ADHD Therapists in Port Townsend, WA

My personal philosophy of human nature is optimistic, hopeful, and empowering. Human beings are the world's most valuable resource. We can be powerful agents for good and for self-improvement if we choose to engage in the work necessary to realize our potential. My ability to perceive the thoughts and feelings of my clients assists me in helping clients to make significant, positive changes in their lives.

I strive to provide a safe environment where individuals can reconnect to self, and the expertise to remove roadblocks to success and happiness. If you need emotional healing, to develop life skills, or (re-)discover the joy of living, I believe I can help. I have 40 years of experience working with children and families, often where abuse has been involved, and have helped hundreds of individuals recover from a variety of traumas in their lives, from abuse to car accidents to the death of a loved one. I believe in the power of the individual always to grow toward health.

Practice Currently FULL. During my career, I've worked with many diverse individuals, couples, and families to find healing and restoration from a variety of complicated and often very messy problems. I offer a unique measure of acceptance, support, and assistance for my clients. Besides my experience and training, I've personally struggled with difficult life issues myself. I know healing is possible and I am committed to helping you find it. If you choose to work with me, together we'll discover the root causes of your predicament and strive toward making changes that will ultimately lead to greater happiness and satisfaction.

Hello, and welcome! Life can be very challenging and overwhelming at times. I know and I get it. For some, we tend to try to solve our problems on our own and reaching out for help is out of the question; sometimes it works. If you haven't been able to solve it on your own, I would love to meet you, and together we can create ways towards hope and begin the healing process. I believe that therapy can assist you by helping to identify what has worked in the past, what you already have within that you can draw upon in helping to obtain what you are hoping for in life.

I like working with all age groups, from young children to adults, because people are precious and deserve support through life issues. I want clients to feel comfortable as they work to understand and achieve their mental health and life goals.

You are enough, and I am here to support you. I understand what it is like to feel intense anxiety and deep depression. I can also relate to being a teenager who feels stressed, alone, different, and like no one gets it. If you are a survivor of trauma, I see you. I am here to listen compassionately and offer you powerful practices that cultivate calm, safety, and healing. As a family therapist, I also enjoy working alongside parents and teens to help strengthen relationships, rebuild trust, and learn how to communicate in a way that leaves each person feeling heard and respected. It is then that the path forward can begin.
