Healthcare Management Administrators Therapists in Puyallup, WA
Human connection, sharing joy and pain, and finding solace within genuine relationships has always been a love and passion of mine. I believe many mental health issues stem from difficulty interfacing with systemic issues like financial stability, housing security, familial expectations, discrimination, inter-generational trauma, gender roles, burnout from work, and many other issues that are set up to be difficult. As a queer/gender fluid person and therapist, I incorporate expansive perspectives, language, and theory to my practice. I am cheerful, and hold both tenderness and strength.

I have always been passionate about stories—both the ones I create and the ones shared with me. Counseling feels like a natural extension of that passion: a space where stories are honored as powerful tools for reflection and growth. When people feel safe enough to share their experiences, new perspectives can emerge—for both the storyteller and the listener—opening the door to deeper understanding and meaningful change. I see the counseling process as a collaborative journey of exploration, where your story is not only heard, but respected and thoughtfully examined.

Seeking help from others can be very challenging, and in my experience, it is those that seek help that express the utmost courage. As a therapist, most of my experience has been centered around helping children and their families, many of whom have viewed therapy as a last resort. As a therapist, my mission is to help my clients heal and recover from things like depression, anxiety, or trauma in a way that is central to who they are. I utilize both art and play therapy to help understand my clients in expressive ways. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to gain a bigger perspective of my clients’ past, present and futures.

My ideal client would be one in which desires to work on the hard issues, desires to listen to feedback and apply these strategies to their life to improve their overall quality of life. I have years of experience working with trauma related issues and recognize that it is difficult to unpack these "heavy" issues and desire clients that are willing to do homework and willing to apply changes to their lives through the counseling process.

Emotions and significant life stressors can leave a person feeling stuck or helpless. Finding a safe place to process emotions and address questions of shame, normalcy, and acceptance can be challenging. Without being able to process emotions and trauma, we can get stuck while the emotions stay in our bodies. Processing emotions not only provides mental relief, but can also transform a person’s connectedness to their bodies and relieve some physical manifestations of stressors. I hope to help people find hope which allows space for life to be messy and things to still be okay.

I offer services in Spanish as well.

My passion is helping you break free from what I call the "dictatorship" of anxiety, anger, depression, past hurts, and work with you to find your personal strength to start living your life on your terms and strengthen connections with others.
