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.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a career that began around 2008. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My background includes supporting adults with developmental disabilities, counseling at-risk youth, and working in psychiatric residential treatment, crisis care, hospital case management, and forensic mental health. I have also served as Director of Services for a youth crisis residential program, a sheriff’s deputy, and a military police officer.

Currently, I serve as a Lead Therapist in inpatient psychiatry, providing assessments, individualized treatment planning, and therapeutic support for people experiencing acute and complex mental health concerns. I collaborate with the treatment team to support stabilization and continuity of care and take on leadership responsibilities as needed.

I also provide outpatient therapy to military members and their families, drawing on my own military experience. Across my work, I help clients build coping skills, strengthen daily functioning, and move toward meaningful goals. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Washington.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC) who provides warm, supportive space for individuals seeking growth and healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns, using evidence based approaches tailored to each client. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and confident as they work toward meaningful change.

Hello! I’m Maureen, a Vanderbilt-trained PMHNP who is passionate about providing high-quality care to people from all walks of life. I particularly enjoy working with young adults, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and veterans. Some of the conditions I most enjoy treating include generalized anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with over 15 years of experience in counseling, holistic health coaching, and empowering others to live to their full potential. I am originally from Oregon and attended college in San Diego. My experiences have allowed me to work with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings and roles to include traditional in-office therapy, teletherapy, educational institutions, as well as the honor of being welcomed into clients' homes.

I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.

Hi, I’m Kristin, a compassionate licensed therapist passionate about helping people heal from life’s toughest experiences while rediscovering joy and lightness along the way. With 15 years of experience in mental health counseling, I am licensed in both Washington and New York State. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I specialize in trauma and PTSD integration, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and building emotional resilience—especially for those navigating complex past experiences. I bring warmth, empathy, and a great sense of humor to every session because laughter can be a powerful ally in healing—it helps lighten the load, build trust, and remind us that hope and humanity coexist even in hard times. Whether you’re in the Pacific Northwest dealing with burnout or deeper wounds, I’m here to support you with genuine care and gentle humor toward greater freedom and connection.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel a lot more human and a lot less like being talked at for 15 minutes and handed a prescription. My background includes emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing, so I’m naturally curious about the whole picture—not just a diagnosis on a chart.

I especially enjoy working with women dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PMDD, burnout, and the emotional chaos that can come with perimenopause and other major life transitions. My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, collaborative, and very much “you stay in the driver’s seat.”

I’m not interested in throwing medications at symptoms and hoping something sticks. I want to understand what is going on in your brain, your body, and your actual life so we can build a treatment plan that makes sense for you. Expect questions, education, honesty, a little humor when appropriate, and a provider who genuinely wants you to feel heard instead of dismissed!

I’ve spent 10 years working with teens and families, and I care deeply about helping people feel understood. I create a space where you can be yourself and feel a sense of belonging, without judgment. I value both family connection and your privacy. Most of all, I believe real change starts with a genuine, comfortable relationship.

Midlife got you spinning? Not feeling yourself? Empty nest blues?

Midlife brings an undercurrent of change that few are completely prepared for. For decades, your time, energy, and identity may have been anchored by familiar roles—running a busy household, climbing a career ladder, or maintaining long-standing family dynamics. When those roles shift by way of an empty nest, career evolution, relationship changes, or retirement, the silence left behind can feel surprisingly heavy.

Many expect to feel a sense of relief or simple pride during this season. Instead, it’s incredibly common to find yourself wrestling with grief, anxiety, or a persistent question: Who am I now?

If you are feeling disconnected from your purpose, uncertain about the future, or struggling to adjust to a new pace of life, you are not alone. You haven’t lost yourself; you are simply navigating the space between who you once were and who you are becoming.

Areas of Focus

• Midlife Transitions & Role Shifts
• Self-Discovery & Identity Reconstruction
• Empty Nest Adjustment
• Grief, Loss, and Navigating Change
• Anxiety, Stress, and Uncertainty About the Future

My goal is to help you reconnect with your core self—not just through the roles you play for others, but as a whole person with your own distinct needs, interests, and dreams. Remember when you had needs? This isn't about starting over from scratch; it’s about reconstructing your life so that it feels deeply meaningful, aligned, and fulfilling for the years ahead.
