Therapists in Gig Harbor, WA
As we adapt to the ‘new normal,’ many of us are experiencing increased feelings of anxiety, grief, and loneliness. You're not alone if the details of recent events (e.g., climate change, COVID, and socio-political unrest) have you feeling lost and overwhelmed. You're also not alone if it's more challenging to invest energy towards your self care and personal growth - or if it has become more difficult to focus and complete tasks at school and/or work as a result. Restoring a sense of balance in your life and reconnecting with your best self is within reach - and you'll soon learn to navigate our 'new normal' with a renewed purpose.

We all face life's challenges and can benefit from extra support from time to time. There might have been a recent change in your life that has caused extra stress, a previous experience or trauma continues to bother you, or maybe life is just overwhelming. These struggles can cause a variety of feelings like anxiety, anger, loneliness and numbness. Having a safe place to help process your thoughts and emotions and to learn new skills is important for healing and growth. My passion is to empower people to find their voice, to recognize their needs and wants are important, and to collaborate with them towards the life they deserve.

What’s your story? Is it a tragic tale of grief and loss? Or is your story a fast paced, anxiety ridden adventure repeatedly landing you in a pit of despair? I understand how difficult it can be to get control of the story of your life.

Seeking counseling can be one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. It is also one of the bravest decisions. Day to day life is stressful, and at times, life tosses us a curveball. My goal is to help you identify your strengths, and help you navigate through the stresses and transitions that many people struggle with. You are not alone, and I am so glad that you are here. Some of my areas of focus are on addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family dynamics as well as parent coaching.

Through my own emotional healing journey, I have become so passionate about walking with others through their pain and helping them achieve health and wholeness. If you are struggling I want you to know that you are not alone, and I would love to be the one who gets to listen to you, support you, and help you process whatever you are dealing with in your everyday life.

My style of therapy is warm, accepting, and compassionate. After having trained extensively and been witness to countless stories of transformation, I can say with certainty that healing is absolutely possible. This is an invitation to gain freedom from painful experiences, beliefs, and thought patterns that keep you from living the life you want, and leave you feeling hopeless or weary.

Are you the person everyone depends on to have it together? The friend they call when they need support, the manager they trust to complete the important projects, the daughter they lean on the most. You’re kind, empathetic, and extremely capable, yet somehow these traits are used against you. You’re constantly thinking of you’re to-do list, but there’s never enough time. You pride yourself on giving 100% but it's impossible to do anymore. And you wish you had someone YOU could lean on. I support women as they learn to prioritize themselves, build their self-confidence, and start living lives that actually fill them with joy.

Are you at your wit's end trying to communicate with your ex. Are your kids constantly exposed to conflict between the two of you. Co-parenting after divorce can be difficult.
