As a licensed psychologist, I have had varied and wide experiences with assessment and counseling supporting children, adolescents, and adults 18+ with navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and complex life transitions. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward building a stable, fulfilling life and seeking help is often the hardest, yet most courageous, part of that process. I view therapy as a collaborative journey. No two people are alike, and I tailor my approach to fit your unique experiences and needs.

Navigating unexpected situations or traumas, dealing with anxiety/depression can overwhelm our sense of being present in the moment and we may feel trapped inside our feelings. Sometimes difficulties have been present since childhood, left unattended or pushed down repeatedly over the years. Some clients come to counseling seeking ways to deal with a specific trauma, domestic violence, grief, loss, anger, or other distressing emotions, leaving someone feeling isolated, stuck, and without resources. Taking the next step, asking for help inside of counseling, brings you closer to the destination of recovery.

Hello and welcome! My name is Amber, and I work under the business name "Nurturing Hope Counseling". I chose this name for my business because that is what I hope we can build working together in the counseling relationship. Life is stressful and hard at times, if not all the time, so coming together to find ways to grow and strengthen our hope is something that I find key to reaching the goals we create together in counseling. Hope is that "light at the end of the tunnel" we strive for, but sometimes lose sight of in the muck of life. But, fortunately the light penetrates the dark, so together we can foster the flame of hope again.

Everyone has a unique story to tell. Sometimes the story is full of joy and laughter and sometimes it has challenges and heartbreak. For most of us, it falls somewhere in between. By taking the time to share and understand your story, you are given the opportunity to understand how your past shapes your current existence and how past relationships inevitably impact current ones. By understanding and owning your story, you give yourself the opportunity to choose how you want to go forward. One's past does not have to define one's future.

My clients have carried the weight of early family dynamics into their current life. They may have always been the “strong one” or the dependable caretaker who learned to put others’ needs before their own. Over time, these roles and patterns have left them feeling stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from who they truly are.
They come to therapy seeking relief from repeating cycles that no longer serve them—whether in relationships, self-talk, or the boundaries they struggle to set.
Their goals are to heal old wounds, reshape their sense of identity, and create patterns rooted in self-compassion and authenticity.

The vast majority of your thoughts, reactions, and patterns are shaped by old survival wiring and deeply conditioned energy in the body. And that can feel maddening, like you’re being pulled around by forces you can’t see. But those “invisible players” formed to protect you. Whether it shows up as the same fight with your partner, chronic burnout, anxiety, or feeling stuck in your own head, when you learn how to work with these patterns instead of fighting them, everything shifts. Your body softens. Your choices get clearer. And what you experience in your relationships and your life begins to reorganize.

Taking that first step in seeking help for yourself can be so difficult. I'm so happy you are here. I work with women who need support navigating their anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and relationship dynamics, with a special focus on working with women during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. After giving birth to my daughter, I found myself in the trenches of new parenthood, with a lot of unexpected changes surrounding my relationships, sense of self, routines, and career. This monumental life transition has inspired me to seek an interest in supporting women during this time.

I specialize in men and women's issues, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression and childhood trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe place. I have an empathetic but direct approach that creates an open environment where the client can explore who they are or want to be. I believe in and practice an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, viewing my clients as whole individuals. Rather than just focusing on one specific aspect of your mental health, I take into account the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of you as an individual.

You are constantly exhausted from putting too much on your plate, yet you keep saying yes when you desperately want to say no. On the outside, you keep everything moving. On the inside, you are stuck in a cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, and people-pleasing. You second-guess your decisions, constantly look for reassurance, and feel entirely disconnected from your own feelings. You’ve conditioned yourself to believe that resting equals being lazy, so you just keep your head down and keep grinding but in reality you are running on empty.
