Before she became a therapist, Amanda earned a bachelors degree in public relations from Pacific Union College. While working in development/fundraising for a private high school, Amanda realized that many of the students there were struggling with home and life
challenges that made it hard for them to focus in school. She wanted to find a way to help.
After reading a book on Christian counseling, Amanda decided to enter the field. She earned a masters degree in marriage and family therapy at Loma Linda University. It brings Amanda great joy to help her clients experience complete renovation!
