Finding light in the darkness

About Amber (she/they)

In a society that is based in heterosexual, cisgender, and neurotypical privilege, navigating life can be challenging AF for queer, trans, gender-expansive, & neurodivergent folks. I love working with creative adults (aged 18-45) that are navigating these challenging aspects of life as well as difficult relationship or family dynamics, painful childhood experiences, and difficulty coping with the strain of it all. As a queer-identifying therapist, I partner with my clients to provide support & empowerment in an anti-oppressive, gender-affirming, trauma-sensitive, & harm reducing manner. 

I enjoy helping clients heal the root cause of present-day struggles. Trauma is at the root of SO much — understanding its impact on the brain & body, finding ways to regulate, and digging up the root (gently & once safety is established) can be incredibly empowering. I integrate attachment-based, relational, and trauma-informed modalities. I am trained in Brainspotting - a mind-body healing modality - to facilitate healing from adverse life experiences.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll find me painting, making music, cuddling with my cat & dogs, collecting tarot decks, exploring, and/or reading 2-3 books at a time.

Starting the process of working with a new therapist can feel daunting. Know that in our work together, you are in complete control of the pace. We are in this together. Don’t hesitate to contact me using the link above if you’d like to schedule a free consultation. I'd be honored to partner with you.
