Female Therapists in Puyallup, WA
I often notice when we finally take the time to catch a breath we tend to bring awareness to just how shallow our breathing actually is. Life moves fast and it doesn’t slow down even when we need it the most; it's easy to slip into survival mode. As a therapist it is my goal to not only guide my clients out of survival mode but help them find a way back to thriving and connection. While I honor the survival skills that got you here, it may be time to consider the possibility of healing. Whether it is PTSD or complex trauma, sports/performance blocks, attachment wounds, depression, anxiety, or birth trauma, I am honored to help.

I am currently accepting new clients! When we accept ourselves we can more fully connect with others and enjoy being present in our daily lives. Would you like to treat yourself with loving kindness? To respond thoughtfully to others instead of reacting based on past experiences? I enjoy working with adult abuse survivors to develop self-compassion and explore issues related to childhood and relational trauma.

I utilize Motivational Interviewing with a Humanistic/Existential approach as a foundation to my therapy. Which means understanding that a "whole" person is more than the sum of his or her parts. I understand people by examining their interpersonal relationships. That people have many levels of self-awareness, that can be neither ignored nor put into an abstract context. I also believe individuals have free will and are participants rather than observers in their own lives; and that people's lives have purpose, value and meaning. I choose to submerge myself into the world of the person; I am working with.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out- Life gets hard, relationships are complicated, work is demanding, the political climate can feel scary, and sometimes it's hard to know which way is up. Things like anxiousness, feelings of sadness, or experiences of trauma can complicate all this. It's difficult to feel on the cusp of needing to do something, wanting something different, and feeling stuck. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that aren't serving you anymore. Let's talk about how to make meaningful change, and connection to yourself, your needs and values.

Change does not happen overnight. It is a process that happens by taking small steps towards a goal every day. My goal is to help individual's & families to become stronger & have a healthier outlook on the future/present, so they can develop accepting & loving relationship with themselves & others without judgement. This is done by improving communication, learning & understanding an individual’s past, beliefs or culture can affect one’s behavior, views & emotions, building up self-worth, being validated when family members address issues from the past or present.
