Therapists in Port Orchard, WA
You're passionate about your work. It's your purpose and mission in life. I'm passionate about it too - and about working with burned out (or those wanting to avoid burnout) because I know what it's like from personal experience. Time off and self-care help but are not enough. More important is the inner work to deal with the exhaustion, loss of empathy, cynicism and hopelessness about the cultural and systemic pressures to produce more and to satisfy work demands. Self-sacrifice is not a sustainable strategy. Alignment with your true Self and the real demands of Life are sustainable strategies for wellness.

My treatment helps increase self-awareness and insight while challenging unbalanced thought processes. Enhancing self-worth and self-acceptance is a core theme for my clients. Common issues I work with are depression, anxiety, disordered eating, PTSD/trauma, panic, mild dissociation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, and performance anxiety. My trauma-informed and integrative approach involves a reflective, person-centered openness, where you can develop introspection, safely release emotions, and discover your true authentic self.

As a systemic therapist, I am dedicated to guiding individuals, couples, and families through their inner complexities, fostering healing, growth, and self-discovery. I approach clients holistically, considering their relationships and connections using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as a foundation. This dynamic model identifies and works with inner subpersonalities, promoting self-compassion and self-acceptance. I tailor this approach to individual needs, incorporating additional methods when necessary, fostering transformative change at personal and relational levels.

Perhaps you're seeking relief after struggling with the same problem for years. You kept hoping that it would go away on its own, but it just keeps dogging you. Or, a current situation is bringing back old, unpleasant feelings or frustrating behaviors that you thought you had "dealt with", and it's negatively affecting both you and other people in your life. Maybe you're experiencing something now that you've never faced before, and your normal ways of coping just aren't working as well (or at all).

We all have stories of loss, conflict, and anxiety. And we all need someone to help us. I believe we are created for connection, and that deep drive for connection is both key to helping us move through the world with security and confidence, as well as the origin of much of how we experience anxiety, depression, anger, and much more. I have my own story that resonates deeply with this. When I was 20, during a quiet walk in the woods, I began to weep. To my chagrin a deep well of emotion I had not realized was there was bubbling up and I could not stop it, nor did I know why it was there.

Are you experiencing relational stress, narcissistic relationships, infidelity, or codependency? If so, you might feel confused, betrayed, and alone. Do you ask yourself, "How do I keep ending up in these relationships?" Do you strive for validation, acceptance, and approval? Core beliefs are the foundation of our being but when they cause us pain, embarrassment, and shame we can become depressed, anxious, fake, and withdrawn. If you are telling yourself "I'm unlovable", "Something is wrong with me", “I am stupid”, “I am worthless”, or “I am not good enough”, your core beliefs may be contributing to your pain today.

I am currently offering both Telehealth and in-person sessions. I work specifically with clients who have a desire to learn more about themselves, and to increase their experience of vulnerability. While employing a holistic mind, body and spirit perspective, my approach validates each client as having the answers and abilities within themselves to become the best person they can be.

If you're feeling the pressure of challenging times, you're not alone. Many are struggling to manage the symptoms associated with chronic stress and chronic loneliness alongside anxiety and depression rooted in an unpredictable future. Perhaps you find it difficult to connect with others or have the relationships you want, or struggle to feel worthy of love. Understanding what contributes to your suffering and what you can do about it can lead to better awareness and gives us opportunities to break the cycles that keep us from our goals, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life.
