Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

Hi there! My name is Noreen and I help adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, past trauma. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and create lasting change. I work with Adults 25 to 99+ by offering Telehealth services. I am licensed in Missouri, California, Washington, Ohio and Iowa. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or long-term growth, I’m here to help.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. This means I am trained to treat both physical health and mental health. WIN-WIN! I started off as a combat medic in the Army and after my enlistment went back to school for nursing. I have been in the nursing field for nearly 20 years, a nurse practitioner for six years and working in addiction medicine and mental health, specifically, for over the last two years. This is my PASSION and I feel like I am saving people’s lives while also treating them with kindness and compassion.

Anxiety, depression, ADHD and complex trauma are all too familiar to me- I feel so much joy when I am given the privilege to help others with their own, no matter where they are at in their process.

As a person who was late-in-life diagnosed A(u)DHD, I learned a lot of "bootcamp" social skills and navigation tools over the years to survive a harsh world not designed for people like me. I really excel in providing a validating space to join me, side by side, as we all learn how to ride this wild life.

I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker assisting those with chronic mental health struggles. I specialize in anxiety, OCD & phobias, mood disorders and general work with adults experiencing challenging life stressors, change or loss. No matter what life stage you are in, therapy can help you cope and learn to thrive.

I am a licensed counselor with a Masters in Counseling. My practice is rooted in extensive experience working with diverse populations. I offer a unique blend of evidence-based and creative approaches.I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic interventions such as Expressive Arts.

I graduated from Northwestern University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in clinical mental health counseling. I've spent the last three years working in a group practice specializing in treating eating disorders, exploring identity, and working with the BIPOC community addressing cultural issues that show up in everyday life.
