Do you feel stuck in overthinking, anxiety, or constant worry—even when life seems like it should be okay? Maybe your mind won't slow down, you're feeling burned out, or you're struggling in your relationships. You don't have to figure it out alone. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to break out of old patterns and move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change that fits your values and goals. Whether you're working through anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, burnout, or a major life transition, therapy is a place to feel heard, gain clarity, and leave with tools you can actually use. I also enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect. My goal is simple: to help you feel more confident, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a chance for us to get clear on what’s been going on and what’s been feeling the hardest lately. We’ll talk about how it’s affecting your day-to-day life, what you want to be different, and what you’ve already tried. Together, we’ll start identifying realistic goals and practical next steps—especially if you’re dealing with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling stuck in the same patterns. You’ll leave with more clarity and a sense of direction.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I meet people—and couples—exactly where they are. I focus on creating a supportive environment that encourages real change—where you feel safe enough to be honest, and supported enough to try something different. Clients often leave sessions feeling calmer, more emotionally clear, and more confident about their next steps. My style is supportive, honest, and collaborative. We’ll focus on what’s actually keeping you stuck—whether that’s overthinking, anxiety, relationship stress, or repeating patterns—and work toward practical changes you can use outside of session. The goal is for you to feel more clear, confident, and steady in your everyday life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults who feel stuck in their own head—overthinking, second-guessing, and feeling unsure about what to do next. On the outside, things might look fine, but internally it feels overwhelming or exhausting to keep up. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, or major life transitions. They want clarity, better communication, and to feel more confident in their decisions—but aren’t sure how to get there. Therapy with me feels like a real conversation. We focus on understanding patterns, getting out of unhelpful loops, and making practical changes that actually stick. Together, we work toward clearer thinking, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of direction in your life.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I Life can be hard, and sometimes our thoughts and emotions can leave us feeling stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) isn't about forcing yourself to "think positive" or pretending difficult feelings don't exist. Instead, it's about learning how to make room for those experiences without letting them control your life. Together, we'll explore what truly matters to you and help you take meaningful steps toward the life you want—even when anxiety, self-doubt, past experiences, or stress show up along the way. ACT combines mindfulness, practical coping skills, and values-based goal setting to help you respond to life's challenges with greater flexibility, resilience, and confidence. My goal is to help you spend less time struggling with your thoughts and more time building a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are.

Attachment-based

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) because it's practical, empowering, and focused on helping you build the life you want—not just reduce symptoms. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck and learn new ways to respond to them instead of feeling controlled by them. ACT can be especially helpful for anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and self-doubt. Whether we're working through communication issues, setting healthier boundaries, or breaking old patterns, my goal is to help you move toward what matters most to you with greater confidence, flexibility, and purpose. I believe therapy should leave you with real tools you can use long after you leave my office.

Came for distressing thoughts. Felt heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Amber was such a good listener and helpful to suggest bite-size goals I can make.

As someone who was weary of therapy and even seeing someone beforehand, I can say she has been such a cornerstone for my growth. She creates a space where I feel safe and truly seen, challenged, and supported. Every session, I walk away lighter, with clarity and tools I now put into action. If you're hesitant, I really believe she may be the person who changes that for you and walks with you as you grow. The right therapist can truly be a game changer, and I believe thats exactly who she is.
