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.
Hello! My name is My, and I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). With a strong foundation in both mental and physical health, I am passionate about providing holistic care that addresses all aspects of well-being. My goal is to support individuals not only through mental health challenges but also with their overall physical health, understanding that the two are deeply connected.
My philosophy for therapy is that it should be a “short term investment for life long benefits”. As a therapist, I am calm, patient, direct and honest.
I have had the pleasure of practicing psychotherapy for more than 15 years helping adolescent and adults in both individual and family therapy. As a minority LBGTQ+ identified therapist, you and I will utilize Cognitive Behavior to explore and examine your thoughts, feelings and behaviors towards more rationally conscious and healthy patterns
I’ve been where you are. As someone in long-term recovery, I understand the challenges firsthand and bring both empathy and 15 years of professional counseling experience to support you in finding your own path and developing your strengths. I work with adolescents, people struggling with substance use, and those facing anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma.
I specialize in working with individuals in recovery and LGBTQ+ clients, helping you build resilience, explore your goals, and discover practical strategies that fit your life.
My approach is collaborative and empowering—you set the pace, and I walk alongside you with understanding, guidance, and support as you create meaningful change and uncover the strengths you already have within.
