I have spoken to other therapists but by far she is the best one! She can relate to my situation and understands what I am going through and offers the best feedback and resources that I can connect with. She’s uplifting, knowledgeable and supportive in every way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling.
More about Amber
- 5 years' experience

- LMFT
I am licensed in California with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion because I know what inconsideration and disrespect feel like. I walk with all religions as a spiritual person but admittedly have a primarily Christian background. I want to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to go.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
