Licensed Private Counselor, MS, MEd., LPC, EMDR Trained

I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas. I believe all experiences in our lives whether good or bad can help a person grow by equipping themselves with knowledge and skills to better understand who they are as a person. All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.

You didn't come here because everything is fine. You came because something has become too heavy to carry alone — anxiety that won't switch off, panic that arrives without warning, a low mood that's drained the color out of everything, or trauma you've been holding far longer than anyone should have to. For many of the people I work with, a chronic health condition sits underneath it all, adding exhaustion and grief to days that were already hard.

I'm Amber, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adults who look capable on the outside while quietly white-knuckling their way through the week. Together we slow things down, name what's actually happening, and build real, evidence-based tools you can use between sessions — not just talk about in them. You deserve a space grounded in genuine care, honesty, and support that actually moves the needle on how you feel.

These experiences have shaped my commitment to meeting each client with empathy, respect, and support tailored to their unique needs.

I am a Army veteran and love helping people. I started this journey with my own mental health. I soon realized the power of this process. I did not realize I was always a counselor. It started as a Army Medic helping soldiers in Iraq and now I help everyone.
