She supports folks of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.
Amber’s approach to therapy draws upon Buddhist philosophy and the notion that every human being possesses an innate clarity-- an inner "Self" harboring qualities of compassion, courage, wisdom, and loving-kindness. This aligns well with the language of Internal Family Systems therapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, the techniques she is training in at Clear Path. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process wherein clients are gently guided inward with compassionate curiosity, engaging in self-exploration that allows clients to tap into their own inner resources and experience healing, insight, and growth.
