Therapists in North End, Tacoma, WA
I work with adults and teens through a solution-focused and strength-based lens. My work focuses on anxiety, panic, depression, and life transitions. Transitions and change are inevitable as we navigate our lives, and they can sometimes cause significant inner turmoil or conflict, bringing up unresolved issues from our past. Transition work can include making difficult decisions, processing grief through anticipated or unanticipated changes or loss, and taking steps to find your new normal or pursue your own best life.

I have been working with families and individual adults for 25+ years. What I have learned in that time is that we all have rough patches in life. Feeling anxious, uncertain and depressed, like we don't know how to solve the problems we are facing, is something that happens to many people. That is why having a safe place for sharing feelings is so important. In sessions, we focus on your strengths and achievements to build a partnership of healing. And we look at your thoughts that might be getting in the way. We help you use the strengths you already have as I offer new skills that have proven helpful for others.

Many of us have known heartache that doesn't seem to end, feeling down without always knowing why, or persistent worry. It's my life's passion to join people who have struggled with these experiences and help them find clarity, fulfillment, and joy. I'm excited to work with clients as they dig deeper into understanding the "why" behind their choices and motivations, so they can ultimately feel alive and vibrant no matter what they face.

The work we do is collaborative; it requires us both to be present and fully committed to your journey. My clients are honest about their strengths, virtues, successes and growth areas; curious about their emotions, triggers, and patterns; and committed to designing their lives in a meaningful way. Depending on their inner resources, needs, and concerns, I utilize a tailored, strengths-based approach to promote useful life goals through insight and action. This can be achieved by integrating a variety of modalities, both evidence and non-evidence based; and drawing from my personal, professional and spiritual background.

I work well with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of ADHD, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and loss of identity-particularly in response to major life transitions. If life feels like it is moving too fast and that you are paralyzed, my somatic orientation can support you in identifying momentum and direction. My deepest desire is to support you as you explore your mind-body connection which I believe can compassionately guide you towards the agency that is your birthright.

Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Overwhelmed, unsettled or just plain stuck? Maybe you catch yourself wondering if you’re doing enough, why life feels so heavy, or when you’ll finally feel like yourself again.

Are you carrying pain you don’t talk about—unanswered questions, emotional wounds, or unspoken grief? I work with individuals who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or spiritually disconnected inside. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, or relationship challenges, and are seeking meaningful, spiritually aligned support. With 20 years of experience, I create space where you can breathe, reflect, and heal. Whether you’re facing emotional distress, life transitions, or faith struggles, I’m here to walk with you toward restoration.

We all need compassionate connection to grow and heal, and that is especially important in therapy. I provide a connection that is warm, yet intellectual, making sure to challenge your mind and heart for growth, support, and ultimately deeper relationships. I'm a good match for recovering perfectionists, people with ADHD/autism, anxiety concerns, depression, eating disorders (including a specialization in binge eating), and those wanting support around chronic health conditions. I'm a good fit for neurodivergent folks wanting a supportive therapy environment. LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Are you feeling down, worried, exhausted, and unmotivated? Overwhelm and burn out lead to a sense of being stuck in life, and it is no wonder. Life is busy, complicated, messy. We’re inundated with stimuli and being pulled in many different directions. It is easy to lose your footing underneath the weight of stress and responsibility. You can reclaim control over your emotions and thoughts to change patterns that no longer serve you. You can reclaim YOU, and I would like to help.

It's the most socially appropriate time in modern history to be a bit of a mess, but being intelligent can actually make it harder to adapt to new things outside your frames of reference. Being empathetic can cause you to feel like you're constantly letting others & yourself down. Being unique or outside norms can leave you feeling lonely & questioning yourself. If you tend to hold & hide everything inside, or if you're someone who can't help but dump everything out all over the place, you may be experiencing miscommunication & judgment from others on top of everything.

Hi there - I'm Kelsey (she/her). I’m a therapist for the dark and honest. Those of us who are inexplicably drawn to pain, who wonder if anyone can possibly understand what you’ve been through, let alone help you heal. If you are curious and honest, I promise - I can work with that. Specifically, I specialize in the treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). It can be unsettling to experience dramatic emotional shifts, blackouts and memory difficulties, ongoing internal dialogue, and vivid flashbacks. It’s exhausting to feel like you have to hide your inner emotional life from those around you, for fear of being invalidated.

Over the years of my practice, I've observed how many men can face unique crises of meaning and purpose in our society with little support. I am passionate about making space for men to discover their values, assess what is getting in the way, establish goals, and get them closer to who and what is important to them every week.
