I provide online individual, couples, and family therapy using a relational and narrative approach through Pinehurst Relationships Seattle. Based out of the Pinehurst neighborhood (98125) of North Seattle—right next door to Shoreline and Northgate—my telehealth services are available to clients throughout all of Washington State.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that our lives and relationships are deeply connected to the world around us. When a family dynamic feels tense, a couple loses their shared intimacy, or a child or teen gets stuck in a repetitive, draining loop, modern macro-stressors, grief, and overwhelm are usually magnifying the strain. I work to help you break the cyclical patterns that leave your relationships running on empty. If your primary bonds feel overwhelmed right now, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Education and experience: I hold a BA from the University of Washington (1985) and an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch Seattle (2022). My clinical roots include a dedicated internship in community mental health in Edmonds and an associate residency at a Seattle group practice. Outside the office, I recharge by gardening, walking with my partner, and heading out on PNW trail adventures with our hiking cat, Jasper.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Washington, and I have worked in the mental health field for six years.
