Therapists in Puyallup, WA

You've lost yourself. There was a time when you knew yourself well and felt strong in who you are, but life, relationships, uncertainty, and doubt have crept in and now you're not so sure of yourself anymore. You feel like you're always trying to please others, or making excuses for not being what you think you should be, and you feel like a fraud. Like there are different parts of you showing up for different people, and it's hard to be authentically you. And it's exhausting! Hi, I'm Katie! I love helping women overcome anxiety, depression, grief, heal from trauma, create fulfilling relationships, & live the life you want to live.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

I work with children ages 5-15, couples, families and individuals from a family systems perspective to address any myriad of concerns. I work collaboratively with my clients, to facilitate a client-led course of treatment based on their own strengths. If you want to strengthen relationships, identify and track potentially harmful behavior or thought patterns, and overall improve and progress in your life and circumstances, I am here to help you do that!

Welcome! We are all emotional and relational beings so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships and are ongoing throughout our lives. Experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, struggling with communication issues, moving through discouragement, and unmet expectations in yourself and/or loved ones, is not a sign of failure or weakness. These experiences simply remind us we are human and provide opportunities for growth. The choice to do something different is yours. I welcome the walk with you on your journey of hope and transformation.

Sometimes, we have a problem that needs an outside perspective that allows ourselves to resolve it and move forward. Sometimes, we just need confirmation that what we are thinking is real and justified. Whether it is anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidality, or changes in life you are dealing with (like empty nesting, retirement, moving from home, elderly care) are all things we need help to transition into. I can help you navigate them collaboratively, and with your narrative in place.

Each person has the ability to learn, grow and make necessary changes in their personal life, relationships, and situations. We aim at exploring and understanding ways of thinking and patterns of behavior one may be completely unaware of, resulting in repetitive patterns of behavior that ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and emotional turmoil in a person's life. We are driven by a belief that each individual has potential to grow from their life experiences, whether it be good or bad. As a group of highly qualified and trained therapists, we are passionate about solving critical challenges and inspiring personal growth.

Have you drawn your last straw? I work with couples in distress regarding sexual issues, chronic conflict, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD. My focus in couple therapy is to understand and give space to even the ugliest parts of you and your partner that have been preventing the connection you once felt. As we contextualize parts and patterns in your experience, we can uncover the stuck-ness that is keeping you from feeling the satisfaction and safety you seek. While I see many wonderful, burned-out mothers and wives, I also have extensive experience with courageous men who also enter the "feeling" space.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety or having behavioral problems I am here to help. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with opportunities for learning and growth in order to help them discover at their core the things that are holding them back from truly becoming who they want to be.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of my clients have had difficult childhoods and are curious how therapy can help to reduce their suffering, heal from past traumas, and learn healthier ways of attachment. I use elements of EMDR therapy in my approach. I am kink allied and sex positive. I invite you to come as you are. I will respect, support, and encourage you during our time in therapy.

Engaging in counseling can be a scary first step. You may wonder if your symptoms are just in your head and if you really just need to "tough it out". I applaud the courage it takes to look for a counselor and entrust someone with the scariest or most difficult parts of your life. I am honored to be that person for my clients.

Changes in life can cause feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, insecurity, and lack of direction. They may create a struggle within your personal identity as you move through life and have new experiences. Despite these challenges, you are trying your best to keep your head above water. But there's a feeling in you that wants more from life. You want to connect with others, develop deep and lasting relationships, form a stronger sense of self, and be confident in who you are. You want to feel empowered - to feel strong, self-reliant, and in control of your life!

Asking for help can be difficult. Maybe you don't even know what kind of help to ask for. I'm here to help you figure out what you need and put together a plan that feels possible. Therapy is unique to each person and is driven by your individual needs, goals, and what we discover in our work together. Using your pacing and my integrative approach, we will find a customized treatment plan for you. There is no problem too complicated or too challenging that we can't work through together. I encourage you to include partners and family as support if you'd like- the important thing is you don't have to suffer alone anymore.

Hi there! Wherever you are in your journey, I am happy you are here. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults in their recovery from anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, life transitions, and other issues that can be challenging to face alone. Challenges come from many sources and I want to partner with you to identify problems and find solutions that will allow you to engage more fully in your life starting now.

Many of us, at one time or another, experience a feeling of being overwhelmed by life. There are even phases when everything seems to be going wrong. Anxiety and depression are common responses to the difficulties of life. If you are on here searching for help you are most likely at a point in your life where things feel out of balance.

My goal is to assist my clients with healing from old wounds, coping skills, adjusting to life transitions, goal setting, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and provide encouragement and compassion along the way. My passion is listening to others, offering support and empowering you to reach your goals whatever they may be.  I have an extensive background working with all ages but my focus is working with women and men between ages 18-55 yrs of age. I genuinely enjoy working with clients to help find hope, peace and acceptance of themselves and difficult situations.
