About Me
Hi, I’m Amber.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in McLean, Virginia, licensed in Maryland and Virginia. I work with adolescents and adults, offering individual and family therapy and parent support in person and via telehealth.
With experience in outpatient and school settings, I support clients navigating emotional, academic, and relational challenges, and collaborate closely with families and care teams.

Care That Fits You.
Therapy is most effective when it’s thoughtfully adapted to you. I integrate evidence-based methods, a holistic lens, and genuine collaboration to support meaningful change.
Evidence-Informed
I integrate evidence-based approaches in a way that’s tailored to you and your needs.
Approaches
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Humanistic Therapy
Person-Centered
We work together to shape the pace and direction, with reflection, guidance, and space for your own insight built in.
Holistic Framework
Difficult experiences rarely have a single cause. I look at the whole picture — your history, relationships, physical experience, and context — to understand what’s driving what you’re experiencing.
Collaborative Care
When it serves you, I coordinate with teachers, psychiatrists, and other providers on your care team — so the people in your corner are working together.
