Therapists in Tacoma, WA

In a world that can often feel heavy with forces pushing and pulling us downward in so many directions it can feel all too easy to lose track of your true self. Feeling confused and asking how did I get here? Or why me? Or, I just want to get back to myself, but I don’t even know who I am anymore. You are not alone and there is a way. I work with individuals who struggle with these same questions. Questions that arise from the struggles with trauma, anxiety, depression, attention, autism, and others. My counseling services focus on addressing the integrated person.

Fourth Dimension Counseling & Coaching is group practice of therapists and coaches who specialize in addiction including alcohol and drug addiction, sex addiction, pornography addiction, love addiction and partner betrayal trauma.

They also have extensive training in couples therapy, infidelity, codependency, family of origin, women's issues, domestic violence, trauma and life transitions. We offer individual, couples and group therapy and coaching for both men and women.

Embarking on your healing journey is no small task. It is my hope that you feel seen, safe and emboldened in your connections through our work together. You can expect me to be honest, compassionate, humorous, and deeply curious with you on your journey towards you and your family’s goals. I come with a socio-emotional approach, which looks at the ways our relating to others and ourselves has been shaped by culture and context. Slowly untangling our own stories from the stories we’ve been told about who we are is done through a steady, gentle, compassionate and collaborative rhythm.

Everything from the anxieties of imposter syndrome, the unknowns of new relationships, to struggles understanding gender/sexual identity; life can be so difficult to navigate while staying true to oneself. It can be even more difficult to find spaces that don't stigmatize and shame. Inside us all, we carry a capacity for change and a unspoken need for growth. Therapy is a journey to develop a greater sense of self to move foward in more meaningful directions.

***I accept First Choice Health insurance, which frequently contracts with some Kaiser plans.

As a WA State Certified DV Provider, I am now offering Court Ordered Evaluations.

I work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, including various populations that encompass sign language users.

I love working with all different types of people wanting to change how they respond to life. My ideal clients want to learn how to respond to life, rather than react to life. The last four years have been hard and everyone can benefit from therapy. The couples I work best are seeking help with their sex life. A lot of couples I work with are also seeking help related to Polyamory/ENM and or Kink. I am happy to work with individuals, couples, and different and varying relationship designs and configurations.

As a psychologist, I seek to provide guidance in identifying strategies and solutions for tapping into your inner strengths and capacity for positive change. I have found that a positive therapeutic relationship serves an important role in accessing the resilience, insight, and courage needed to make important lifestyle changes that allow individuals and families to live happier, healthier, and more balanced lives. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where positive change occurs when we work together to identify strategies that will allow you to adaptively manage and overcome difficult life challenges. I strive to create a safe place by providing unconditional support.
