Therapists in Pierce County, WA

Pull up a bean bag chair, grab your favorite fidget, and let's talk. Maybe you describe your life as "a lot," and struggle to find the spoons to get all your stuff done as well as make meaningful change. Maybe anxiety takes up so much space in your day that it leaves little room for the things you want. Maybe your story includes trauma, and that burden is getting so heavy, it hurts. You want to pursue fulfillment, satisfaction, meaning, and peace in your world. If any of these or other painful places in your heart are true, I would love to get a chance to walk alongside you and find what you're looking for together.

Some folks have mental health struggles such as anxiety or depression and therefore come to therapy for treatment and help. Others come to therapy for other life problems such as relationship problems, stressful work environments, worries about their future or their kids, struggles with their faith and spirituality, or grief and loss, etc. Counseling is an investment in the betterment of your life.

Hello! I am currently accepting new clients. Life can hit hard sometimes and leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, hurt and angry. Whether you have hit an obstacle, experienced a loss, you are feeling stuck, numb, you are struggling, feeling anxious, or dealing with trauma, I am here to help walk through it with you. We need a little extra help and support sometimes to equip us with the tools to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs. I am glad you’ve made it here it’s a big first step and I’d love to get the opportunity to chat more with you. If you or someone you love needs a little extra support and help, give me a call.

We all have stories to tell. What happened in our lives isn’t who we are, it is what happened to us. The challenging stories are based on past events, being activated now via negative automatic thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and repeated behaviors…which can keep us stuck and/or prevent us from living in genuine alignment with who we are. I believe we each have the ability to reset, readjust, restart, and rewrite the parts of our story that are no longer helpful or serving us. We are amazingly intelligent, creative, resilient, and adaptive beings! What story(ies) do you want to rewrite, or let go of, that are no longer helpful?

The therapeutic relationship should empower an individual to regain ownership of their life, shifting negative self-talk and other impacts of trauma; allowing for holistic healing and growth. It is my hope to actively walk alongside my client as they work to create their peace; ultimately gaining an improvement in positive self-awareness and optimism, with a side of lasting security and emotional health.

It is my passion to share in the process of another's life journey, and I consider it a great honor to be present for the healing and growth that therapy can bring. I work with individuals and couples on myriad issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and relationship difficulties, to working toward personal growth, self-exploration, and healthy relationship development. I am particularly interested in helping women find their voices and personal power, and encouraging them to live more satisfying, empowered lives.

It is often quite difficult to be honest with ourselves and with the world around us, particularly as it relates to our experiences of pain and suffering. As a result, patterns of relating with self and others often reinforce even deeper feelings of loneliness, isolation, fear, and anxiety. The various factors that may be driving this cycle include experiences of trauma, strained relationships, loss, and oppressive social/cultural systems.

Are you struggling with changes in your life and looking for a better way to cope? Are you trying to find direction and meaning? Perhaps you're wondering why life doesn't feel more rewarding or you can't seem to find happiness or peace. You may be feeling lonely and struggling to find relationships and friendships to help you during hard times. It can be really challenging living in the Pacific Northwest and finding friendship or relationships.

Life can often be incredibly overwhelming and sometimes it's helpful to have a little extra support. If you are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, parenting, postpartum or perinatal concerns, low self-esteem, panic, OCD, and/or intrusive thoughts, therapy can help. If you need support through different life transitions and are trying to adjust to a different normal, I am here for you. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety-related concerns with empathy and kindness. I offer a holistic and systemic perspective for all of the people I work with and will identify how the systems you are a part of impact your current struggles.

Often, when we feel blocked by experiencing overwhelming negative thoughts and emotions, it can make one feel trapped with no way out. Anger, frustration, sadness and worry can easily pound down confidence and push away people we care about in our lives. My passion is helping you break free from what I call the "dictatorship" of anxiety, anger, depression, past hurts, and work with you to find your personal strength to start living your life on your terms and strengthen connections with others.

Are you struggling with relentless stress, anxiety, and/or depression? Maybe you find yourself isolating from others, feeling constantly triggered, or worried your life feels out of control. Whether you’ve experienced an old or recent trauma, loss of a loved one or pet, relationship betrayal or career stress, or you simply feel stuck and yearn to become your best self, I am glad you reached out. My hope is to create a place where you can come completely and authentically as you are, where the unspeakable can be spoken, and for you to be met with compassion and non-judgement.

I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, challenges with self-worth and unhelpful thinking, trauma, PTSD, relationships and feeling stuck. I help clients realize their innate wisdom, achieve their goals - whatever they may be, and find new ways of being in a world that is constantly full of challenges. I also work with parents who are struggling with their roles as parents, dealing with guilt and shame that oftentimes comes with parenting and help to find positive solutions with childrearing.

As a life coach...my clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Ruminating over past regrets or lost opportunities. Life transitions can cause us to feel uninspired, unsatisfied and co-existing with a hopeless feeling. Work can feel overwhelming or unfulfilling, our wellness becomes unbalanced, our relationships become stagnant or even go away and we find ourselves feeling unconnected from life.
