New to Grow
Hi! I’m Amber! I’m a warm, bubbly, and compassionate provider who believes in meeting clients exactly where they are. I take a client-centered approach, moving at a pace that feels right for you, and focus on building strong rapport as the foundation of our work together. Once that trust is built, I bring honesty, energy, and sometimes a bit of boldness into our sessions—always with the goal of supporting your growth in a safe and respectful space.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other. I’ll spend time learning about what brought you in, what you’re hoping to work on, and any goals or concerns you’d like to share. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—we’ll go at your pace. I focus on creating a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can start to feel safe, seen, and heard. Building that connection is our first step, and from there, we’ll begin shaping a path forward together.
One of my greatest strengths is building strong, genuine connections with clients. I create a space that’s warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth—where you can feel safe to be yourself. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels right for them, while also being honest and direct when it’s helpful. I bring both gentleness and energy into the room, which helps clients feel supported but also encouraged to grow, reflect, and challenge old patterns when they’re ready.
I’m best suited to work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating life transitions, exploring their identity, or working through relational challenges. Whether you’re figuring out who you are, adjusting to new phases of life, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer a space where you can slow down and connect with yourself. My ideal clients value honesty, are open to self-exploration, and appreciate a supportive, collaborative environment where they can grow at their own pace.
My approach to “person-centered” therapy is allowing the client to lead session, meeting them in the here-and-now, providing them space to sift through thoughts, approach gently and compassionately. This is especially important as we begin the first couple of sessions getting to know each other. Then, I may utilize other methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
