Navigating a difficult relationship, struggling with a life transition, or just unsure how to proceed in making your life what you want it to be? I provide a supportive and totally non-judgmental environment for you to explore your options and figure out concrete ways to move forward.
For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained? You're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it alone. With many years in the mental health field, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy, with a focus on helping individuals manage anxiety, depression and helping with self esteem issues. I began my career in community mental health, where I gained deep insight into the challenges people face and the strength it takes to seek help.
The stories we carry about our relationships deeply influence how we connect. At Pinehurst Relationships, I serve individuals, couples, and families in North Seattle and across Washington State. I believe your struggle is part of your story—but it isn’t the whole story. You don’t have to stay confined to a chapter defined by conflict, distance, or misunderstanding.

My online practice brings a narrative, relational, and systemic approach, helping you shift away from old, stuck patterns, rebuild connection, and find steady emotional ground. Whether you are navigating these heavy chapters as a couple, looking to strengthen a partnership, or seeking individual therapy for relationship issues, let's re-author your story together. If you are seeking a narrative framework to help rewrite family conflict or looking for support and family therapy with a child age 7+, we will map out a path forward.
