Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in trauma-focused care and integrative therapies. I utilize EMDR alongside other bottom-up approaches such as somatic and IFS-informed therapy. I am clinically trained in classical psychoanalysis, brief psychodynamic interventions, CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and will draw upon these frameworks when clinically relevant.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. I have more than nine years of clinical experience across psychiatric care, correctional health, critical care, and medical-surgical nursing, which gives me a broad perspective when supporting clients with a wide range of mental health needs. I treat concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions. I believe every client deserves to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care.
