Therapists in Puyallup, WA

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.

When tears well up and tempers flare, give me a call and I'll be there. If you have never been to counseling before, you may be feeling anxious at the thought of calling me. That is normal, but I want you to know that I am a gentle soul who is here to help you. I hope you will reach out to me so we can discuss what is bothering you. My approach is filled with unconditional positive regard and respect. Counseling is my passion!

Hello and welcome! The most important aspect of therapy is the positive relationship between therapist & client that fosters respect, trust & open communication.  It's my intention to create a supportive & collaborative environment where we can work together to find the best way to address your needs in this journey.

You can heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. We often use our minds to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into trouble. We become fragmented when we problem solve without taking the time to tend to our whole self. Use all of you to integrate what has been fragmented by trauma, be it divorce, depression, anxiety, family issues, grief, etc. In a Christian setting I will be guide you to access your thoughts, feelings, and spirituality to help you become more authentically yourself, allowing you to use your strengths and create more peace in your life.

Hi, I have worked with hurting people for a long time and my hope is to support you through this difficult, possibly overwhelming time in your life. Your struggle is unique and personal and I respect your need to feel understood. During our first visit, I will simply listen and seek to understand what is causing you sorrow, anxiety, hurt, or anger. Together we will work towards wholeness and my firm hope is that I can help you find that place in life again where you are at peace with yourself and your situation.

You might be like most of my clients - a normally well adjusted, intelligent person, struggling with anxiety or depression. For people like you, counseling really works.
