Therapists in Anacortes, WA

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.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults, spanning ages 13 to 35. With extensive expertise in assisting neurodivergent individuals and those within the LGBTQ+ community, I welcome anyone seeking care through creative or somatic methodologies. Employing a holistic therapeutic approach, my methods integrate cognitive and somatic interventions, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing, Polyvagal Therapy, and Mindfulness. It is my fervent commitment to empower every individual I work with, ensuring they feel

It takes courage to ask for support. Coming this far is a victory in and of itself. You’re in touch with yourself enough to know that you need something to change, although you may not be certain yet of what that change should look like. Perhaps you need a shift in perspective during a difficult time. Maybe you need to learn to cope with challenging emotions. Perhaps it is your child who needs help and you need help learning how to help them. Whatever your need, you deserve an empathetic and dedicated guide to join you on your journey. You don't have to do this alone. Currently taking clients intermittently.

My practice specializes in gender identity development and sexual orientation. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults (as well as adults beginning to question their identity). Therapy focuses on anxiety management, gender dysphoria, coming out, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and the process of transitioning (if desired). Whether someone is exploring new feelings or has identified as LGBTQ+ for years, the challenges they face may bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, confusion, and even anger. Working with an experienced therapist trained in gender and sexual minority issues can help.

Hi there! I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with twelve years of experience working in a variety of mental health programs. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationship issues, parenting skills, and have additional training specializing in work with trauma.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting task. My hope is to provide a safe and comforting environment where you can just be, without the judgment or criticism. I counsel those who identify as women, those who identify as members of LGBTQIA+ community (many of which are one in the same), and teens ages 13-17. My clients have a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, anger, relationship troubles, depression, sexual identity, cultural identity, and self esteem.

Currently accepting new clients. Welcome! I have been working in the mental health field for many years, mostly devoted to helping treat anxiety, depression, and family issues. Mental health issues can be frightening and exhausting to deal with, so we will create goals for you to successfully achieve based on your own strengths. I believe we all have the ability within us to help heal our scars, pain, or trauma. We will work together to tap into this potential.

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.

I work best with people who feel their world crumbling in some way. Whether you're pushed beyond your breaking point by life stressors, managing difficult life transitions, or want support transforming a precious but challenging relationship into a more satisfying state, I look forward to walking that path with you. As painful, varied, and disorienting as mental health symptoms can be, I deeply trust that they are rooted in a need for support and change. I trust my clients are striving for meaningful, satisfying lives and relationships and work to bring those goals into fruition regardless of our starting point.

What is most important to you in your life today? What is working for you and what would you like to change? We will work collaboratively to identify and achieve the goals that are most meaningful to you, using an individualized and integrative approach that treats the whole person. You are an individual and there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach!

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a warm and welcoming environment where you are free to explore the areas of your life you wish to improve for holistic healing - physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. I offer a warm and empathetic environment as I use a person-centered approach that allows me to understand you through your own unique experiences and walk alongside you on this journey to achieve your personal goals. My primary focus is in child, individual, and couples/family counseling as well as working with neurodivergent populations using neurodiversity-affirming language and approach.

I enjoy working with people who are interested in exploring their story. Often we face struggle and trauma in our life that cause us to behave in certain ways. My clients are often asking themselves why they behave in a certain way even if it is not working for them. They are curious about how past hurts and struggles may still be impacting them to this day.

The therapeutic relationship should empower an individual to regain ownership of their life, shifting negative self-talk and other impacts of trauma; allowing for holistic healing and growth. It is my hope to actively walk alongside my client as they work to create their peace; ultimately gaining an improvement in positive self-awareness and optimism, with a side of lasting security and emotional health.

My client profile consists of 1/3 children/adolescents, 1/3 trauma focused therapy due to sexual assault and/or sexual addiction impact, and 1/3 females over 40 who would like to explore making changes in life. I enjoy the diversity of my practice as all the above mentioned areas enable me to work with both childhood disorders and relational challenges into adulthood. My focus on sexual addiction/trauma and family of origin issues is to provide supportive and therapeutic space for partners and children/teens who have been impacted by someone who has either a confirmed or suspected sexual addiction.

My purpose in life is to have a positive impact on people's lives. It brings me tremendous joy to uplift people around me. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping my clients on their journey to live their lives to their full potential. I am committed to showing up and supporting my clients to learn about themselves, heal, and grow. Together, we can discover what it is that holds you back and no longer serves you. We will explore how to redirect your energy to harvest more joy, purpose, and fulfillment in your life.
