I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a masters degree in social work from California State University San Bernardino. I have experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, families and supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, emotional difficulties and relationship challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to help you feel heard understood and supported while developing practical tools that you can use in your everyday life. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship and meeting each client where they are.

You've probably been the strong one for a long time. The one who figures it out, holds it together,

keeps moving. And maybe you're realizing that approach has a cost.

I'm Amber, the founder of Resolution Therapy & Wellness and a Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist with 17 years of experience. I work with adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling their

way through anxiety, relationship patterns, and emotional overload — and start understanding

what's actually driving it.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people (HSPs), LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, young

adults navigating identity and early relationships (ages 18–26), and anyone dealing with career

stress, grief, or the kind of relationship patterns that keep repeating. I bring a culturally sensitive,

strength-based lens to everything I do, and I take a direct, solution-focused approach — because I

know your time matters and you want to actually feel different, not just talk about feeling different.

I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Carelon Behavioral Health, and

Cigna. I offer evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 4:30pm — designed for

working adults who can't step away from their day.

I am a bilingual LMFT and LPCC in Southern California with a background in inpatient mental health, trauma care,

and private practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the music industry, which shaped how I see

people: complex, creative, and often carrying more than the world can see. I work with teens and adults navigating

anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions. I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine belief that

change is possible. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, and I serve clients throughout California via telehealth.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over nine years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s emotional challenges and difficult issues. Therapy can feel intimidating at first, but you don’t have to navigate the journey alone. I am here to support and guide you through a process that can be rewarding and beneficial towards growth, healing, and developing a deeper understanding of yourself.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, and that is something I take seriously. My professional experience working in healthcare, addiction, and homelessness has deepened my understanding of the complex social, cultural and systemic factors that impact mental health and well-being. I am an advocate for human rights and stand with those who have faced oppression, discrimination, and social injustice in a world that works against you.
