Elders (65+) Therapists in Gig Harbor, WA

If you are struggling with your mental health, I want you to know you are not alone and it can get better. Reaching out for help isn't always easy, but it will be worth it. Video therapy sessions with me are a safe, supportive and non-judgmental experience. My goal is to help you understand yourself and your situation and to provide you with practical tools to help you manage life in a healthier way.

Life can be very confusing at times for all of us. I see Children (10 and up), adolescents, individuals and couples specializing in marital relationships, ADHD, Eating Disorders, depression/anxiety and Woman Issues. I am a Lifespan Integration Therapist for accidents and traumatic events. My office is warm and spacious as we journey together thru the healing process. I use a narrative, solution focused and CBT along with a bit of humor over life's bumps. You are welcomed to join me for your heart, soul and body health!

Life can be challenging and stressful. Therapy is a place where you safely address and process through your internal responses to life’s obstacles. If you feel out of touch with your authentic self, problems can seem insurmountable. I work with individuals to explore and develop insight around your own thought patterns and responses to life events. We work together to overcome those things that are stopping you from having a full life and bring you into alignment with your authentic self.

If you are tired of struggling, I can help you find a way through. If the wellbeing you know is possible continues to feel out of reach, I can walk with you and support you as we work together to find the root. If your relationship seems to take more energy and happiness than it gives, I can help you, or both of you, find and heal the places in your story that keep showing up in painful ways. My story is also one of loss, pain, and healing. I believe in the work I do and I am not only a therapist for others, but also in therapy myself, on my own healing journey. I believe in being poured into in order to pour well into others.

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.

We all can be vulnerable to the twists, turns, and pressures that life presents to us. I provide a safe, respectful, and comfortable space for you to learn how to better cope with life has brought you. I believe that you bring strengths, and resources with you that can help you to reach your goals in therapy and my approaches are matched to you as a unique individual. I have over 16 years experience working with adults, children, and families in a variety of areas such as treating trauma and abuse, dissociative disorders, parenting, divorce/separation, anxiety, and mood disorders.

Oftentimes we seek out therapy because components in our lives are causing us significant distress and disrupt our ability to function effectively and feel happiness. I ask clients who come into therapy to bring with them an open attitude, a willingness to explore their life perspectives and their relationships with others, that they may experience true change and healing. This journey towards emotional maturity often involves a certain amount of discomfort and pain before the healing and change can occur. I provide a warm, trusting, safe space to assist people so that they may continue that journey.

*Currently accepting new clients* I work with adults, teens and children through a solution focused lens to help them on their life journey. I believe that across time we continually grow and change and that sometimes along the way it can help to have some guidance and support.

You can begin to heal your pain, and gain tools to navigate life's challenges. I provide therapy for individuals, families, & couples.

Are you a new parent? Struggling with the transition? Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Feeling down or like your expectations don't match what is right in front of you? Have you struggled with infertility? Planning to begin a family hasn't looked like you imagined and it is creating strain on your relationship and your emotions are BIG? Have you had a miscarriage or stillbirth and no one knows how to talk with you about it? Or really hears you when you say you're hurting and scared to try again? Then you have come to the right place. Find support, compassion and healing. Find yourself again and the encouragement to look to the future

We all encounter situations that feel overwhelming and test our coping abilities. I see therapy as a collaborative process that will help you navigate the challenges and transitions that life presents. I offer a safe, supportive environment to talk about issues that can be difficult to discuss elsewhere. Together we will explore how certain thoughts, behavior patterns, and past experiences might be contributing to your difficulties. We will identify your strengths and figure out effective coping strategies to create positive changes in your life. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and couples.

I help people that are feeling anxious and depressed, feel less anxious and depressed. Your mind replays the past and dwells on the future, sending you into panic or making it hard to get out of bed. Your stomach is queasy, your neck is tight, and you feel like you can never quite relax. It feels like others don't see or trust the challenges you face and the effort you actually put in to just get by. You feel uncomfortable in your own skin and unaccepted wherever you go and crave a place that you can truly be yourself, un-judged and appreciated for your unique ideas and qualities. We are going to figure this out together.

Life is difficult (M. Scott Peck). I remember reading that in his book and thought yes, it is! And sometimes we don’t have the tools to manage the difficult times or move through and beyond them. That is why I became a therapist because life is difficult and sometimes, we need support and help to move forward. My goal is to establish a safe environment where adults and children can take the time to process difficulties in life. Through this process you will find your strengths, develop new ways of coping and discover new insights. I enjoy working with both children and adults in a variety of areas, including childhood and adult tra

I believe the purpose of therapy is to support people in gaining personal insight, understanding of others perspectives, and integrating this information while planning new and improved responses and courses of action. As we are able to discover and express our hidden emotions and create new relational responses we then have the potential to change a distressed and rigid relationship into a more secure, safe and satisfying one. My commitment is to devote my full attention to you during our time together and to work with you as supportively, competently, responsibly, and professionally as I am able.

Life and relationships can be happy, sad, challenging, stressful, heartbreaking and anxiety provoking at different times in our lives. As a therapist, I offer my clients a therapeutic environment that is safe, kind, welcoming and free of judgment. I believe therapy can not only help us as individuals to better understand ourselves, but also our partners, family members and other significant people in our lives. I have experience working with individuals and couples who are struggling with relational issues such as infidelity, intimacy, communication problems, and professionals who struggle to balance their work and personal lives.

Life can be hard; therapy can help you remove roadblocks & work toward a happier you. Many people have answers to their challenges within them but are blocked by overwhelm & self-doubt. For many, our childhood wasn't perfect. Examining that foundation, deciding what parts of it you want to continue carrying, and what parts you want to let go of can help you toward a calmer and happier life. If you're feeling stressed out or stuck, let's find out what's at the root of those emotions so you can get to a happier & healthier life.

I am great at helping people work through stress, depression, conflict in relationships and in dealing with issues like addiction, identity, trauma, and anger management.
