Adults Therapists in Silverdale, WA

Given your past, your current place in life makes sense. You've either been able to respond skillfully (mindfully and rationally) or you've been forced to respond out of fear - for the sake of survival - leading you to patterns of anxiety or depression or thoughts and behaviors that are unwelcome. My goal is to help liberate you from what is felt to be limiting, unhealthy or painful.

Whether you are experiencing an especially difficult season or just want to learn more about why you get caught in painful, repetitive cycles, together we can explore what brings you to therapy and your personal goals for healing. Current neurobiology shows us that through a healthy therapeutic relationship we can learn new ways to relate to ourselves and others, enabling us to heal from past hurts and live into our full selves. I provide a welcome space for childen, adults , and couples to explore what is hurting them and to open up a path to deeper connection, meaning, and joy.

I work with adults who struggle with relational challenges both with themselves and others which often results in symptoms of depression, anxiety, shame and more. Through both assessment and psychotherapy, I help people identify the contributing factors to why they feel the way they do so they are able to gain insight around what affects them and how they might respond differently in the future. My goal is to collaborate with patients so that they can build a repertoire of language around their emotional experience while building new relational skills so that they can be their own advocate and improve the way they feel.

Therapy is a place for yourself or your loved one to take time to build self-care, self-reflection, insight and skills to manage the symptoms they are experiencing. Many adults and youth experience symptoms of depression, anxiety or are overcoming issues of past trauma that plays in to their ability to go about life. Sometimes relationships, school or work are harder to navigate, build or maintain. Sometimes self-esteem and self-worth can interfere with our abilities to experience healthy relationships whether that is with friends, peers or family members. Coming to therapy can help you build skills to navigate these hardships.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Fearful of life's uncertainties? Struggling to find hope? Need a space to process without worrying about judgement? Taking the first step towards counseling can be scary and takes a lot of courage, but that is why I'm here to help. Therapy can be used as your time to process, gain insight, learn new skills, self-reflect, and build confidence. It is is a place where you can get support and encouragement without judgement.

Things beyond our control in life sometimes shake loose issues that we thought we were past. Coping that has worked before, no longer seems to work or is even now getting in our way in our lives. There are sometimes moments where we can't see beyond the here and now which makes us believe that things will always be the way they currently are. These are pivotal life moments that allow us the opportunity to seek a different path. This may be the time to begin to seek guidance or dig deeper into our issues in order to grow.

I work with adults and couples and have experience working with a wide range of issues. We’ll talk about what’s important for you and what goals you have for therapy, and this will guide our work together. I am interested in learning more about how individuals become able to access parts of themselves that can be open to growth and change. When I work with couples I try to understand what is preventing growth in their relationship and to facilitate an atmosphere for new growth and new ways of being with each other.

The decision to seek out therapy and to find a therapist is a courageous one, and can be a scary or daunting process. Congratulations on taking the first steps towards healing. I believe we are created for deep and profound relationship. It is in and through these relationship where our deepest satisfaction, as well as our pain, resides. You and I can work together to make your relationships fulfilling as we journey together into the intimate places of your stories, and assess the ways that you can begin to step into the strength and beauty you have to offer.

I am interested in the meanings that you make from your life experiences and the influence that these have on your perspectives of yourself, your relationships, and your future. I find that viewing problems as separate from personhood helps to lessen feelings of guilt and shame so that we can work together in a collaborative environment. My training in family systems theory informs my view of people in the context of their relationships, environment, and culture. I consider it a privilege to work with people to bring about the changes they desire in their lives and relationships.

I know sharing your struggles with someone can be difficult and scary. It takes courage to allow someone to join you in your healing journey.

Everyone needs a listening ear and/or counsel at various times in our life journey. I enjoy working with people of all ages to become healthier mentally, physically and spiritually in order to help reach their goals in life. This may mean challenging destructive thoughts or behaviors, learning new ways to think about yourself, gaining new boundaries, finding healing from past hurt, walking through present though times together - all so that you can become the thriving person that God intended you to be. I care...You are worth it!
