Meet Amanda

I’m Amanda! I earned my Masters in Social Work from Barry University in Miami, FL. I have experience serving children, adolescents and families in a variety of settings but I've specifically focused my practice on relationships. I find the way we relate to the world and others is often correlated with the way we feel about ourselves. Many of my clients come to me experiencing anxiety, depression or other distressing symptoms related to relational issues. I myself have experienced this. And because of this, I truly believe you can heal and find peace within yourself and your relationships.

Amanda is also a professional wedding officiant.

I’m a supporter of marriage equality and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

You’ve probably figured out by now that I’m super passionate about relationships. So much so that I’m a professional wedding officiant! I currently reside in Asheville, NC with my pup, Mona. I’m kind of a cliche Ashevillian who loves paddleboarding, rock climbing, and hiking. My favorite way to spend a Friday night is relaxing at home and enjoying a cup of tea while listening to an audiobook or podcast. I host a Sober Curious Meetup Group for 20-40 year olds who are seeking social experiences without alcohol in Asheville. You can find out more on the Meetup app.

You can spend a lifetime being curious about the inner world of your partner, and being brave enough to share your own inner world, and never be done discovering all there is to know about each other. It’s exciting.
