Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Silverdale, WA
As a therapist, I help clients navigate the process of change in a caring and supportive environment. I believe counseling is an opportunity for healing and growth, for ourselves and our relationships. Throughout our lives we all have experiences that shape who we are and how we view the world. These experiences impact us in both positive and negative ways. Understanding how the past informs our present can empower us to make changes towards a more authentic future.

At this point in your life, you may feel mentally overextended—carrying too many threads at once while also feeling overstimulated or depleted by the pace of daily life. You might know what you want to change, yet feel unsure where to begin, especially when urgency and exhaustion coexist. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of the noise, and find steadier footing without pressure to push through or perform.
For many neurodivergent people, life feels like a constant pull between needing something solid to hold onto and needing space to move with change. Tether & Tide Counseling is built around holding both.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it's also incredibly brave. I understand that opening up takes time, and I'm here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can move at your own pace.

Relationships can be challenging at times, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Without the right support, it’s easy to feel stuck, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from yourself and the people who matter most. I create a welcoming, grounded space where clients can untangle their struggles, build inner strength, and foster more authentic, meaningful relationships with themselves and their loved ones.

I work with clients ranging from teens to adulthood, military to civilian. My trained experience comes with a background working in the substance use disorder field and extensive training in trauma and exploitation. I have worked with local Indigenous communities and understand the magnitude and impacts of generational trauma. Recently, I worked with high- risk teens in an educational setting.

Every client’s story is unique, and so is their path to healing. It is not about imposing a rigid framework but about meeting clients where they are. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions. My role is to provide guidance, and to support their goals. The therapy process is tailored to the client’s unique needs and goals. Therapy is not about achieving perfection but about growing, learning, and finding peace in the process. Walking this path together, my hope is that clients will discover their inner strength, deepen their self-awareness, and unlock their potential for a life that feels meaningful.

I’m a chaos gremlin in human form who actually cares a lot. I use humor, real talk, and evidence-based treatments to help people meet their goals — whether that’s managing anxiety, navigating relationships, or figuring out how to feel like themselves again. My approach is authentic, direct, and low-pressure: I’ll be honest with you and hold space for your mess without making you perform. If you want a therapist who’s part practical brain-nerd, part human with a sense of humor, we might be a good fit.

Therapy is a time of challenge and change, sorrow and celebration. I strive to provide a climate in which my clients can truly explore themselves and their world. Regardless of technique, I believe that the greatest strength in treatment lies in a meaningful relationship between client and therapist.

I believe counseling works best when it is seen as both an intervention and a source of support during times of transformation or difficulty. As a counselor, it is my job to help create an environment where we can work together on your path toward healing and meaningful change. My counseling approach is integrative, drawing from systems theory, strength-based practices, and person-centered techniques.

Thank you for visiting my page. I offer 30 years of experience working with marginalized populations in various capacities. My own life experiences have prepared me to walk with others through challenging life obstacles. Simple strategies that I find helpful are creating a self-care plan and making more connections through this journey. It is in these connections we gain resilience and start the healing process. I have learned over time that when I cannot change life’s circumstances then I might need to change my approach or perspective. Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions about me.
