Rediscover Yourself Through Creativity
Navigating the complexities of the human experience can feel overwhelming, but healing and self-discovery are within reach. Creative expression offers a powerful way to reflect, gain clarity, and connect with your authentic self.
Healing Through Self-Expression
Art as a Bridge to Connection
This space is designed to help you explore your past, present, and future while celebrating your unique identity. Guided by the belief that “art is the meeting ground of our inner and outer worlds,” this process invites insight, self-compassion, and personal growth as you move toward greater connection and healing.

Amber’s FOCUS
Autism & ADHD
Living as a neurodivergent individual, whether autistic, ADHD, or both, can present unique strengths and challenges. In this space, your neurodivergent identity will be respected and celebrated, offering the support you need to navigate life authentically.
trauma & cPTSD
The journey to healing from trauma can be overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone. In this space, your trauma is met with compassion and care, helping you process difficult experiences and build resilience in your own time.
lgbtqIA+
You deserve a safe, affirming space to explore your gender identity and sexual orientation. This is a place where you can express your true self, be heard, and receive the understanding and support needed to navigate the complexities of living authentically.
art therapy
Art therapy gives you the freedom to express emotions and experiences in ways that words cannot. Through creative exploration, you will have a safe outlet to process feelings and gain new insights into your internal world.

Outside of therapy, I’m someone who thrives on creativity, connection, and finding joy in the little things. You might find me wandering through nature, sketchbook in hand, or spending quality time with my family and my dogs, who are constant sources of laughter and love. I’m passionate about sustainability and enjoy exploring ways to live more harmoniously with the world around us. I’m also a big fan of puns, cozy moments, and fostering community—whether through shared experiences or heartfelt conversations. These parts of my life fuel the empathy and creativity I bring into the therapy space, helping us connect in a way that feels authentic and supportive.
