I believe in helping people and bringing awareness to people who struggle with mental health challenges.

From working with clients in foster care and low socioeconomics status, to probation of clients who feel that their past has already determine their future. I would love to be that voice in helping you see that you can be successful. I would also like to empowered parents working with their kids by educating them on challenges and providing resources that is helpful in supporting their kid.

Are you creative and intelligent, but organizationally challenged, sitting at Procrastination Station, tired of losing things, forgetting appointments and deadlines, a little bit like Dory in Finding Nemo with the short term memory loss?

I’ve spent many years working with clients who have, at times, felt overworked and overwhelmed by life’s expectations. If you have ever found yourself struggling with important roles at work, at home, and in your community, I am here to guide you and assist in learning to balance it all while staying healthy and happy.

While it is often said that everyone has their own mountains to climb, and dark nights to get through, I firmly believe that seeking and accepting support is the key to conquering any obstacle. Therapy is a courageous step towards embracing personal growth and harnessing inner strength. Drawing from my experience, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a person-centered, strengths-based approach in my practice. These evidence-based modalities provide a solid foundation for fostering transformative change and equipping individuals with the tools they need to overcome personal hurdles.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in persistent pain psychology. At the heart of pain psychology, I believe in listening to the patient’s pain narrative and taking the time to hear their story of how pain began and developed over the course of time, and how it has impacted their every day functioning. This may include your relationships with loved ones, school, work, sleep, your ability to engage in simple every day tasks, or the impact of the negative stigma you have encountered as a result of having pain, any combination of the above, and more.

My goal for all the services I provide is to build a relationship that creates a safe and non-judgmental environment for you. At the heart of my practice is the belief in the potential for every individual, despite their circumstances, to live a healthy and meaningful life. It is a privilege to hear your story, to help you understand where you come from and how that may be impacting you today. Using tools brought in from PCT, DBT, and SFT, I tailor my approach around you, working to meet your strengths, your unique needs, and your goals, helping you make the changes you want to see in your life as you move forward.

Many people I meet with began therapy because life became overwhelming. People pleasing, perfectionism, and “holding it together” for everyone else left them at a loss. Hiding their imperfections and needs did not lead to better relationships, it actually led to more stress, worry, and feeling alone. I’ve sat with people who have difficulty knowing even the seemingly simplest things about themselves, like where they’d like to go to dinner, or what color looks good on them. All of this reflecting a deeper problem.

My focus is on working with individuals and families helping them become whole again. I have lived in Alaska on and off for 20 years, grew up in Minnesota, military spouse for 20 years, and have two young adult children. I work from a variety of therapeutic frameworks to help achieve holistic harmony and wellness. I have been a therapist for many years with children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities that focus on a client's strengths as well as regaining balance such as EMDR, Somatic (SPI), EFT, CT, CBT, DBT and solution focused therapies.

I have lived in Alaska over 10 years and have worked in a variety of mental health and behavioral health settings including: community mental health centers, local schools, adolescent substance abuse treatment centers, the child advocacy center and juvenile detention and probation offices. My clinical approaches are tailored to the needs of my clients and are rooted in trauma-informed, solution-focused, and person-centered orientations. I am certified in Trauma-Informed Expressive Art Therapy (TI-EAT) and trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Structural and Strategic Therapy, and Narrative Therapies among others.

Welcome to Lighted Path Therapy Services, LLC. Sometimes we face obstacles in our life that make us feel as though we just want to give up. Relationships, personal goals, happiness and life satisfaction can sometimes feel so far out of reach and impossible that it leads to feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and frustration. But there is hope! Hope for your personal goals, hope for your relationships and hope for a life of joy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in both Alaska and Oregon. I have a MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University in 2007, and have worked in the mental health field for nearly 20 years. I use a trauma informed framework and believe in the intrinsic ability for each individual to heal, find their own path and create a life of meaning. It is possible to go from not only just "surviving" and coping, but to truly thrive. Generational healing, changing patterns and post traumatic growth is absolutely attainable.
