Amber is a therapist and mental health advocate whose work is shaped by a lifetime of lived experience, a decade of working with young people and a deep understanding of the cultural context of distress.

Creating safe connections with room for uncertainty, humour, and care is how they approach therapy. Their practice draws from somatic and narrative approaches, with an emphasis on slowing down, noticing the body, and trusting the wisdom that can emerge when we feel truly seen. “Holistic therapy, to me, isn’t about fixing you or telling you how to live. I’ll support you to tune in to yourself and offer to walk with you on your journey. I’m in awe of the courage it can take to ask for help. I’ll meet you there with reverence and care.”
