Introduction

Hi, I’m Katelynn. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing DBT therapy in Port Orchard, Washington and telehealth services throughout Washington State. I specialize in emotional regulation, anxiety, ADHD, and couples counseling using the Gottman Method. My work focuses on helping high-functioning women and couples who look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. If you are someone who: Overthinks everything Feels stuck in relationship patterns Struggles with emotional intensity Has ADHD and feels misunderstood Wants a stronger, healthier partnership You are in the right place. My Approach: Emotional Regulation & Relationship Growth I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help individuals build practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, overwhelm, and impulsivity. DBT therapy is especially effective for clients who struggle with emotional regulation, relationship conflict, and ADHD-related challenges. In my work as a couples therapist in Port Orchard, I integrate principles from the Gottman Method to help partners: Improve communication Rebuild trust Strengthen emotional intimacy Break negative cycles Prepare for marriage with confidence Whether you are seeking couples counseling, premarital counseling, or individual therapy for anxiety or ADHD, my goal is to help you feel more steady, connected, and empowered.
