Learn more about Amanda

I enjoy working with seniors in overcoming hardship and challenges to have a better quality of life and a healthier perspective on life. It is rewarding to work with older adults, as I love helping them identify their inner strengths and skills to meet their treatment and life goals.

Online therapy is effective for seniors because it is convenient and safe. Some clients feel more comfortable seeking therapy from the privacy of their own homes, rather than in a physical office. Online therapy also offers accessibility for individuals who may have a disability and do not have access to transportation.

I have worked in private and group practices, long-term care facilities, post-acute care facilities, hospitals, and health systems/medical centers. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to enhancing the well-being of seniors by counseling caregivers, and communities on many aspects of life that change as we age, including those related to overall well-being, illness, disability, and changes in socio-economic circumstances; coordinating care and addressing challenges and opportunities as they arise over a period of months, years, and sometimes even decades.

Most commonly, in session, I use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and client-centered, strength-based, and motivational interviewing approaches. These modalities aid me in empowering my clients and discovering their hidden strengths and abilities to overcome the challenges of life and increase happiness.
