Many of the clients I’ve worked with are high-functioning and deeply thoughtful people who simply feel exhausted from carrying too much alone. They may struggle with trauma, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, relationship challenges, ongoing stress, life transitions, relationship stress, grief, trauma, and racial battle fatigue. They may be searching for clarity, emotional safety, and a place where they aren’t judged. Their goal is to understand themselves and to build a life that feels authentic, emotionally healthy, grounded, and aligned with who they truly are. Ambra also provides counseling and consulting for leaders and entrepreneurs.

Therapy should be a place where you can exhale a little — where you do not have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out before you walk in. My hope is to create a relationship where you feel comfortable being fully yourself while also being supported, encouraged, and challenged as you grow into the person you want to become. I work with clients to build self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, process painful experiences, and reconnect with their own sense of purpose, confidence, and possibility. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, curiosity, and care.

The truth is life can be hard and things can be tough. We may feel down on our luck or even feel hopeless that things will never change. Depression, anxiety, sleepless nights, confusion and stress happen to the best of us and it is ok to reach out to a professional. It is normal to feel lost and uncertain sometimes on how to take a step forward towards living a more enjoyable life defined by your own terms. I believe reaching goals and true change can happen with the right mindset and tools, which I strive to help my clients develop in the most effective way!

My treatment approach is eclectic in nature, but I mainly use psychodynamic therapy in my practice. Clients would would benefit from my services if they are ready to examine and develop insight into how past experiences impact their present lives. Clients should expect to be validated and gently challenged in therapy in order to get through the mental blocks that keep them stuck in repeating the same self-destructive patterns.

I have experience working with people who have experienced a range of issues including trauma, anger and stress management, racial identity and life transitions.
Are you looking for a safe place to explore the challenges that come up in life? A place to prioritize you? Starting therapy can often time feel scary. I hope to provide a place where people can feel they can talk about the stressful, overwhelming, or disappointing things in their lives. A place where you will be comfortable to cry, laugh, learn, and grow.

Life is challenging. So many ebbs and flows. I recognize that and would love to help you on your journey. We can all use a little support from time to time. Relationships can be difficult to manage. Setting (and keeping) boundaries at home, at work, or within relationships is hard work. If you or your child are looking for support with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, domestic violence, abuse, communication, or trauma, I'd love to help. I use creative therapy techniques in-person and via tele-health to support you or your child.

Maybe you’re navigating the heavy weight of racial identity in spaces that weren't built for you, or perhaps you’re tired of performing a version of yourself that feels like a mask.
The toughest years can be young adulthood, feeling like you have to have it all figured out. I became the therapist I wish I’d had back then: someone who gets the grind, respects the hustle, but isn't afraid to dive into the deep stuff. I'm Strength-First, always. We aren’t going to spend every session just staring at what’s broken.

Many of us go our entire lives with the feeling of being unseen and unheard. Some of us experience this so fully that we may even feel trapped in the stories others have written for us. What would it be like to feel accepted as you are? To show up authentically and know that was enough? You don’t need to be strong, happy, or put-together.
