Therapists in Puyallup, WA

Hi, I'm Wendy and I provide counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and Seniors. I use a strength based integrative approach that sees each person as unique. I pull from a variety of models including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, Humanistic, Sports, and Positive Psychology. I work with many challenges individuals face addressing emotional, behavioral, and social needs; such as anxiety, depression, domestic violence, attachment disorders, ADHD, and more. I want to help you become empowered by further discovering your inner strength, beauty, purpose, and passion.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, hopelessness? Is it causing issues with friends, family, work? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Are you navigating the complexities of life transitions, grappling with challenges like the uncertainties of adulthood, aging or the ups and downs of teenage years? Are you experiencing shifts in your relationships, thoughts or career? You aren’t alone. Life is full of change which often brings up difficult emotions. Through therapy, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your emotions, build up your strengths, and feel self-empowered. My goal is to guide you as you navigate your evolving life be it parenting stress, relationship changes, career shifts, health trials or other demanding challenges.

I have worked with a broad base of clients and stay grounded in a trauma informed, person-centered approach. I work with both teens and adults. In my career as a therapist, I has worked with patients ranging in age from 6 years old to over 70 in a variety of environments. I see each of my patients as the expert of their own lives.

I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents and families and have a theoretical orientation that is client-centered and systemic, meaning that client’s goals, beliefs, values are honored, and respected. My approach is integrative, holistic, and considers the whole person which includes mind, body, and spirit. I take an individualized approach with each and every client to ensure their goals, hopes, and dreams are realized.

Loss doesn’t only occur when someone dies. At times, the grief that accompanies loss can be debilitating. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of an opportunity, or the loss of faith in ourselves or our world, grief can make us question everything we know. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Together we can work through the pain of grief to accept the reality of the loss and adjust to living a new and fulfilling life.
