Amalia is a clinical social worker with an additional masters degree in human sexuality. She specializes in working with women and gender non-binary adults. Amalia has advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, which helps her patients understand their unconscious patterns in their most intimate relationships.
I help my clients internalize a greater sense of self-compassion with patience, care, and great attention to detail. I take my time learning about your family of origin, past relationships, and relationship to the culture at large. My advanced training in psychodynamic therapy helps me listen for what’s not consciously known to you, but is certainly felt. Sometimes this feels like a chronic sense that you’re not good enough, even when you “know” that isn’t true. Maybe you’re anxious, lonely, or confused by your own choices. I approach each patient with the humility of knowing that no matter how much training I have, I know close to nothing about how your mind has made sense of your life. We work together to make useful meaning of what we learn about you together.

Amalia brings the right blend of expertise, curiosity, and humility to her role as a therapist. Her intelligence, boundaries, and commitment to the dignity of her clients should be the standard for the field. Any client, especially those from marginalized or invisible identities, would be fortunate to be in her care.
Amalia uses evidence-based styles of psychotherapy to provide quality treatment to each client. Amalia cares deeply about her clients and she's extremely thoughtful while working with them to reach their goals. Amalia continues to strive to educate herself about her field, which informs her exceptional ability to help her clients.
Amalia is not just knowledgeable, but the way she presents that knowledge in an unassuming and compassionate way is refreshing. Clients will have access to a real advocate for their interests and healing. She quickly allows for trust and security to transpire in her office.
