My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.

I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.

I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.

Welcome, I look forward to working with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State. I've been working in the field for over 20 years, and have found in the last 10, that for most people, the online option has worked just as well as in person. It provides convenience, accessibility, and a more comfortable setting for my clients to be more open and engaged.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Puyallup

Searching for therapists in Puyallup starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists and counselors in Puyallup may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Some profiles may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, or couples counseling.

Puyallup is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.

Therapy in Puyallup can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
