Amber came to me two years after her divorce was finalized.

Two years of keeping it together. Two years of rebuilding, new apartment, new routines, new version of herself she was still figuring out. By most external measures, she was doing well. She had her kids on a schedule, a job she liked, friends who showed up for her.
