Additionally, I am a Christian and use this belief system in the therapy session for those who desire it, while also respecting people who believe differently.

My name is Amber. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio. My role is to empower you on this journey of self-actualization. I bring authenticity, warmth, and a solution-oriented approach. We will be working side by side to identify your goals, values, and strengths. From there, we will process past experiences to help you move on to becoming your best self. I have been helping clients achieve their goals for the past several years. These clients range from the age of one-year-old to over fifty-years-old. About 60% of my clients are 12 and under. In working with younger children, I have had the most success using telehealth when parents are present to monitor, arrange a predictable environment, and assist with any technical issues. In working with younger children, the parents’ role is vital. I work as a team with parents and caregivers to build a healthy relationship and find the appropriate strengths-based parenting strategies for the child. Recommended parenting techniques are largely based on the Conscious Discipline model which encourages mindful parenting. With younger children, the parents’ cooperation is imperative to reach desired behavioral goals. I also draw from the approaches outlined in Working with Challenging Youth by Brent Richardson, Ed.D.

We’re always facing new challenges in life. These challenges may be new, years in the making, or leading to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sadness, anxious, or depressed. The step towards support is a brave one! I have been a licensed independent social worker for 18 years. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space in sessions. Together, we’ll work to build coping strategies and find clarity. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, centered on your unique needs, expereinces, values, and goals. I have completed training and am certified through Postpartum Support International with experience working with women facing a range of circumstances.
