My Approach to Helping
Hello, I am Amber, a licensed marriage and family therapist, a graduate from John F. Kennedy University where I studied holistic counseling psychology, an experiential program that went beyond the traditional clinical nature of becoming a therapist, where I developed skills and enthusiasm needed to attune to the whole person and nt just a list of symptoms or diagnsis. My education and training amplify the traditional therapeutic work by also incorporating expressive arts, play, nature, and somatic interventions. Prior to having my private practice, I worked for county programs with those who have moderate to severe mental health issues, community-based non-profits, residential treatment centers, and in schools with children whose mental health impacts their ability to learn and have quality relationships with their peers and families.
