We’re all doing the best we can with what we have to work with. Sometimes we can use some extra tools in our toolbox to support us in managing when life occurrences seem to pile up and we just need a break. Amber has experience in treating a range of symptoms, including those related to PTSD, anxiety and depression. Amber is an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and consultant, a Gottman Institute Certified Gottman Therapist, and a Certified Sex Therapist. She provides therapy to both the general population and high-profile, public-facing and celebrity clients. Amber is licensed in California, Iowa and Oregon.

Amber practices therapy with experience in individual and couples therapy. She's trained in a range of interventions including EMDR, CBT and more. She employs a holistic approach —not just looking at you but how your environment is impacting you —so that we can utilize therapy to provide that extra support needed to deal with life’s ongoing adjustments.

If you find yourself reading this and have more questions about how therapy can support you in your life, please feel free to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I appreciate you taking the time to explore your needs thus far. It’s time to give yourself the care you deserve.
