Therapists in Puyallup, WA

Welcome to Thrive Counseling. I am here to offer a place for healing and restored hope: A place to Thrive! Because of some of my most challenging experiences as a child, an adult, wife and mother, in addition to my experience in ministry leadership, I pursued counseling as a career. My goal as a therapist is to give you the room to grow and find the courage for change. Together, we can work to find the skills needed for a new and exciting therapeutic transformation.

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.

Has emotional pain left you feeling disconnected? Are you living in anger, anxiety, and even stagnation? You can’t sleep, memories haunt you, and your relationships are suffering. You are living life in chaos… and it feels normal! You’re ready to be emotional well, to feel balanced within. Most of all, you are ready to live authentically to the call of your heart, mind, body, and soul… feeling enabled, capable, and stable. Rest assured, my hypnotherapy and trauma recovery coaching services can help you clear away the FOG (fear, obligation, and guilt) once and for all.

You are worthy. You are capable. You are not broken. You can get through this. These are phrases that may be hard to believe for all of us at times due to various life experiences, transitions, or circumstances. While partnering with clients I use a mix of approaches, namely cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The best fit therapy approach coupled with a strength-based perspective is used to support you in managing emotional distress, increasing self-respect, developing and maintaining new skill sets for coping, and navigating through life’s challenges.

My therapeutic approach is evidenced based. We will identify your goals and work on empowering you to overcome obstacles that may be in your way. The therapeutic experience will develop more effective personal skills to improve every aspect of you're life. I have worked in the helping profession since 2010, serving adults and teens in several different roles. I have experience working with daily stressors, beginning college life, emotion regulation skills, stress, and negative self-talk.

Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.

-TEMPORARILY NOT TAKING NEW PATIENTS- Life and relationships can be overwhelming. Oftentimes, in spite of our best efforts, we find ourselves ineffective with the tools we have. Identifying and understanding your underlying tendencies, which frequently stem from hurtful relationships, is foundational for making peace and moving forward with more effective tools. We want to love and be loved. Before we can do this, we need to be love-able, in other words- healthy enough to express and accept love while maintaining healthy boundaries.

There are times in our lives when we feel stuck. We struggle with transition, grief, and loss. We may find it difficult to relate to others or even ourselves. My approach to therapy with adolescents, men, women, and families is client-centered and collaborative. My role is to help you solve your problems in positive and fulfilling ways. I provide a safe and compassionate place where you can find balance, connection and growth. Because my experience involves working with children, teens, adults and families, I hold a broad scope and view you as a whole person.
