I’m Amber.

I work with individuals who are extremely stressed out and have probably heard they “really need to chill.”

Managing trauma, anxiety, and burnout can feel like an endless loop. Maybe you feel disconnected and isolated, or it’s harder to keep up with your commitments. Together, we can create a healthy space to move forward using ART and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also love Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for intrusive/obsessive thoughts.

I hold space for the weirdos, the artists, the nerds, the philosophers, and the black sheep who are tired of trying so dang hard to put themselves in a box. Previously, I was the Lead Therapist for an eating disorder intensive outpatient program. My personal practice has shifted away from being strictly eating disorder recovery, but I still apply the tools I learned from ED treatment and still involve myself in the recovery space to some capacity.

I’m also a therapist with a chronic illness. Because of this, I know what it’s like to feel weighted down while trying to keep yourself afloat. It forces me to model anti-burnout strategies in my own practice. For instance, working telehealth allows me to meet my health needs so that I can be fully present for you. Charging a sliding scale allows me to meet the needs of more people without the draining insurance work that can eat into my health practices.
