I cannot recommend Amber as a therapist enough!
She has helped me come to understand myself and my mind more than I ever thought I’d be able to.
She’s also helped me grow into who I am and what I stand for as a person, and be proud of it.
Plus, she sends you extremely encouraging quotes throughout the week that always hit home (at least for me), and her approach to therapy itself is one you can tell comes from a place of love and care for people. I appreciate her more than my words can say!

Amber uses a multitude of modalities to help me while providing homework that helps me to explore my tendencies on my own time. I enjoy the positive affirmations she does.

Amber is very attentive. She sends me a daily quote & responds in a timely matter. When a time isn’t showing on her schedule, she still tells me what’s available for a session even if I don’t see the time.
