Amanda received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis in Family Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2002. She received her Master’s of Social Work from Indiana University at Indianapolis in 2004. Amanda worked as a pediatric medical social worker for 14 years. During that time, she felt humbled to walk with families who were facing g
rief, loss, trauma, life changing diagnoses, co-parenting within crisis, and general family crisis. While witnessing these journeys, she began to look at situations from a Family Systems lens, and continues to use Systems Theory in her work today. When an event happens to one person in a family, others within the family are affected as well. Amanda believes it is important for all individuals within the family to feel heard and validated in their personal experiences. Amanda feels honored to meet people wherever they are on their journey, and assist them in bringing normalcy and balance back to their lives after a life-changing event. Amanda is committed to continually reassessing treatment goals and progress, and your feedback is appreciated.
