Attachment-based Therapists in University Place, WA

My trauma-informed approach invites a space of safety, warmth, and authenticity where we navigate issues and process emotions together to enhance resiliency, trust, and self-worth. It is my hope that therapy and our therapeutic alliance will provide you with opportunity for healing, empowerment, and re-authoring of life stories for positive change and growth toward personal fulfillment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families seeking to process through various struggles and difficulties using evidence-based treatments.

Many of my clients are successful and thriving in ways that people may see on the outside, but their inner experiences of themselves and how they are in relation to the world and the people in their lives are often one of disconnection and dissatisfaction. Many of these feelings come from a variety of sources such as: anxiety, depression, a disordered relationship with food or one's body, and an estranged experience with oneself. People who want to develop a sense of self-awareness and understanding often find working with me beneficial.

My work involves helping people reconnect with their authentic selves. Years of prioritizing the needs of others is exhausting and can leave us unsure about what we want, need and even feel. Understanding the origins of these patterns is the first step toward releasing yourself and building the life you want.

I believe that life transitions are a time to celebrate life and an opportunity for great growth. As director of the BLOOM Maternal and Infant Wellness Program, I specialize in supporting women and their families through the transition to parenthood. A unique and often challenging time punctuated with endings and new beginnings. Women and their families need and deserve to be nurtured and supported during this time. My areas of expertise include: The prevention and treatment of pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, promoting healthy parent-child attachment, as well as strengthening and “baby-proofing” relationships.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and have worked in the eating disorder treatment world since 2018. Prior to my clinical work, I was engaged in eating disorder education and advocacy, and began my own work on unpacking and exploring weight stigma and anti-fat bias.

This being human thing is tricky, isn’t it? At times we all feel a bit lost and alone, overwhelmed, regretful of the past, or fearful of the future. Perhaps you see yourself trying to do everything “right” in order to get to where you want to be or think you’re supposed to be, only to find yourself not making much progress or getting stuck in the same place? Or maybe at this point you’re not even sure anymore what the “right” thing is or where to go from here? I too have experienced this place of frustration. Change is possible and can bring more clarity, healing, connection, strength, calm, and joy!

As a therapist in training, I am honored to be able to sit with clients who are struggling with understanding and expressing their emotions and needs within relationships. I aim to help clients feel worthy and find hope for healing.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

Entering into therapy is a courageous decision to seek life in response to whatever concerns and challenges have gotten your attention. Everyone bears experiences that have had an alienating and destructive impact on their relationship with others and with themselves. Without the support of another to work through these experiences and use them for our growth, these destructive effects often compound over time as we cope and try to heal on our own. Counseling is an opportunity to receive the kind of support that can enable you to find not only relief, but the goodness you have struggled to access in yourself and your relationships.

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.

My ideal client is looking for support in navigating challenges with relationships and meeting their goals. This may be showing up as anxiety, depression, unmanageable stress or anger. They are looking for someone who can help them work through the chain of events that has led them to where they are, and better understand what parts of that they want to bring forward into their future and what they would rather leave behind.

I work with individuals struggling in relationships with others and within themselves. Some are processing transitions such as ending a partnership, being a parent, revisiting a traumatic childhood, misusing substances, or grieving past decisions. Having heavier seasons in life is a part of being human. I want to normalize and support these challenging transitions.
