Hi, I’m Amber! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Maryland and Florida. While completing my degree at Johns Hopkins University, I found my passion for helping people especially neurodivergent minds like my own. As soon as I could, I developed more skills and became a clinical specialist for Autism (ASDCS) and ADHD (ADHD-CCSP) in addition to my niche of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and child centered play therapy. I am a strong believer in providing empathetic & individualized care in a structured manner and that greatly aligns to my role here at Prosper Health.

A few years ago I was finally diagnosed with a neurodivergent diagnosis and it opened my eyes to how many people suffer with being misdiagnosed like myself. I dived into more training and sought out ways to aid with bridging the gap of under-diagnosed persons as well as misdiagnosed ones. Due to the personal perspective as well as the additional professional training, I have worked diligently to provide neuro-affirming care for years even prior to my work here at Prosper Health and I strive to continue for the rest of my counseling career.

Having a safe space to be yourself and to take off the mask we wear into society is crucial for healing at our core and I am thankful to be a part of so many therapeutic journeys. My approaches vary client-to-client; however, I do practice utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy often due to its structured nature in sessions. I also love to challenge different perspectives and aid with overall understanding of whatever is being discussed as communication is key to therapy but so is comprehension. Therefore, in my sessions, I always encourage open & honest communication as well as questions so that we can better understand ourselves and our needs/wants/goals.
