Video Game Addiction Therapists in Bainbridge Island, WA

I specialize in working with individuals grappling with shame, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and family conflict. I know the challenges that come with being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences without fear of judgment. It's important to recognize that the journey toward self-acceptance and understanding can be complex and deeply personal. Whether you're struggling with coming out, navigating relationships, or reconciling your identity with societal expectations, I am here to offer guidance and support.

Accepting New Clients. How do you handle stress, sadness, anxiety, or change? Do you need support and have a hard time asking for help? As men, we often isolate, hide our emotions, disappear into gaming, work, social media, substances, have destructive relationships, and often while putting others before ourselves. Holding in these stresses and trying to "fix it" alone can weigh on your mind, and it can come out in ways that make your life difficult and unenjoyable. I can provide a space where we focus on you, and we ask where are things challenging for you, and how can things be better?

I strongly believe that everyone can access their own wisdom and knowledge, even if negative emotions like stress and anxiety make it difficult. We all need to develop skills to improve our lives. Let's collaborate to enhance self-care in different aspects of your daily routine, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep. My aim is to teach you mindful techniques that can diminish the need for unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as stress eating or engaging in activities that cause you to feel ashamed.

What if you could make your life the way you want it to be? Would you like to overcome loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, fear of failure, hopelessness, relationship difficulties? Many times our discontent in the present is tethered to traumatic events in our past. If you suffered trauma as a child or as an adult, chances are you have adapted and survived but you may not be currently thriving. The deeper the wounding, the more profound the negative impacts can be in your present life. The miracle of therapy offers you the power to rewrite your past and reprogram your future.

I graduated from the Graduate School of Education of the University of Pennsylvania with a master’s in counseling and mental health services (M.S.Ed.) and a master’s in professional counseling (M.Phil.Ed.). I have experience working with adults with diverse backgrounds, providing bilingual services (i.e., Mandarin and English), addressing a wide range of client problems, and managing different platforms for conducting therapy.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

We are committed to restoring you to your best. Using an individualized, client-centered approach, we work with you to identify strengths and deepen relationships for sustainable and holistic change. At Cascades Wellness Center, our team offers extensive experience as well as a holistic approach to mental health and wellness. Through awareness, compassion, and acceptance, we work with our clients to return you to the life you want and deserve. For us, therapy is not about fixing what is wrong, but about recapturing your capacities to increase your overall health, well-being, and sense of connection in the world.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT/PE, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness-based therapies amongst other evidence-based psychotherapies.
