Hi there, I'm Amber!

I enjoy working with adults at any stage in their life. From navigating personal relationships, major life changes, grief and loss, to managing day to day challenges associated with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or complicated reactions related to trauma, I am committed to helping you achieve your best life through our therapeutic alliance.

My focus

I work with adults, families, and couples addressing relationships, family turmoil, grief and loss, end of life, major life changes, work/life stress, addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma.

My approach

My approach to therapy is holistic and person-centered utilizing a dynamic approach of therapy techniques tailored to meet your needs. I recognize the importance of the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client and I will work hard to build that trust with you, first and foremost.

My communication style

In sessions, I want you to feel welcome, heard, and safe. I create that environment by listening intently without judgment, responding with a calm and soft tone, and allowing you the time you need to process and heal.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a therapist started out while working as a medical assistant and scheduler for a psychologist, who became my mentor. I remember admiring the work he did and thinking how much I would enjoy doing the same thing. I decided earning a Master of Social Work was the best path for me.

My goals for you

Setting goals for therapy is an important first step. I like to use the SMART approach: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Setting goals early helps create measurable outcomes for determining your success in therapy.

Our first session

In the first session, we'll go over the therapeutic alliance, confidentiality, and what to expect. I'll want to learn why you decided to seek therapy, your experience with it, and what goals you have for our work together.
