Restore Hope & Healing
Hi, I'm Haley. I provide relational, trauma-informed support to individuals and couples seeking to create more vibrant, dynamic, and resilient relationships and lives. It would be a privilege to join you in this journey as you restore hope and healing. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Specialties:
Couples & Relationships
Using principles from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I assist couples with exploring and understanding the role of emotions and emotion regulation strategies in the context of individual and relational functioning. EFT is an experiential process that draws upon principles from attachment science and other humanistic approaches. Couples attend therapy for a variety of reasons, with goals including: Increased understanding of partner differences, increased ability to navigate areas of conflict, increased ability to engage in repair conversations regarding attachment wounds, increased ability to address underlying attachment needs and fears, and increased feelings of security and trust within the relationship. *Note: New Embers Counseling does not accept insurance for couples or marriage counseling.
Individual Trauma Processing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured treatment that uses bilateral stimulation to activate the brain's natural healing mechanisms (EMDR International Association, 2023). EMDR goals can include a reduction in vividness and intensity of unresolved traumatic memories, a reduction in subjective feelings of distress associated with traumatic memories, and adaptive changes in thinking.
I am licensed to practice in WA and ID, and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).
