Domestic Abuse Therapists in Oak Harbor, WA

If you have struggled with trauma related to childhood abuse, dysfunction, attachment issues; and/or interpersonal violence (domestic abuse, sexual abuse) I can help! I also specialize in helping clients diagnosed with BPD unpack and heal their underlying trauma. In working with me, you will learn how to HEAL your trauma without constant use of coping skills to dull the pain. First session is free.

I work with clients to clarify their goals and then figure out what we can do to support those goals and identify anything that has been interfering with achieving those goals. In other words, I start with focusing on the future, not the past. I prioritize understanding over suggestions because I believe that once people understand what they want they will make healthy choices.

Each client has unique circumstances, challenges and goals, and I adapt my treatment to best fit the particular needs of the individual, couple or family. I am experienced in helping clients with difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and marital problems. I am currently seeing children age five and up, teens and adults. My office is located in Greenbank, WA, and I provide telehealth as well as in person therapy.

You're pretty much a survival-mode expert. You take pride in your robust ability to show up and take care of the shitty parts of life. You've managed and masked well until now. Suddenly your quirks have become magnified, old wounds re-triggered, and the shame and blame intensified; you can't hold it together much longer. Time’s passed and your ability to cope has too - only secretly.  You’ve got no one to talk to because you’ve convinced everyone you’re “fine”.  You escape to the bathroom to prevent overwhelm-induced public meltdowns. You are stuck, stagnant, and searching for yourself and where you belong...but where to start?

Eclectic treatment approach, drawing from a spectrum of techniques and schools of thought, and applying them as they seem useful to each client and his or her situation. Integrative and strengths-based.

With your willingness to do the work, I will show up and meet you wherever you are at on your journey. If you are ready to invest in yourself, feel free to reach out for a consultation.

I am a Clinical Psychotherapist,Board Certified Professional Counselor, Diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington I'm committed to grounding my work in a spirit of curiosity and collaboration. .I use an integrative/relational approach in therapy. I actively help my clients to better understand and gain clarity of their concerns in order to make necessary changes to facilitate personal growth. Psychotherapy can improve the quality and intimacy of your relationships, provide solutions to specific life problems, and significantly reduce feelings of distress.

Do you experience feelings of sadness or hopelessness? Are you having problems in your relationships, at work or with your loved ones, your partner or your children? Perhaps areas of your life no longer seem as satisfying as they once did. I believe that as we navigate the waters of life, we are constantly adjusting to the subtle and profound changes put before us. How we experience those changes, as sadness or hopelessness, loss or opportunity, with sadness or joy determines the course we will follow. How we move forward is unique and personal, yet no one needs to navigate the journey alone.
