About Amber
Hello! I've been a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida for the past 11 years. I graduated summa cum laude from Barry University with a Master of Social Work. I've worked in different areas of practice, including community mental health, addictions, and children and families. I have a special place in my heart for helping teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and individuals with anxiety and depression - especially women who have experienced post-partum depression and psychosis. I strive to be my most authentic self and when appropriate, sprinkle in some humor into our sessions. I tap into your existing inner strengths and use those to help you figure out solutions and come up with strategies. I specialize in working with teens and adults who experience issues with stress, self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief/loss, and trauma (I'm trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). We're a team and we will figure things out together - whatever it is. I deeply care about the people I help. Clinical skills are very important for a therapist to have, but what I think matters most is the rapport and trust clients have with their therapist. I want to empower my clients to build insight and skills to better handle what life throws at them. Read more Show less
