If you are looking for a change in your life - this is it. We all have seasons in our life where it is hard to manage, hard to deal with, and hard to figure out on our own. Sometimes we just can't cope with all the challenges of daily life and need someone to help navigate and offer a fresh new look. Doesn't matter what you are looking for, we can problem-solve it together and get you feeling better soon!

I provide a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that combines standard "talk therapy" with Jungian-based tools and art/play therapy approaches that allow for greater exploration of the unconscious. With 25 years counseling experience using a variety of therapy techniques I have found this combination works far better than other approaches for getting good results. I work with clients ages 5 and up, as well as with couples and families. Please see my website www.utherapy,net for full details on me and my practice.

In my psychotherapy practice with adolescents, men, women and families the focus is typically on issues such as behavioral concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD and anger. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with respect and honesty and that therapy should start where the client is at. Additionally, each client has their own ways of gaining insight and implementing new patterns into their lives and will have their own pace at which they discover the strengths within themselves. I like to work with the client to discover what is most effective for them and go from there.

For over 30 years I have worked with a variety of patients and client groups, including: the military, the school district, hospitals, dialysis, hospice and cancer navigation. It has been a tremendous joy to see the growth in services and the focus on continuity of care - a true vision of mine. I believe we can best care for our patients and clients by empowering them to care for themselves.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with intense emotions and/or behaviors that feel out of control. My approach is flexible and collaborative, working with the person or persons to tailor treatment to help them reach their desired therapy goals.

Treating all clients with dignity and respect, I work to aid each individual in determining their own path forward. Whether we are working to pioneer new meaning to life events; discover, develop, and achieve long-term goals; or address short-term problems, here is a safe environment for a wide variety of personal needs.

After over 25 years working and living in rural and urban Alaska as a teacher, painter and counselor, I saw the need to offer counseling outside conventional settings. The Dome Arts house is a second home located in a quiet, historic neighborhood. It includes a playroom, working art studio, comfortable living room area, small kitchen and sunny, peaceful backyard with garden. I am dedicated to creating and maintaining an atmosphere which encourages reflection, healing and growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a strengths-based approach in helping clients reach personal goals for well-being.

As an adult survivor of child abuse who overcame a hard childhood to create success, you are good at problem solving and powering through, but you experience a disconnection from your feelings, your body, and your relationships. You are good at pulling it together, putting your feelings aside and focusing to get things done. When you aren’t numb inside, you feel anxious until you find a way to numb out again. Sometimes the things you do to numb out: over-drinking, overeating, overworking, make you feel worse. You love your partner, but you often feel far away from them emotionally. It’s hard to receive touch from someone you love.
