Therapists in Bainbridge Island, WA

I enjoy helping others by empowering and supporting them through their journey in life. It is inspirational to see how resilient and strong humans can be when faced with adversity.

Most of my experience is with depression, anxiety, substance usage, family relationship, and trauma.

One of the hardest steps one can take is to seek out help and you’ve done just that. Maybe things have always come easily for you but now you’re feeling stuck?

Chances are you feel like your relationship lacks trust and intimacy. You might feel like the arguments you have with your loved one always end up in "band-aid" type solutions, and that your partner doesn't quite understand what you're needing or feeling when you express what's important to you. But you're ready to make a change. You're ready to feel like your partner is on your team and would love to build an even deeper connection with him/her/them. You don't want your past to define your future and want to break from old patterns to reach new levels in your relationship where it feels more real and honest.
