Therapists in Puyallup, WA
Maybe you’re a therapist, first responder, or educator—someone who gives endlessly to others but feels drained, overwhelmed, or stuck. You spend your days caring for others, but when was the last time you focused on yourself? Burnout, compassion fatigue, and the weight of trauma can leave you feeling untethered, questioning your next steps, or struggling to cope. These challenges don’t just affect you—they can strain relationships, leaving you disconnected or guilty for not being fully present. Anxiety, grief, and chronic stress take a toll. You deserve space to heal, find clarity, and restore balance in your life.

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.
