Hello! My name is Amber, and I am a licensed therapist who provides an LGBTQIA+ affirming and allied space for those navigating anxiety and depression. I work with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and are looking for grounded and genuine support. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space that is deeply immersed in empathy. We can navigate anxiety and depression together and work towards achievable goals.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and young adults and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, and those “what am I doing with my life?” moments. I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space that feels real, relaxed, and judgment-free. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here to support you. I also offer a bilingual and culturally aware space where you can show up fully as yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With 23 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share your story without judgment. Together, we'll explore the challenges bringing you to therapy, identify your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to do it alone—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides caring, personalized mental health support. I help people with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, stress etc.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, heard, and respected. I take time to listen and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. This may include medication, simple coping tools, and ongoing support.

I understand that starting mental health care can feel overwhelming, so I keep the process clear, supportive, and focused on what matters most to you.

I offer virtual visits with flexible scheduling. I welcome people from all backgrounds and look forward to helping you feel better and more in control of your mental health.

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

Former teacher + school counselor turned therapist.

I’ve spent 12 years supporting teens—first as a teacher, then as a school counselor—and now I help young people build resilience and grow through life’s challenges. I’ve walked alongside adolescents and young adults through real‐life ups and downs.
