You might choose to work with Amber if you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, grounded, and refreshingly real. Amber supports children, teens, adults, and parents navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, perinatal mental health, and life’s bigger transitions. She brings over two decades of experience, a deeply relational approach, and a genuine belief in the healing power of feeling truly seen. Drawing on IFS, somatic approaches, DBT, and attachment-informed care, Amber creates space where both kids and the grown-ups who love them can begin to heal.

Amber draws from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Play Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Attachment-Informed Therapy, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic and Body-Based Approaches, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness and Meditation, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
