You've always had a reputation for being calm. People have no clue. If they could only hear the chaos in your thoughts: "I screwed up again. I should not have said/done that. They will not like me!" Meanwhile, you are tracking your never ending to-do list. You are completely overwhelmed with decisions + choices. You see others achieving more with their day. It is tiring to have to prove yourself constantly. A part of you is pushing hard to get ahead in life. Another part of you is hitting the breaks - scared of failing again. This war with yourself is exhausting both your mind and body. All you want is to rest + just do nothing.

I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS-My passion in life is to provide therapeutic counseling support and interventions for adults, adolescents, and children whom are experiencing difficulty in some area of their life. I have over 17 years of experience treating clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, trauma, self esteem, behavior/anger management, eating disorders, weight management and provide family and marriage therapy. I am currently providing tele-health services to provide support to clients throughout California! Please email or call if interested in making an appointment.

I believe in helping people change from the inside out - not just addressing their day-to-day struggles but the feelings, beliefs and expectations that underlie them to bring about lasting change. By exploring these core issues and learning new tools to deal with them, you can break free from the obstacles that interfere with satisfaction and fulfillment in your life and relationships.

I am also an Educational Therapist working in various schools and clinics. I work with children, adolescents, and parents and all the professionals that orbit their lives. School Anxiety is a particular area of interest. The colleagues I work with support the multi-diciplinary approach to treating the whole child. Professionals I work with have specialties not limited to speech, language, vision, psychiatry, family counseling, parenting, neurodevelopment, teaching, play and more. As an Educational Therapist I offer children and adults with learning disabilities and other learning challenges a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning problems.

Therapy can be a place to reclaim your life and sense of self in order to thrive. When life gets difficult it’s easy to end up feeling lost, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. In times like this, building our mental health is an important part of reclaiming ourselves and our lives.

You are not defined by your struggles. You have the ability to rewrite your future story. Let's rewrite it together by building upon your strengths. You are your own author, and I will walk beside you to write a story that works for you. You have already taken the first step by reaching out for help and this shows your inner strength and resilience. In our sessions, you will find empathy, compassion, and warmth, with some humor mixed in for good measure.

Hello! For 30+ years I have been both a therapist and an academic researcher, studying depression and emotion self-regulation. My perspective is scientifically informed but my focus is on the personal journey of therapy, which can be deeply rewarding and even life changing. The problems that clients bring to me vary widely and I take a collaborative, non judgmental approach toward meeting the needs of each individual. Together, we work to develop a picture of what holds them back and formulate strategies for moving toward personal goals. My greatest satisfaction is seeing a client build a life of greater ease and fulfillment.

I think we all can have a time in our lives where we reach a problem or a series of problems and are faced with the question of "how do I get through this?" or "what should I do?" Regardless of what brought you to that crossroad, therapy is a useful means to help you figure out what to do next. Your time is important and your life is meant to be full of happiness. We all are transitioning from something and have to make the choice about what is best for us. Live your life and enjoy it.

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.

I offer a judgment free environment to explore your concerns, troubles, dreams, and questions. We will be on this journey together: I particularly like working with anxiety, stress, and career challenges. I also enjoy processing through spiritual questions and angst. Together, we will identify, clarify, and process emotions and ideas that are causing you discomfort. Just as importantly, we'll set goals together so you can effectively understand the progress you've made.
