Great to meet you!

You've probably been the strong one for a long time. The one who figures it out, holds it together,

keeps moving. And maybe you're realizing that approach has a cost.

I'm Amber, the founder of Resolution Therapy & Wellness and a Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist with 17 years of experience. I work with adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling their

way through anxiety, relationship patterns, and emotional overload — and start understanding

what's actually driving it.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people (HSPs), LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, young

adults navigating identity and early relationships (ages 18–26), and anyone dealing with career

stress, grief, or the kind of relationship patterns that keep repeating. I bring a culturally sensitive,

strength-based lens to everything I do, and I take a direct, solution-focused approach — because I

know your time matters and you want to actually feel different, not just talk about feeling different.

I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Carelon Behavioral Health, and

Cigna. I offer evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 4:30pm — designed for

working adults who can't step away from their day.

My approach to therapy

Show up as you are — that's the only prerequisite. I work from a person-centered foundation, which

means the session goes where you need it to go. I'm not going to hand you a workbook and call it a

plan. I'm going to sit with you, understand what's actually happening, and figure out together what

needs to shift.

That said, I'm also direct. I'll name patterns I notice, reflect back what I'm hearing, and gently

challenge the stories that are keeping you stuck. We'll use evidence-based approaches — CBT,

solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, attachment work — in whatever combination

serves you best.

I'm also someone who holds faith as important. If spirituality is a meaningful part of your life, there's

room for that here. If it's not, that's fine too — I meet you where you are.

What you can expect from me

Come ready to talk — but not ready to have it all figured out. The first session is a conversation, not

an intake form.

I'll ask about what brought you here, what's been going on, and what you want to be different. I'll

listen for the patterns underneath the surface and get curious about your history, your relationships,

and your strengths. By the end of the first session, you'll have a clearer sense of what we'll work on

and how, and I'll have a clearer picture of what you actually need.

The goal is to leave feeling like you were genuinely heard — and like this might actually help.
