In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.
During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.
I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

Hello and welcome,
My name is Amber (she/her). I recognize that sometimes, the hardest decision about seeking support is the decision to do so, which is why I emphasize the importance of starting where each person is at. I have over 12 years experience working with people from all walks of life at various points on their journey from children, youth, adults, and families. My approach shifts to the needs of each unique person I meet; nonetheless, it aligns most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness. I look forward to connecting to explore if I am the right fit for your journey
