Family therapy and counseling in Puyallup, WA

Are you looking for a cheerleader or a therapist who is willing to challenge you directly? My background in competitive athletics, therapeutics, and sport psychology all contribute to how I approach clients.

I have a background in youth and young adults ages 10-24 with trauma. I have worked with military adult populations for 6 years. I have 10 years experience in sport psychology, working with athletes and their parents. I specialize in LGBTQ+, and identify as gay.

I truly believe in everyone finding the RIGHT fit therapist. Feel free to contact me and let's find out, together, if this could be a great fit.

I am licensed in Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Washington, Nevada, Iowa and Virginia with 7 years of professional work experience. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Lehman College. I have experience in helping clients with managing stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I treat adults ages 18+.

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

I’ve been working in the mental health field since earning my Masters of Science in Social Work degree with a specialization in Alcohol and Drug Counseling from the University of Louisville in 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults through challenges with mental health and substance use. Those experiences have given me the privilege of walking alongside people in some of the hardest and most transformative moments of their lives.
