I've been with Amber since 2018.

Finding the right therapist can make such a difference, and I feel incredibly grateful that I found Amber. She is professional, approachable, comforting, compassionate, and an amazing listener. She is also extremely skilled at what she does, especially with EMDR. What I appreciate most is that she never tells me what I should do or how I should feel. She guides me, gives me the tools and space to understand myself, and allows me to do the work in my own time. She has been instrumental in my healing, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without the support and guidance she has given me. At the end of the day, she’s just a damn good human who happens to be amazing at her job. I’m so grateful I found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for genuine support, guidance, compassion, and care.

She has an incredible ability to help you see situations from perspectives you never would have considered on your own. She’s genuine, patient, kind, and intentional in every session. She helps you understand not only what you’re feeling, but why.

Every session leaves me feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a clearer understanding of myself. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly makes a difference.

I really cannot recommend another therapist more.

I've been with Amber since 2018. I think it's very important to remember that your needs and desires as a patient may not align with a therapists practice, which is why they have intro meetings and generally longer first sessions. Amber has been great for my mental health. She's patient, responsive, challenging, and what I find the most important, provides the support for me to be responsible for my progress. I started therapy after experiencing loss trauma but I've been able to work on so many pieces of myself with her help and guidance.

For the past 2 years, I have been fortunate enough to have Amber as my therapist. She has been extremely understanding and patient as I have worked through many issues that I ignored for years. Not only has she been compassionate with me, she has also referred me to other incredible providers and support systems to work in tandem with our sessions. Amber relates to her clients, while also using her education and tools to walk them through difficult times. She has my utmost trust and I have referred many of my close friends to her.

Amber has been a therapist, confidant, and support system of mine for several years now. When I first saw her, I showed up hoping for guidance with a current battle I was facing. With time, she helped me to face that battle and endless other wars I had continued to fight without even realizing it. I am a young woman who has experienced a variety of life’s battles. I highly recommend seeing Amber if you are someone looking for a calming and comforting space to feel heard and seen.

I have known and worked with Amber for over 10 years. I refer adolescents from my practice to her with full confidence in her skills and ability to connect and relate to teens. Amber is very empathetic and compassionate in her clinical care. When I needed a therapist for a family member, I thought of Amber first. She was able to get them in quickly, was always accessible and reliable in scheduling. They liked her office, location and ability to help with insight and support. Reviews of therapists and healthcare providers, especially in mental health are not fair in a way because anyone can say anything and people are coming to mental health professionals for their own personal reasons. But you can trust Amber, she’s skillful, experienced and cares about her work and her clients and families!

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Amber. I've been to a number of different therapists throughout the years and have never reached the level of comfort/trust I experienced with her so quickly. She has helped me work through a wide variety of issues with patience, humor and kindness. Amber stays up to date on the latest science in her field and is consistently learning and using her extensive knowledge to help her clients. It is easy to tell that her work is her passion and she genuinely cares about those she sees. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone seeking help with issues big or small.
