I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. For almost a decade, I have worked to help many diverse clients, including adults, teens, children, and seniors. Treatment areas have included depression, anxiety, mood disorders, crisis intervention, self-esteem, marital counseling, pre-marital counseling, grief, and more. I am a client-centered therapist who works collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their goals. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my practice include CBT, DBT, Trauma-focused therapy, and the Gottman Method. My sessions can be described as warm, inviting, supportive, collaborative, and educational. When working with me, I will not only listen to your concerns but also help you identify ways to address and overcome them.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we will discuss current challenges, the history of these issues, and get a general understanding of your family history. From there, I will provide you with feedback regarding my suggestions for treatment (i.e., individual therapy, couples therapy, group, medication management, community support, etc). However, all suggestions made by me are purely suggestions; we will start with whatever services you feel comfortable with.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is one who is open to growing and learning. Therapy is a place to explore and better understand yourself. A willingness to utilize the skills taught can lead to a life where one is not just living but thriving.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been trained and certified in CBT. During my sessions I often refer to CBT theory and provide clients with an understanding of CBT skills to create more balanced thoughts and feelings.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have taught DBT skills individually and on a group basis. Many of the skills taught include mindfulness and distress tolerance skills.
Gottman method
I have been trained in the Gottman Method. When providing couples therapy, this is the primary treatment method I use.

She seems kind and solution oriented, willing to listen and help us both learn how to cope and communicate better. I like that she is trained in Gottman.

Amber is very patient and empathetic, as well as a great listener. She is very understanding and able to provide solutions and coping skills based on your needs and where you're at! I look forward to my mental health journey with her.
