Meet Amber

Therapy is more than simply talking about what’s wrong. For me, it’s about creating a genuine connection, understanding what brought you here, and helping you make sense of the things that may have shaped you along the way.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Professional with more than a decade of experience working with adults from all walks of life. My clinical experience has included inpatient and outpatient treatment, addiction and recovery, military populations, corrections, and clinical leadership. These experiences have taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.

How I Can Help

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship difficulties, burnout, isolation, life transitions, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences.

I have a particular interest in helping people who are beginning to recognize that the ways they’ve learned to cope may no longer be serving them. Together, we can explore where those patterns came from, develop healthier ways of responding, and create meaningful change without losing sight of who you are.

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and person-centered. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and EMDR.

But therapy isn’t just about choosing the right technique. I believe the relationship between therapist and client matters just as much. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and create a space where you can be honest—even when the truth is uncomfortable.

I believe in flexibility, empathy, and advocacy. You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there.

A Little More Personally

I believe therapists should be willing to do their own work, too. I continue to invest in education, professional development, self-reflection, mindfulness, and my own personal growth so I can remain present and grounded in the work I do with others.

As the founder of Cozy Couch Counseling, I wanted to create something that feels different from a clinical office where you simply come in, sit down, and tell someone what’s wrong. I wanted it to feel comfortable, human, and welcoming—a place where you can take a breath, be yourself, and begin.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out.

Sometimes, the first step is simply deciding you’re ready to understand yourself a little better.
