I work with individuals and couples 18 years and older experiencing challenges around sexuality, gender identity or gender roles, and within their relationships. I counsel from a framework of anti-oppression and intersectional feminism and I support people of all genders and sexual orientations.

In addition, I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and who are acknowledging their trauma. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Alaska.

Expect more from therapy. It is possible to heal rapidly and permanently from the impacts of trauma, gambling, substance use, and relationship addiction/codependence.

“Life is not about how many times you fall down. It’s about how many times you get back up.”- Jaime Escalante. Do you remember what it feels like to live your life to the fullest? Greet every day with a smile, knowing that you're going to be OK no matter what life throws at you? To feel content in your essence and in your body? I work with clients who feel like they have lost "pieces of themselves" along the way during difficult/traumatic childhood or life events, grief, break-ups/divorces/ abusive relationships, struggles with depression, anxiety, phobias, attachment traumas etc.

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.

As a clinical therapist I am committed to treating the whole person; spirit, mind, and body. I am an EMDR provider and facilitate holistic treatment to adults, adolescents, and couples with a variety of needs.

Being human is difficult. But you don't have to do it alone. I am here to offer support as a "fellow traveler" in life and therapy. None of us thrive in isolation. I view therapy, in part, as helping people make sense of being human. I aim to provide a safe space so clients can show up authentically and feel seen, heard, and understood along the way.

Often people begin looking for a counselor when things in their life haven’t been going the way they want. Perhaps you’re struggling with worrying about the future, or stuck thinking about the past. Maybe something feels missing, or maybe you feel lost and unsure how to move forward in your life. Or like many, perhaps you’re sitting there wishing life came with directions so you could start sorting out the storm of thoughts, emotions, and memories you face each day. If so, I want you to know you don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to help.
