Psychologist in Port Orchard, WA

About My Clients

My passions and experiences are rooted in working with adults (18+), LGBTQIA2s+, BIPOC, mixed race, creatives, neurodivergent people (ADHD/Autism/Gifted/2e/3e), and people living in marginalized bodies. I work with individuals who experience anxiety, chronic illness, eating & body concerns, exploring matters related to culture, sexuality, gender and neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, Gifted, 2e/3e). I enjoy supporting people who work in healthcare, tech, and other high stakes environments.

My Background and Approach

I practice from the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and incorporate DBT, exposure, somatic and psychedelic preparation and integration approaches. Additionally, I have been trained to provide Written Exposure Therapy, which is a brief, evidence based exposure-based psychotherapy for PTSD by Brian P. Marx, PhD and Denise M. Sloan, PhD. I also provide ADHD & Autism assessments and assessments needed to obtain letters for gender affirming care. I offer a gender and neurodivergent-affirming approach to my therapy and assessment practices.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Presence, trust, and connection are the basic ingredients for any supportive relationship. Wherever you are in your life, I promise to meet you with non-judgement, humility and an easygoing curiosity. Our work together will seek to unearth and honor your true essence, what you value, and who you want to be in this life. I will compassionately hold space for you as we sort through your hidden parts, deconstruct long held beliefs, approach your fears, and sit with your grief. This can be challenging work, and I will invite us to explore what works for you. My hope for you is to feel liberated, to engage in play, patterns and relationships that nurture you, and to help you feel at home in your body and safe in community.
