Relational Trauma & Anxiety Therapy for Adults in Los Gatos, California

I’m Amanda,

your support & guide to living an intentional life: more self-aware, less insecure, and deeply proud of your growth. So glad you’re here, brave soul.

You’re here because you’re ready to meet yourself in the unknown, and grow with intention.


You’re ready to move beyond the patterns and barriers that have kept you from living the life you want, not the one you’ve been taught you should live.


You’re ready to move through the struggle, not stay stuck in it.


And most importantly, you know that stepping into this unknown isn’t just an act of courage > it’s an act of deep love. For yourself, and for the people you share your life with.
