About Amber

I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where you can speak honestly and be received with empathy and dignity. In therapy, I will invite you to tell your story, reflect on formative relationships and experiences, and grow in awareness of current thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will set goals related to your challenges and experiment with new skills and ways of thinking to leave you feeling more confident, hopeful, and effective in important roles and relationships.

I welcome clients ages 12 and up. I frequently work with pre-teens, teens, college & graduate students, and young adults, offering support and skills to clients and their families as they cope with anxiety, depression, relational learning, and consistent transition. I utilizes evidenced-based practices, drawing primarily from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment Theory. I view counseling from a holistic lens, acknowledging the complex interaction of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors on health and well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) and received a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling - Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in journalism and remained at Carolina for five years working with undergraduate students.

Outside of work, I enjoy going for walks, reading novels, and borrowing other people's dogs.
