Psychobiological Approach Couple Therapy in Port Hadlock, WA

You are a problem-solver, capable of solving complex situations, yet, some emotions and thoughts get the best of you. You identify as creative, an artist, maybe a writer who relies on intuition and vision, yet, sometimes, get lost in circles, dead ends, or worse - invisible patterns. You are a caregiver, a healer, a confidant, a mother, a father, a best friend who finds it challenging to consider your own wants and needs. You are in-between worlds, cross-cultural, inter-disciplinary, a designer, a connector sometimes pulled in different directions, conflicted or doubting yourself and your relationships.

Being present with ourselves and our lives is the most potent force for change. I am a climate-aware therapist working with individuals, couples, and families experiencing loss, grief, confusion, and conflict. My work focuses on grief, death & dying, trauma integration, and climate distress. Increasing our capacity to tolerate our pain and listen to what we really need dramatically increases our well-being. What would it be like to be more present in your life? Our work together can help you move towards a more fulfilling experience of life, even when loss and grief are present.

Currently Taking New Clients. I understand you are looking for help and this is the first step to healing your life. I specialize in working with couples, as well as adult individuals struggling with addiction. I see you as a whole person and am mindful of the pain you have experienced and get there are many ways to recovery. In my work with substance abuse I understand the feelings that come along with the burden of addiction. Will I be accepted; am I enough to be loved; do I belong? These are normal questions for most people suffering and questioning addiction. I create safety to help explore these questions.

Foundational to my practice is the idea that we all deserve to be seen, understood, felt, and cared for. I am passionate about working with individual adults experiencing challenges with stressful life transitions, relationship concerns, identity development, trauma, and struggles with anxiety and depression. I use a biopsychosocial approach to attend to mind, body, and heart to create greater resilience and a deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, confused, alone or misunderstood? Are you having difficulty communicating within your relationships, going through a big life transition or feeling pain and constriction from past traumas? During these times it is helpful to have someone listen and support you without judgement within a safe place. Everyone has a personal history that makes them unique with both strengths and vulnerabilities. I know the courage and perseverance it takes to face and feel the pain as well as embrace your gifts, strengths and light.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

The clients I see often prefer a non pharmaceutical route to help with things like depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, or other brain/mental health issues. Others seek help with transitions in their lives or relationship issues at home or work. All clients can benefit from my integrative holistic approach that melds counseling, wellbeing and brain health coaching. My clients ultimate goal is to feel and function at their best to enjoy a future with increased vitality, health and wellbeing and safe satisfying relationships. My methods are often effective for stress management and improving communication/ relationship skills.

Therapy sessions with NIO Counseling are a non-judgmental environment and the client is not just another client. The individual or family blazes the trail and we are in the accompanying seat in reaching the goal of therapy, through clinical guidance that encourages all to thrive during and after therapy sessions. There is a focus on family systems theory and the unit's complex interaction as the basis for treatment. Anxiety, stress, fear, isolation, being overwhelmed, being out of control in everyday circumstances, and the feeling of loss or the unknown can be unbundled for a more productive and fulfilling living. Hope is here!

Accepting TWO new couples counseling clients / Individual client caseload is full. You and your partner are regularly exhausted by eachothers emotions. You feel as though you have no space in your life. You are so hesitant of "going there" because you're afraid you'll get swallowed up in the process. You are drained from carrying so much for so long. You’re not even quite sure who you are and you don’t know where to start. Despite all of this there is a faint voice inside you that hopes for something more - from yourself and from your relationship.

My work is influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who speak compassionately to a profound and uniquely human dilemma—the quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (of depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) are more than painful indicators of psychopathology.

I am passionate about helping clients heal and transform through an eco-art therapeutic approach that combines art, nature and play. Working and playing in a natural setting, I offer a variety of mediums to encourage growth, both indoors and out. This allows an emergent and imaginative approach to therapy that adapts to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple, family and group. Moving from sand tray to clay, collage to art journaling, clients can walk outdoors on paths that meander past waterways and through old growth forests. With labyrinths, meditative walks and an enormous sound chamber, I offer many creative outlets.
