Hi, I am Amber. I attended THE Southern University in Baton Rouge to obtain my undergrad and I attended the University of Texas to obtain my Masters degree in Social work. The majority of my clinical experience has been in mental health and addiction. Three words that describe my therapeutic style are: Empathetic, Insightful and Integrative. I choose Empathetic because I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I actively listen to their concerns and validate their emotions. I consider my therapy style is insightful as well. As I listen to clients, I look for patterns, meaning and connections within the clients experience's. This insight helps me to assist clients with identifying and exploring the root cause of their challenges; this leads to personal growth and positive change. Lastly, I am Integrative. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to the individual needs of my client.

Welcome! You’re taking a tremendous step by reaching out for therapy. It’s often a very hard step to make. Hoops to jump through, filling out forms, finding time to look at profiles, thinking about who might be able to help, then eventually finding a time that works for you and the therapist. It takes a lot of work. You making it this far in the process is proof that you’re really motivated and ready to feel the way you want to feel. My experience is in addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, grief, and career development. The people who tend to choose to work with me are those experiencing life changes such as career changes, retirement, empty nest, new parent, illness or injury, divorce, and loss. Though general burnout prevention and stress management has become my “specialty”, I prefer looking at the whole picture. You are not equal to the things that are weighing you down, you are not equal to the mistakes you've made, and you are not equal to what you've been through. There is so much more to you and together we will focus on all of it. We will address overall wellness and patterns of times you’ve felt good and times you’ve felt bad. If you’ve participated in counseling before, you know that every counselor is different and every experience is different. It’s important that we’re on the same page about the process, which is something we’ll talk about the first time we meet. I’m here to listen to you and offer suggestions, but there’s no magic solution. And things aren’t always easy or fun. This is your journey with bumps and wrong turns and sometimes surprises that are better than you imagined. But it’s your journey and I am only here to keep you company and help you find your way. Regardless of how long the journey lasts or what the path is like, I look forward to joining it with you.

I have been a clinical therapist for over 15 years and I have a very empathic style and have treated people with various issues in different stages of their lives. I would love to help you create the changes you are seeking and in turn find your authentic self . I am client centered and my approach is individualized to meet your personal needs and goals. Open to working with adolescents 14 and older.

Building Brighter Tomorrows: Your Personalized Path to Well-being I'm excited to connect with you! As a therapist at Spring Health, I understand the challenges you may be facing, particularly work-related stress, anxiety, and even difficulties in your relationships. These issues can significantly impact your daily life, making finding peace and achieving your goals. My approach to therapy is solution-focused and goal-driven. We'll work together to identify what you want to achieve in therapy and develop a personalized roadmap to get you there. I believe in a direct yet caring style, providing honest and clear guidance. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy. I take the time to understand your unique experiences and perspectives, fostering a sense of trust and openness. This allows us to explore the root causes of your stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges and develop effective coping mechanisms.

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.
