Therapists in Puyallup, WA
Trauma touches all our lives in one way or another. It can show up when you have a way bigger reaction than you felt like you "should". Or worrying so much about possible worst-case scenarios that you miss out on the here-and-now. Maybe it shows up as the voice that always tells you that you aren't "good enough". Or as the fear of what happens if you feel "it" deeply. You don't have to have a diagnosis of PTSD to have experienced the impact of trauma. AND life can be SO good on the other side of trauma. Forward Conscious takes you beyond the trauma-work and into the Post-Traumatic Growth work that makes life magical again.

I love to help people live more authentic, fuller lives by celebrating the things that make you unique, and helping you identify what you need to live a more values-driven life. I often work with folks who want to feel less trapped in worry, sadness, anger, or feelings of worthlessness and loneliness. Many come to me with traumatic or painful past experiences, and they want to better navigate relationships with others or manage their emotions in healthier ways. They want to find meaning in their lives, and be more confident in who they are as an individual.

Waitlist for new clients
Short wait list for New Clients! - 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.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you want more out of your relationships? Does it feel as though your heart is heavy? Struggles like this can require a helping hand and therapy can be the step you need. Therapy has the potential to empower and guide growth to overcome the challenges that life brings. It has the ability to bridge tough conversations, acknowledge the impact that the greater society has on us and unpack the emotions that feel unexplainable. Soon that checklist can feel smaller, relationships feel more fulfilling and that weight a bit lighter.

Maybe you struggle to find time for yourself. Maybe you’re a therapist or a first responder who gives so much and now it’s time to focus on your own wellness. Maybe you’ve had a recent life transition and you need support. Maybe you know exactly what you want and all you need is the validation and support to make a change. Maybe you don’t know what you’re feeling at the moment, but you know it’s time to seek support. You’re not alone.

I am proud of you for taking the first steps for you. I imagine this is not easy, but this is a sign of strength and you're stronger then you know. In today's realities, many are struggling with uncertainties, stress, fear, loneliness and isolation. If you are facing ADHD/Depression/Anxiety symptoms, therapy can be helpful in learning coping strategies. If you're struggling and having a hard time, therapy can be helpful. Lets learn how to bring ourselves a sense of calm and learn how to be in control of our life. Therapy helps us learn to manage the perceived unmanageable.

Most people can benefit from counseling at some point in their lives – regarding work, family, relationships, or specific life events. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional and/or relational issues. Frequently, they have endured traumas. Some of them are grieving losses. Some have managed to closely guard their painful pasts, until recent stressors overcame those barriers, and old feelings and thoughts have crept in. If this sounds like you, I can help.

I’ve counseled people in some form or fashion for most of my life. When I was younger, friends came to me with their problems and left our conversation feeling better. Seeing the change in them was moving and made me realize I wanted to do this professionally. However, my journey to becoming a therapist was an unusual one. I was a monk for more than a decade and worked abroad. During that time, I gained a deeper understanding of the human experience and struggle. It shaped me as a therapist and has since helped me identify people’s deeper issues as well as give concrete and practical advice.

Life is hard; no one said it would be easy. Nothing that has value comes easily. It seems the things that can bring us lasting joy are the things we have to work to achieve. We are all unique in history. Where we come from, which family, which culture, impacted who we are and who we will or have become. Yet, all of us are the same in that we need human interaction. We come into this world seeking others, touch, interaction. We are neither meant to be or have to be completely alone. *(I am an approved WA State Supervisor and am currently taking on LMHCA supervisees).
