Therapists in Fircrest, WA

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.

We all need compassionate connection to grow and heal, and that is especially important in therapy. I provide a connection that is warm, yet intellectual, making sure to challenge your mind and heart for growth, support, and ultimately deeper relationships. I'm a good match for recovering perfectionists, women with ADHD/autism, anxiety concerns, depression, and those wanting support around chronic health conditions.

Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, shame, guilt and worthlessness? Have you experienced trauma and continue to be triggered? Want a change? Embrace the grace, power and strength that enabled you to survive challenging circumstances in the past! If you are ready for some transformative work, then I am happy and excited to help guide you on your inner journey of exploration and transformation! I will support you and provide a safe place for this journey to unfold.

It can be a challenge to find a counselor that is not only a good fit, but has the knowledge to help with the concerns you are bringing to therapy. I work with both both children and adults in my practice and have spent the past 10 years specializing in treating depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns in children, and trauma/PTSD using evidence-based treatments. Clients have described me as straight-forward as well as taking the time to understand their experience.

Telehealth Only: Accepting Clients: I work with clients who are motivated to become the best version of themselves and find ways to manage and keep balance with their mental health. I look at various aspects of wellness that contribute to your self-care and mental health, help understand where your thoughts and behaviors are stemming from, find ways to cope through life's challenges, and gain insight and reflection into yourself. I will help you gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to implement positive change in your life by tapping into your strengths, resources, and helping you identify your next steps.

People who seek me out tend to feel stuck, blocked and very ready to have something different in life. Vitality and joy have been sucked out of you with anxiety and sadness remaining. It really sucks feeling this way and everyday is on repeat. No one wants to be around you, you don't even want to be around yourself. Either you are fading into your surroundings and have no voice to exclaim your existence or your irritable, angry energy pushes people away. Talking to someone will likely help you - however, changing thoughts, feelings and behaviors will make the difference. Action is required to regain happiness and wholeness.

I believe an integral part of therapy and transformative change is creating a space where all individuals, regardless of their challenges feel welcomed and supported. I am committed to providing treatment that aligns with your individual values, needs and pace.

Unfortunately I am not currently taking new clients. I view problems as not within one person, but within the interactions between people and their environment. I work to help clients develop skills and insight to better manage their lives, while at the same time working to balance relationships. I value the insight and skill each client brings to therapy and work with clients' own strengths to help them reach their goals. Symptom relief is my initial focus with clients, but it is only a first step in the therapy process. Subsequently, my focus shifts toward working with clients to address the underlying problems in their lives.

Stress, loss and grief are often unavoidable and the pain can sometimes feel unmanageable. It can often leave us feeling alone and that life is moving on without us. Maybe this is because you recently experienced a traumatic event or have been living with years of unresolved emotional pain you can’t continue to ignore. Maybe you logically believe "you're enough", "I'm fine" but emotionally, you don't believe it. Or maybe, you're already seeing a kick ass therapist and have a list of coping skills but want to do more than just 'talk about it" with EMDR. What your feeling is valid and you deserve to get the support you need.

You have quietly suffered for too long. You have faced a pain that is so dark and deep you haven’t thought about it in years. You’ve managed to bury the trauma enough to carry on with your life. People look at you and think, “They have got it all together.” But the pain is starting to surface. The past is catching up, and you can’t outrun it this time. You’re ready now. You’re ready to face the darkness and experience true healing. The good news is, you don’t have to face it alone.

I am a white, neurodivergent, pansexual, cismale, and 3rd generation Italian-North European immigrant living on Puyallup / Steilacoom lands (Fircrest, WA) but born and raised in Očhéthi Šakówiŋ / Wahpekute lands (Minneapolis, MN). I work from a place that acknowledges my own identity and privileges in effort to help clients address their own identity, struggles, and role in systems of oppression. I value activism and allyship including addressing political issues directly in my work, examining my own assumptions and blind spots, and working to always increase my awareness of oppression and systemic issues.

*Not Currently Accepting New Clients* Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? I can guide you in exploring these issues while helping you to identify and access your inner strengths and resources for healing and growth.

As a therapist, I'm passionate about providing my clients with a safe, trusting, kind and understanding place to work through their most pressing concerns. For over 10 years I've used evidence-based and solution-focused therapy to help my clients build the tools and techniques that have been proven effective in navigating the difficulties of life.

Whether it be navigating a stressful life transition, feeling out of control in your environment, or finally feeling ready to process your past—everyone could use some additional support sometimes. Whatever it may be, we can figure it out together! My practice is centered around a client focused, strengths based, and trauma informed perspective. At my core I believe that the therapeutic alliance and relationship are integral to the success of an intervention, and I enjoy utilizing humor to strengthen and develop the therapeutic relationship!

Feeling unsteady, lost, overwhelmed? Work, home, family becoming a lot? Does it feel like it's all on you, alone? Seems hard to move, or maybe, it's hard to stop moving because you're afraid of what might happen if you slowed down, if you paused? Maybe it all started with a loss of a loved one, a job transition, a break-up, new relationship, or when you had children. Maybe it started long ago, and it's painful to think about. Whenever it started, did you lose yourself along the way? Are you wondering if you'll be able to enjoy relationships, work, home, yourself, again, or how you'll trust your ability to survive and thrive?
