She deeply believes in each person’s capacity for change and growth. As a holistic psychotherapist, she helps clients recognize and overcome obstacles and strengthen their ability to live a holistically well life. Her personal mission is to help people understand who they really are, why they do what they do, and how they can change for the better.

Amber shows care by making sure that people feel seen and supported. She listens with empathy and compassion. She provides coping strategies and grounding techniques to help process emotions, build resiliency, and interrupt harmful thoughts or behaviors. She helps you tap into your own strengths and intuition to find effective solutions to life's issues. She is committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care that affirms the experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ people.

Amber works with adolescents and adults on issues that include depression, anxiety, chronic stress, traumatic stress, grief, and life transitions. She helps people address concerns with family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, body image, self-esteem, and identity exploration. Her approach to therapy integrates multiple perspectives including DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), solutions-focused, strengths-based, and person-centered therapies, and mindfulness-based and body-centered (somatic) practices.

Amber is also a yoga teacher so mindfulness and embodiment practices are an important part of her approach to helping and healing. Multiple trauma-informed yoga trainings influence her style of mindfully talking students through the positioning of their bodies within a safe, accessible yoga practice. Amber also enjoys traveling and writing short stories and poetry in her free time.
