ABOUT maggie

EMDR Therapist, Children’s Grief Specialist, certified child life specialist she/her

Maggie supports people through the difficult seasons in their lives, helping them develop new perspectives and strengths. She has extensive training working with trauma, child development, grief & loss, disability, chronic illness, and school struggles. Maggie is also co-founder of the children’s grief program Lion’s Heart Spokane, and offers grief therapy for children and parenting support for their families. She also enjoys working with and supporting our LGBTQ+ community.

Maggie helps clients find the words to explain complex situations in age-appropriate ways, and to help parents stay connected to their children through challenging family experiences. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Play Therapy techniques, and Expressive Arts Therapies in working with all ages.

Maggie’s clinical work focuses on helping her clients identify those experiences that have shaped them, creating the space they need to transform past trauma and pain into resilience, strength, and emotional well-being. She believes that when there aren’t words, there are other ways to explore and make sense of our personal experiences, and to move forward with new confidence.
