You don’t have to keep losing yourself to keep the peace. If you’re always putting others first, walking on eggshells, or overthinking everything you say and do—it’s not because something is wrong with you. These are often the survival strategies of someone who’s been through trauma, neglect, or chaos. If you struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, or never feeling “enough,” I see you—and I can help! If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel seen or if you’re just starting and feeling unsure, that’s okay. You don’t have to show up perfect here. You don’t have to know where to begin. You just have to be willing to start.

Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

Amber is trained certified in EMDR and Trauma Focused-CBT, Rostered in Child Parent Psychotherapy.
When meeting clients I begin with curiosity about "What has happened to you" rather than "What is wrong with you." When I get to bear witness as an individual or family grows and is able to heal from their past it humbles me! I like to walk along side those I work with while helping them develop/discover the life and relationships they desire. I also enjoy working with couples in achieving satisfying marriages or relationships. When not at work I enjoy reading, being in nature, spending time with my family, walking my dog and gardening. I also believe in bringing humor into my work as it helps us all remember what in life is good!
