Introduction

Hello, I’m Amber, a therapist dedicated to helping clients heal, grow, and thrive. My passion for therapy began with a deep interest in how creative expression can foster emotional healing. Over time, I’ve specialized in approaches like EMDR and expressive therapies, including sand tray therapy, painting, mask-making, and collage, to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can process their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I work with individuals seeking healing and well-being, especially those navigating the challenges of trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. Together, we focus on collaborative goals such as reducing distress, building coping skills, and fostering secure relationships—with others and, most importantly, with themselves. In our sessions, I guide clients through processing past experiences, helping them reduce emotional distress, improve relationships, and rediscover a sense of empowerment. Through creative tools like sand tray and art therapy, I offer unique ways to explore feelings that may be difficult to express with words alone, creating a path toward deeper healing. I know the courage it takes to confront past pain, and I want you to know you’re not alone. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, seen, and empowered to create the fulfilling life you deserve. If you’re ready to take that next step, it would be my honor to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.
