Grief Therapists in Seattle, WA
Relationships and systems can be as uplifting and liberating as much as they can be minimizing and painful. Humans have a beautiful tendency to feel a lot of things which can lead to issues in communication, understanding, anxiety, and depression but it is our capacity to develop relationships with these different parts of ourselves through curiosity, compassion, and empathy that help us heal. Therapy is a way to find our interconnected parts and how we relate to ourselves and others.

I want to understand the struggles you’ve had in your life: how you’ve been hurt, how you’ve gained strength and coping abilities, and what your journey has been in becoming the person that you are. I want to know how your coping habits are working in your current life situations; to strengthen those that are serving you well, and to help you shift negative patterns that are blocking you from getting what you need from your life and relationships. I want to help you increase your self-understanding, and to help you feel empowered to make conscious choices that serve the highest direction for your life.

I work with individuals and couples who are wrestling with their identities, experiencing grief, navigating life transitions, deconstructing their faith, struggling in their family dynamics and relationships, and/or navigating stress, anxiety and depression.
I’m a relational depth-oriented therapist which means that I believe our therapeutic relationship is the transformative engine in therapy for long-term healing. I hold faith in and listen deeply for the inner wisdom of my clients that is sometimes overlooked because of doubt, shame, trauma, and external voices that promote self-abandonment. I believe this work is sacred and that it is as much about creating more capacity for joy and vitality as it is about processing harm. I consider it an honor to journey with each person who walks into our shared therapeutic space.

I have been a psychotherapist working in the Mental Health field since 1994.

My passion has always been doing therapy and helping people have better lives. The process of therapy and success needs to be defined by the patient. My style of therapy after 25 years is my own.

You may be considering therapy because you are feeling unbalanced, untethered & unanchored due to all that you're carrying. Maybe you are finding your breaths to be more shallow lately. Perhaps your brain feels foggy & bogged down. You may be angry, enraged & worn down by oppressive, unjust, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist & ableist systems. All of this may be taking a toll on how you are able to show up as your true, authentic self. You may be a parent who is feeling overwhelmed by all the demands placed upon you, & you may be feeling like no matter what you do it is never enough.

Grappling with anxiety, depression, grief or a significant life transition can feel all consuming.
My approach is patient, compassionate, genuine and attentive. As our trusting therapy relationship grows, so can the potential for insight, new perspectives, self-compassion, confidence, and the courage to try new behaviors. Outside relationships can begin to grow and shift naturally, as can times of deeper connection, peace and joy.

I have extensive experience working with traumatic bereavement due to the death of someone to suicide, homicide, accident or any other sudden unexpected death as well as grief resulting from a wide array of losses.
As humans, we inherently seek balance. The more resilient we are the more adept we are at bouncing back when life throws us a curve. Sometimes, however, help is needed in righting ourselves. Grounded in my own life experience, my professional experience, and possessing a variety of skills, I can help with that process.

If you are navigating boundaries, identity, grief, relationship difficulties, or cultural disconnection, I offer relational therapy that centers your full humanity.
Accepting Individuals and Couples — Virtual Only
My clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who are doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck. They may carry responsibility for others, struggle with boundaries, overthink decisions, or feel disconnected from themselves. Many are navigating identity, relationship complexity, or life transitions. They want honest support, deeper healing, and a space where they do not have to translate themselves or minimize their story.

Whether you're carrying wounds of grief or trauma, or you're curious about your nervous system and somatic healing...
Healing is a process of integrating the many parts that comprise the whole of you. I support that process by utilizing trauma-responsive modalities, somatic therapy, mindfulness and neurobiology, along with heart-felt empathy for the messy experience of being human.

It's about naming the anxiety or grief that is getting in the way and getting unstuck.
I know you have little to no energy, but here you are, reading this. I know you love your child, and that you are doing your best - Because here you are, looking for help! I work with moms and dads who are drained, anxious, and ambitious. Parents who are tired of feeling anxious and searching the internet for parenting hacks and gadgets. Your energy is limited, and your time is so very precious. Decide that today is the day I get some real support.

I believe therapy is a tool that can help us find things like joy, self-love, clarity, and fun amidst a world where certain realities are appropriately met with feelings of anger, fear, worry, grief, and pain.
Hi! I'm Fox and I absolutely love what I do. Over the last ten years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past + current trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities.
In session, we are a team: I bring knowledge and tools to help water seeds already planted (and maybe help plant new ones or gently dig out old ones). With couples, my goal is to help each person identify their needs and communicate them effectively so you're confident in the decisions you make moving forward, regardless of the outcome.

Many of the people I work with are navigating grief and loss, the aftereffects of trauma, or long-standing habits of self-criticism, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm.
You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. I want to help you make sense of what’s happening internally and how it shapes the way you treat yourself and others. My work is grounded in helping people build a more compassionate relationship with themselves, especially when that feels unfamiliar, difficult, or out of reach.
