Amber believes it is imperative for each individual to receive culturally competent and informed services to ensure that appropriate treatment and interventions are provided to address their individual needs.

When she’s not supporting families, Amber enjoys diving into TV series and getting lost in a good movie. She also loves lacing up her skates for a spin — you might catch her gliding around a local rink or cruising an outdoor trail on the weekend. When adventure calls, Amber explores new restaurants and activities around the city and travels whenever she gets the chance. Above all, she treasures quality time with family, friends, and loved ones, often sharing plenty of laughter and meaningful moments together. Amber is also the proud new cat mom to Picasso, her playful and quirky feline sidekick!
