Therapists in Central, Tacoma, WA
I focus on helping my clients understand and heal attachment issues, processing of trauma, resolving parenting difficulties, and work/life conflicts. My goal is to give my clients a place to feel safe to discuss the stresses and troubles they may be experiencing. Although I counsel people of all ages, I particularly enjoy seeing children under the age of 18. I also like to provide support for parents and help the family achieve regulation by improving understanding and communication between family members.

Does this sound familiar? You spend your days providing for everyone else - your kids, your partner, your boss, your friends or family. Constantly tending to the needs and expectations of others, all the while feeling resentment and overwhelm build because said needs and expectations have become too much for you manage. Sure, on the outside you’re doing is fine. Maybe even better than fine! Perhaps you have everything you thought you wanted…but when you take a moment to pause and examine your life you’re left wondering “is this it" and "If it is…why do I feel so overwhelmed and disconnected?”

Have you found that talk therapy isn't successful for you? Micro Current Neurofeedback uses micro current stimulation that allows for the release of stuck patterns and disentrains the brain where needed. The result is a shifted brainwave state and a much greater ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself. Utilizing the brain’s own neuroplasticity, individuals experience a more symptom-free, fulling, positive life.
