Sarah Matsuura, LMHC
My years of mental health experience has helped me understand that most people experience trauma at some point in their lives, and how important compassion is to healing. This has led me to specialized training in EMDR and fuels my passion to keep learning how to be trauma informed. As an Asian American, I love connecting with people of all backgrounds, cultures, and stories.
Outside of work, I do my best to be outside hiking, paddle boarding, playing tennis, or going on walks. You’ll frequently hear me talk about my cats, dog, husband, and mental health experience. My love languages are pet pics and memes, so please share! I’m originally from Minnesota and have called Bellingham home since 2018.

Jessica Irwin, LICSWA
As a mental health counselor, I am passionate about working with adults with a history of trauma, especially those with childhood trauma and ongoing stressors. Your story matters, and I am here to listen and partner alongside you as you discover meaning and healing in your journey. I have training in EMDR, IFS, somatic work, DBT, etc. and carry certifications as a Trauma Professional and in Neuropsychotherapy.
In my personal life, I am an avid equestrian and enjoy spending time with my Arabian horse, Kai, along with my 3 cats! I love spending time in nature and engaging in hiking, golfing, playing tennis or pickleball, and yoga. I’m also a Bellingham native and proudly cheer for the Huskies, Seahawks, and Mariners!
