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.
I have a love for connection, adventure, and a good scary movie.
If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’m all about meaningful relationships. That passion led me to become a professional wedding officiant—and honestly, I’ve learned so much about partnership through this experience. It’s truly an honor to help couples celebrate their love in a way that feels authentic, personal, and unforgettable.
I live in Asheville, NC— and yes, I’m that kind of Ashevillian. You can usually find me paddleboarding, rock climbing, or hiking one of the hundreds of gorgeous trails in this area. Nature fuels me, and it’s a big reason I call the Blue Ridge Mountains my home.
When the weekend rolls around, I’m either having a quiet night in the woods or watching a scary movie with my gal pals. I’m a proud ’90s kid, so the Scream franchise will always have my heart (bonus points if you just whispered, “What’s your favorite scary movie?”).
I’m also a co-organizer of Asheville’s Sober Curious Meetup Group for 20- to 40-somethings looking to build community and have fun—minus the booze. Whether we’re hosting game nights, going for group hikes, or just grabbing coffee, we’re all about connection without pressure. 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.”
