Female Therapists in Bremerton, WA

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.

Clients I see often prefer a non pharma route to help with depression, anxiety, ADD, or other brain health issues. I help you navigate transitions such as separation or divorce, and /or relationship issues at home or work. I utilize an integrative holistic approach that melds counseling, wellness and brain health coaching. I equip clients to think, feel and function at their best to enjoy health and safe satisfying relationships. My methods are effective for stress management, healing from past wounds, improving communication/ relationship skills. I help those in narcissistic abuse relationships navigate a way forward.

I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience that provides clients with the tools and insights they need to live more fulfilling lives.

Hey, welcome to my little portal. The people I work best with experience daily struggles related to C-PTSD/Complex Trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, dissociative disorders, emotional challenges and relationship issues. They're often navigating the effects of marginalization and oppression, for themselves and intergenerationally. We work toward processing those experiences while gaining tools, self-knowledge, and understanding along the way. Together we tailor this process to suit you and your needs, help you find safety and strength, and make supported changes toward your goals.

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

Feeling stuck? Do you want some help through transitions of life? Being seen and heard through life's challenges can make all the difference. Many things can trip us up: PTSD, difficult relationships, anxiety, stress, lack of confidence or low self-esteem. You may have been holding it together for a long time and need a break from the chaos that comes from living in our society.

Do you find yourself reading the same articles to help with anxiety, depression and/or trauma and feeling like there is more that you would like to uncover? If you are looking for a more layered and meaningful approach to therapy, I may be able to help. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and ADHD and work hard to help you reexamine your situation in ways you might not have used before and find the tools to take control of your life. I also post weekly at Calm Body, Quiet Mind - an all things mental and bodily health newsletter found on Substack. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma including PTSD or sexual abuse, abandonment, or other difficult circumstances, it would be my honor to help you learn practical tools to move toward complete healing and wholeness. I have extensive clinical experience working with patients with a variety of backgrounds and mental health conditions. If you feel stuck in a rut and you’ve been tempted to give up, I will come alongside you to lift you out of the darkness and into the light. I understand the courage it takes to step out of your abyss and ask for help. You are not alone; help is available.

Website: ghostsandangels.org I provide mental health therapy for children ages 0 to 12 experiencing stress, transitions, the effects of trauma, and other emotional and behavioral needs. I work virtually with clients in Washington State using evidence-based practices and creative, child-centered activities. I also offer therapy to parents & caregivers who want to reduce the stress of parenting and increase the connectedness they share with their child. This form of therapy can be particularly supportive to cycle breakers: parents with stress and trauma themselves who are working to change the generational patterns in their families.

There are three fundamental qualities essential in our journey to navigate the complexities of human experience: compassion, humor, and realism. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard, valued, and supported. I am committed to maintaining a safe, judgment-free environment. I believe in the healing power of laughter, and integrate humor into my work to help individuals cope with adversity and discover their inner strength. I also believe that a grounded sense of realism is important in developing and working toward our goals. We must first recognize who we are so we can become who we want to be.

Hi there, currently I'm not taking any new clients until fall 2024. I'm a good fit for clients who want to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and seek to take personal responsibility around how they show up in their life and relationships. Doing inner transformational work can feel messy and unpleasant at times, and I will do my best to support you with respect and honesty in this process. We can explore your past and present experiences at a pace that works for you so that you can build clarity and resilience. If you'd like to send me a message, please also include your insurance and schedule availability.

We all experience hardships and circumstances out of our control from time to time. My desire is to help you empower yourself, regain control of your life, and change your mindset so that you can have the most contentment and joy possible. I hope to create a safe place for you to develop your strengths while equipping you for positive change as you navigate the challenges of life. Seeking counseling requires a lot of courage and strength; your step in faith will be met with kindness, genuine care, and understanding.

Everyday family life has ups and downs. Families may expect transitions and challenges adapting. Yet, there are times when individuals and families find they have become stuck, bogged down, exhausted, entangled with a particular issue or a lap full of complex circumstances and stressors. In my role as a therapist and human being, I look forward to working with individuals and families (all shapes, sizes, and combinations of relationships) in discovery, exploration, and use of their strengths and potentials to adapt, heal, grow, create and transform within and through what may seem impossible.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

I support individuals and couples through challenges and transitions to improve the quality of their lives. One focus of my practice is in Perinatal Mental Health (Pregnancy and Postpartum) including mood and anxiety disorders, depression, miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy or birth complications, trauma and grief, or difficulties bonding with your baby. I work with couples struggling with relationship issues including the impact having a baby has on a relationship, parenting challenges and healthy communication. Other treatment specialties include substance abuse, relational trauma, emotional regulation, and suicidality.

My passion is working with parents, individuals, children, teens, and families who are struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression. In our work together, I will help you gain coping skills, confidence, and hope through compassionate, strength-based practice. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and a former special education teacher with extensive experience providing supportive care to best meet individual and family needs.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Ready to make a change, but not sure where to begin? Help is available! I am a mental health and substance use counselor based in Kitsap County and providing telehealth services throughout Washington. I work primarily with adults and teenagers ages 13+. I can help you address a variety of issues, including substance abuse and addiction (including nicotine/tobacco use), depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, self-harm, grief, low self-esteem, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I do offer letters for gender-affirming care. I currently have a 1-2 month waitlist for new clients.

If you’re looking for an individual or couples therapist who is direct, honest, and kind then we are likely a match. I understand tackling anxiety, depression, or those pesky past family issues is complicated. Healing PTSD from sexual trauma or infidelity, exploring your sexuality or gender, and family wounds are all issues continually impacting our human experience. These are things I can help with. Additionally, I am deeply familiar with exploring trans identity both individually and in relationships. I also have intimate understanding of how Disability and Autism can impact your idea of self, safety, and the world around you.
