About Me

---

Hi, I'm Dr. Amber Nicole Roper Garcia. I am a singer-songwriter, music & video producer, and speaker. Writing my first song at the age of 7, I began collecting full notebooks over the years of songs I had written. By age 11, I taught myself photography and videography so that I could implement those passions into my calling as an overall artist. 

That momentum slowed down when I was misdiagnosed at age 14 with the rare disease, Dysautonomia, that almost took my life. Spending my teenage years in and out of the hospital, I had a hard time keeping up in school. Eventually, I was forced to drop out of public school and was homeschooled. Teaching myself how to produce music from the hospital bed, I began creating and recording my own music. I released my first album at just 17 years old and spent my time outside the hospital traveling and ministering to middle and high school girls. By 23, I had completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Ministries & Arts with a minor in Biblical Studies (Point University and Highlands College), as well as a Master’s Degree in Human Services Counseling with a specialization in Crisis Response and Trauma (Liberty University).

Now, as a Doctor of Education in Traumatology, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between the science of the brain and the truth of Scripture—equipping others to heal holistically in both mind and spirit.

After surviving a morning run that included a random attack and sexual assault by a stranger, I was diagnosed with severe PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The very next year, I experienced another traumatic and life-changing event. With the help of these tragedies, I discovered the bigger purpose for my life—helping women who have survived trauma to find hope again.
