Amber began working with children and teenagers in high school, dedicating summers to being a camp counselor with inner city children, Christian youth camps and adolescent girl camps.  After high school, Amber continued her work with children as a tutor and substitute teacher in the De Soto School District.  During her graduate program in Counseling, Amber completed an internship at SAFEHOME, providing therapy to victims of domestic violence.  Shortly after completing her graduate degree in 2008, Amber was hired by SAFEHOME as a Clinical Therapist providing individual, family and group therapy for adults and children. Amber then became the Clinical Director at SAFEHOME, overseeing the agency’s counseling program, which serves over 1,000 clients a year.  In 2015, Amber became the co-owner of Heartland Play Therapy Institute, Inc. and began teaching Theories of Play Therapy as well as Grief and Adult Inner Child workshop.  Amber currently is in private practice, serving individuals in Overland Park, Kansas.  Throughout this time Amber has provided Clinical Supervision for individuals pursuing clinical licensure.
