Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bellingham, WA

I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.

I am a board-certified, doctorally educated, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and owner of TTS. I started my career as a RN in 2006 and have practiced as an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) since 2018. I have managed medications for most psychiatric and substance use disorders. I have counseled patients with psychological and addictive disorders. I have over two years of direct experience providing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) services for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health disorders.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

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.
