In short

Grief and loss therapy at Counseling Services for Wellbeing supports Seattle-area adults carrying the death of someone close, prolonged or complicated grief, anticipatory grief and losses that are not a death, like divorce, estrangement, a hard diagnosis or miscarriage. We do not put a timeline on your grief or ask you to get over it. We accept most major insurance plans, book same-week first appointments and meet you at our Green Lake, Burien and Smokey Point offices or by secure video statewide.

Does this sound familiar?

The world moved on and you are still standing in it.

The casseroles stopped coming. The texts asking how you are slowed down. Everyone around you seems to have folded back into ordinary life, and you are still moving through the day with a weight nobody can see. You catch yourself reaching for the phone to tell them something before you remember.

Maybe people have started to hint that it has been a while, that you should be further along by now. Maybe you have heard that they are in a better place, that everything happens for a reason, that time heals. None of it touches the actual shape of what you lost. Some days the grief is quiet and some days it knocks you flat with no warning, and you have started to wonder if something is wrong with you for still feeling it this much.

There is nothing wrong with you. Grief is not a problem to be solved or a timeline to be hit. You do not have to get over them. The work is finding a way to carry them with you and still move with your life.

What we offer

Grief therapy for adults carrying a loss the world expects them to be over.

The death of someone close

A partner, a parent, a child, a sibling, a friend. The fresh loss and the kind that still aches years on.

Grief that feels stuck

Months or years on and it stays as raw as week one. Prolonged or complicated grief that will not loosen its grip.

Anticipatory grief

A loved one in hospice or living with a terminal diagnosis. Grieving someone who is still here, and carrying the caregiving too.

Traumatic and sudden loss

A death that was sudden, violent or witnessed. When the way it happened keeps overshadowing the person you are grieving.

Loss that is not a death

Divorce, estrangement from family, a hard diagnosis, infertility or miscarriage, a move that took your whole life with it.

Grief that surfaces as something else

Numbness, irritability, broken sleep, a body that will not settle. When the loss is showing up everywhere but in words.

First-time-therapy adults are welcome. You do not need to have words for the loss before you reach out.

Our approach

How grief therapy works here.

We meet your grief where it actually is, making room for the loss and the person you are grieving, rather than steering you toward a tidy ending.

Reach out

A short form or a call. We hear who or what you lost, how the grief is showing up and what you have already been carrying. No assessment battery, no need to explain why it still hurts.

Get matched

We pair you with a therapist whose approach fits your loss. Grief-informed and meaning-centered work for making room for the loss. EMDR when the way a death happened keeps the grief locked. The right fit, not the next open slot.

Start this week

First appointment in person at one of three Seattle-area offices or by secure video anywhere in Washington. Same therapist each session. The early sessions are about telling the story of what you lost and being met in it, at your pace.

The approach

Support to carry it, not get over it.

Grief-informed therapy gives the loss room to be what it is, and meaning-centered work helps you stay connected to the person or life you lost while you find your way forward. For grief that stays stuck, we draw on approaches developed for prolonged and complicated grief, which the American Psychological Association notes can keep mourning intense long after a loss.

Grief-informed and meaning-centered work for making room for the loss. EMDR for traumatic loss when the memory itself is keeping the grief locked. CBT for the guilt and intrusive thoughts that can travel with it. We match the approach to your loss, and we never put a clock on it.

Welcome to my practice.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. These are everyday human experiences. It can be frightening to reach out for help, so choosing to do something about it now and showing up for yourself is the most powerful first step you can take. I’m here to help you through your next steps.

As a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space for adults and older adults working through life’s transitions. My approach is grounded in a person-centered, trauma-informed framework, and I use a variety of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, motivational interviewing, expressive arts, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, to help you find what works best.

Together, we will explore your unique experiences and develop strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. I aim to empower you to build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and create a life that aligns with your values.

My Background

With a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at Austin, my clinical work has focused on supporting adults and older adults experiencing life transitions. I am particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I believe in the importance of creating a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development to ensure I provide my clients with the best possible care.

Our work will be a collaborative process centered on your needs and goals. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. We will work at your pace, building trust and rapport as we work through your journey together.

Welcome

Most people think you’re doing fine. You show up, get through your day, and carry everything quietly. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together.

I see you. And you don’t have to do this alone.Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

But therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an act of courage. It is a space where you can finally exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel grounded, supported, and understood again.

Background:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches.

My path into this work comes from a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe that everyone carries a story, and within that story is resilience, strength, and the capacity for change.

As both a therapist and trauma-informed yoga instructor, I bring a mind-body perspective into my work, recognizing that healing is not just cognitive, but also emotional, physical, and nervous system-based.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, while also being honest and supportive. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including EMDR, somatic and body-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

I specialize in working with individuals working through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, women’s issues, and life transitions. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, build self-trust, develop healthier coping patterns, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong, worthy, and empowered.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and strength, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. Let’s begin that journey together

About Me

I’m a licensed Associate Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University (2015) and over a decade of experience helping people work through personal and professional transitions. My career has been focused on coaching and talent development, but I found myself drawn to deeper, more meaningful conversations, the kind that support real healing and transformation.

During my clinical training, I completed my practicum at Valley Cities, where I worked with individuals facing severe trauma, systemic oppression, and complex socioeconomic challenges. That experience deeply shaped my understanding of resilience and affirmed my commitment to creating a safe, affirming space for people from all walks of life.

Therapy, for me, is a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and compassion. I believe you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been buried under pain or pressure, and support you as you move toward healing.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate parts work and plan to offer EMDR soon to help clients process trauma and reclaim their inner strength. Whether you prefer practical tools and structure or a slower, reflective space, I tailor sessions to meet your needs.

Above all, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can be real, messy parts and all. Healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and respected. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you understand your story and build a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and whole.

I offer in-person therapy in Washington state, as well as online and phone sessions for Washington residents. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious if therapy could help, I’d be honored to hold space for you.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with experience in working with youth and young adults. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I tailor to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. My practice is trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, collaboration, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.

I believe that everything in life is about finding balance. Therapy, to me, is about working towards the balance of mental and emotional health. We are all human, and life is unpredictable, which brings with it many stressors and causes mental distress. Therapy is a tool you can use to develop coping and positive relationship skills to support yourself in becoming a healthier version of yourself.

From an early age and throughout different stages of my life, I experienced trauma in various forms. The experiences that I had caused me to seek support for myself and later sparked a desire to help support others in the process of finding their balance of mental and emotional health.

In 2007, I began volunteering with at-risk youth who were part of the child welfare system and exhibited behavioral issues. After doing this for a couple of years, I realized I was passionate about working with youth and others who had experienced trauma. In 2016, I went to school intending to work in social welfare and eventually clinical therapy practice.

In 2019, I completed a year-long internship with King County Juvenile Court as a probation counselor. Since then, I have worked professionally with youth involved in our criminal justice and child welfare systems as an employee at Echo Glen Children’s Center and the Department of Child Welfare. Since beginning in therapy, I have worked with clients in offices and provided in-school services to children, youth, and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, family conflict, as well as trauma and loss. I have a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Washington Tacoma.

About my approach: My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based. I believe in empowering my clients to actively participate in their healing

journey. Together, we set achievable goals and work towards them using evidence-based techniques. My empathetic and non-judgmental demeanor allows clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, leading to deeper insights and lasting positive changes.

Frequently asked questions

What adults ask before starting grief therapy.

Do you take my insurance for grief therapy?

We accept Kaiser, Premera, Regence, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna. Coverage for therapy can work differently by plan, so we will confirm exactly what your plan covers before your first session. You will not be left guessing about cost.

How soon can I be seen?

First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out. Grief does not wait for a four to six week waitlist, and you should not have to either. Reach out and we will find the first opening that fits.

Is there a right amount of time to grieve?

No. We do not put a timeline on your grief or treat a longer mourning as a problem to fix. Some people come in weeks after a loss and some come in years later. Grief moves at its own pace, and the work is about finding a way to carry it, not getting over it on a schedule.

Do you work with losses that are not a death?

Yes. Divorce, estrangement from family, a hard diagnosis, infertility or miscarriage, a move or a major identity shift can all carry real grief, and so can other large life transitions. We make room for the losses that others may not name as grief, including the loss of what you hoped would happen.

What is complicated or prolonged grief?

Sometimes grief stays stuck, with the loss feeling as raw as the first week, intrusive memories or a sense that you cannot move with the day. We work with grief that feels stuck or layered, including multiple losses close together, without pathologizing the depth of what you feel. When low mood settles in alongside it, depression therapy can be folded in.

Do you offer EMDR for traumatic loss?

Yes. When a death was sudden, violent or you witnessed it, the memory itself can keep the grief locked. EMDR is available on the team for traumatic loss and trauma, so the way it happened stops overshadowing the person you are grieving.

Do you offer grief therapy online or only in person?

Both. You can meet in person at our Green Lake, Burien or Smokey Point offices, or by secure video anywhere in Washington with online therapy. The same therapist either way. On the heavy days when leaving the house feels like too much, video is a real option, not a downgrade.

Take the next step

You do not have to carry this alone, and you do not have to be over it first.
