Grief counselors and therapists in Washington

Psychotherapy provides a safe place to discuss fears, thoughts, and difficult decisions we as humans must make during our journey in life. I believe we are capable of making life changes with the right tools. I am here to listen without judgement. I believe we all have a story to share. Being heard is one of the most important aspects of communication.

My passion is working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. By sharing your story, we can begin to process the trauma from experience to a new understanding, while remaining in the present.

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing for over 25 years. After getting my Masters in Social Work in 2000, I spent many years working in medical social work, helping people who were living with chronic health conditions. I also have worked in hospice and am able to provide support with grief and loss, as well as emotional support for family caregivers. I offer a safe space to process difficult emotions, as well as stress reduction through mindfulness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained? You're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it alone. With many years in the mental health field, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy, with a focus on helping individuals manage anxiety, depression and helping with self esteem issues.

Welcome! and thank you for taking the time to do this step for yourself.

Hi, I’m Maddie, a mental health counselor who works with teens, and young adults navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and identity development. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University and have a background in English Literature from Western Washington University. I’ve worked within the Bellingham counseling community and value supporting individuals in a place I’ve long called home.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and identity exploration, and have experience supporting neurodivergent clients. My approach is strengths-based, developmentally responsive, and collaborative.

I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.
