Hi there, I'm Amber!

I focus on working with individuals and couples who struggle with relational expectations and disappointments that impact their daily lives. My practice has experience and unique skills to work with folx who identify in the LGBTQIA community.

My focus

I work with clients in the LGBTQIA community - individuals, couples, and families. I work with young adults and older adults. I work with clients who have trauma histories and have extensive experience with treating trauma. I do relationship work to treat anxiety and depression.

My approach

I believe how you feel in therapy is critical to the success of treatment. Trust and acceptance are cornerstones of the support you may need to finally break through the emotional barriers to your happiness. I have significant experience and training in working with trauma and use research-proven techniques to guide your healing.
