Amber has always enjoyed working with children and adolescents. She has experience working as a caregiver in childcare, youth summer camps, after school programs, and school summer daycare programs, as well as babysitting and nannying.
Since starting her therapy career, Amber has worked with children, adolescents, and adults. She has worked with clients with a range of mood and behavioral disorders, grief, and family struggles. Additionally, Amber has worked with teens in JDAP programs and with clients on probation for substance abuse and anger management. She personally understands the pain and disappointment that comes with childhood adverse events and the importance of every person’s mental health.
Amber’s preferred therapy style is a strength-based perspective, that emphasizes self-determination and resilience, which takes a positive focus to a person’s strengths. She also enjoys incorporating art interventions with children, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness for teens and adults. She has found that she enjoys working with a wide range of age groups from young children to the elderly. Providing therapy requires good listening skills and having compassion, which allows Amber to help find what may help her clients through life’s challenges.
In her free time Amber enjoys reading and spending time with her family.

Kristen is highly empathetic and excellent with children and families.
