Great to meet you!

Amber is a black queer therapist who understands the importance of holding space for all of the intersections of our identities and our experiences. Amber has worked with clients who experience depression, anxiety or trauma related to society, family, relationships, grief or general life stuff. Is it hard for you to be present to life's successes because of past traumatic experiences?

My approach to therapy

Amber incorporates compassion and cultural sensitivity into each session while using a holistic therapeutic approach. She uses CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR therapies to help clients move through life's challenges.

What you can expect from me

Regardless if you’re depressed or experiencing anxiety from work, identity or racial trauma, or life transitions, together we’ll work to develop a healthier mindset, skills and insights that help you honor your needs. If anything you've read is relatable, consider setting up a consultation with me. You are the expert on your own life, start living fully now.
