Therapy is one of those worthwhile challenges in life, but it should always help more than it hurts. Amber believes each person has the ability to meet their goals, and she partners with her clients to help them identify their strengths and put them into motion. Amber uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and a holistic approach to meet clients right where they are as they face various planned or unplanned life changes. Amber’s goal is to help her clients feel supported, safe, and empowered to achieve their goals. Amber is honored to provide individual counseling to teens and adults.

Amber earned a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies at Auburn University. After working several years for the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) as a foster care case manager, she returned to school to obtain a master’s degree in social work from The University of Alabama. Amber has an extensive background in working in child welfare, abuse and neglect, and foster care and with individuals who have experienced significant trauma. Amber has worked within the public school system in various roles to support students. While at Auburn, Amber worked with the Alabama Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Initiative (AHMREI) to provide education to high school students to prevent dating abuse. Amber has become passionate about supporting teens in having healthy peer and dating relationships.

Outside of work, Amber enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and their two dogs. She loves exploring the North Georgia mountains, playing ping-pong, trying new activities like pickleball, or just going for a walk at the park. On a Saturday in the fall, you can find her yelling “War Eagle” as she cheers for her beloved Auburn Tigers.
