About me
Meet Amber
The Mother Wound Specialist for Executive Women
In California, Georgia, Florida, & Mississippi
Life at the top comes with unique challenges that few understand. As a high-achieving woman, you've mastered the external metrics of success, but internally, something feels off.
The relentless drive for excellence that propelled your career now manifests as perfectionism in all areas. The ability to anticipate others' needs makes you an exceptional leader, but it has left you carrying everyone's emotional burden. The adaptability that helped you navigate corporate politics now makes it difficult to know who you truly are beneath the roles you play.
It's time to remember who you are when you’re not carrying the constant pressure to succeed.
I work with executive women and leaders who've reached the pinnacle of professional success, but find themselves exhausted by the constant grind. They're done sacrificing their authentic selves at the altar of achievement. They’re ready to stop trying to prove themselves and truly embody the freedom everyone assumes comes with their position. They’re ready to redefine success on their own terms.
You are not unfamiliar with investing in yourself, but you find it easier to invest in your career…
There's always another goal to reach, another challenge to overcome. You deserve the space to address the root patterns driving your success-at-all-costs approach so you can lead from authentic power rather than trying to earn your worth.
My Specialized Approach
As your therapist, I'll guide you beyond surface-level insights to transform the patterns formed in your earliest years. Together, we'll connect your current leadership and relationship challenges to their origins in the Mother Wound.
I won't offer superficial fixes like establishing a better work-life balance or standard stress management techniques. Instead, I'll help you access and transform the patterns that formed before age 5 that drive your overachievement, perfectionism, and difficulty with vulnerability.
Through my accelerated 11-week Rewritten program, you'll experience transformation that years of traditional approaches haven't delivered. This isn't just personal healing- it's transformation that will impact your teams, your relationships, and your legacy.
My Guiding Principles
DEPTH OVER MANAGEMENT
Addressing the root causes rather than managing symptoms, creating lasting transformation in a condensed timeframe.
WHOLE-SYSTEM HEALING
Working with your nervous system, not just your thoughts, to create embodied change that doesn't require constant effort to maintain.
LEADERSHIP LIBERATION
Freeing you from inherited patterns so you can lead from authentic power rather than compensatory achievement.
