Accepting Clients

My Name is Nora and I am a person-centered therapist who understands that life can be messy and complicated. I am here to support you.

Associate Clinical Social Worker in Tacoma, WA

About My Clients

Addiction, compulsive behaviors, disordered eating, love, and sex issues cause enormous stress, guilt, and shame. If you keep asking yourself; Why can't I stop? Why do my relationships keep crashing? I am the right therapist for you. I work with teens and adults struggling to understand their behavior. Using a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, we will explore the root of your concerns and find out what you can do instead. I will not "fix you". Instead we will work together.

My Background and Approach

I draw on training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, Mindfulness, Somatic Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Non-Volent Communication, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as my own lived experience, to create treatment tailored to your needs. You are doing the best you can with the skills you have right now, but I know you deserve so much more. I will balance compassion with accountability to support you and help you live your desired life. If you resonate with these concerns and think my approach may help you, Set up a free meet and greet; I look forward to hearing from you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. This means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Through my own therapy, I have learned how to improve my coping skills to live the life I want to live. And you can too.
