I believe in building strong connections with my clients. From this foundation, we can identify challenges and address patterns that no longer serve you, allowing us to make meaningful progress toward your goals. Together, we will work gently but steadily to ensure lasting change.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management, life transitions, identity exploration, pregnancy, parenting, and adapting to parenthood. I also support individuals navigating depression, grief, loss, chronic illness, infertility, and assisted reproductive technologies. My personal experience with infertility has fueled my passion for helping others in this area, inspiring me to pursue additional postgraduate training and supervision.
I work with adults, teens, and children aged 10 and older. My approach is strength-based and trauma-informed, utilizing modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Hamilton College and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Catholic University. I began my career at The Jewish Board in New York City, where I provided therapy to clients of all ages, facilitated DBT groups, and was part of the LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy unit. I also trained other therapists in evidence-based modalities and served as a counselor at Stuyvesant High School. Since moving to Seattle, I have worked as a counselor at Lakeside School and have been in private practice since 2019.
Hilary is licensed in Washington and New York.
