About Amberly

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed?

Burned out? Exhausted, but can’t sleep?

Maybe you distract yourself to get through your work day or school day by daydreaming of a life far from your own. But when reality hits, you freeze. Overwhelmed by the weight of it all, you don’t know what to do next.

Everything has started to spin out of control, and to top it all off, it feels like there’s no one you can turn to who really understands.

You’re Not Alone

I know that it can be hard to reach out for help– but none of us are meant to go through this life alone. 

An environment with a compassionate and trained confidant, makes all the difference.

Healing Is Possible

Sometimes our struggles grow over time, and sometimes they strike in an instant.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, behavioral issues or relationship concerns, I will work with you or your child around the issues that are pertinent and help you achieve your goals.

Empower Yourself By Building the Skills You Need

I use trauma informed treatments and other approaches such as CBT and DBT that research has shown help most people, to explore aspects of your internal and external environment. My approach is centered around cultivating a meaningful connection with my clients & I strive to create a space led by empathy, kindness, and authenticity. 

Together, we will build skills so that you can better strengthen your sense of self, and set goals to create the life you’ve been waiting for.

More About Me 


Growing up in Hawai’i created a curiosity in cultural diversity and human social relationships and led to degrees in Sociology and Women’s Studies from the University of California, Riverside and a Masters degree in Social Work from Simmons University.

My fascination with people has granted unique experiences working with families, youth and young adults in foster care and juvenile justice systems, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and mental health advocacy and awareness.

When I’m not working, I can be found near the ocean, crafting, practicing yoga, or spending quality time with my close friends and family.

The following is a list areas I specialize in:

  • Children & Teens
  • Sand-tray & Play Therapy
  • Parenting & Co-Parenting Support
  • Trauma
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Anxiety and Depression
