Counseling, also known as psychotherapy, is a collaborative process with a licensed therapist to explore personal, relational, or emotional concerns. It provides a supportive environment to identify challenges, develop coping strategies, and gain insight into patterns of behavior. People seek counseling for various reasons—whether managing stress, improving relationships, addressing trauma, or working toward personal growth. Research shows that psychotherapy has positive effects for over 92% of participants who chose to undergo counseling for mental and emotional concerns. If you’re interested in creating positive change in your life, counseling may be a beneficial path forward.

I offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and specialized therapy for men. Each is tailored to address your personal growth, relational concerns, and emotional well-being.

I offer in-person sessions in Bremerton and telehealth sessions for individuals and couples located in the state of Washington.

Research suggests that telehealth is just as effective as in-person therapy. The key factors are your comfort with the telehealth format and your engagement in the therapeutic process. If you prefer the convenience of telehealth, we can utilize it to ensure you receive the support you need.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill insurance. However, I provide superbills, which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes, though I can adjust the length based on your needs and availability.

The length of therapy varies depending on individual needs, goals, and the complexities of the issues being addressed. Some clients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may find longer-term therapy more helpful. We will regularly review your progress to determine the best approach for you.

You can schedule a session directly through my website or by contacting me by phone or email. I strive to offer flexible scheduling to accommodate a variety of time preferences.

While counseling can be highly effective, there are no guarantees as every individual and situation is unique. The success of therapy often depends on factors such as your commitment to the process, the nature of the issues being addressed, and the therapeutic relationship we build together.
