“Seeing” each other online, through telehealth on our “smart phones” has created a continuity of care never thought possible. Living in rural Alaska often creates transportation issues, but with telehealth we eliminate this problem. I used to call my mom every morning to check in with her, get some love and advice and a hug through the phone. Therapy can be just as simple. I look forward to connecting with you from the comfort my home, to the comfort of yours. A whole new meaning to “safe place” has been created through the ease of telehealth. Give me a call and lets start chatting…

Adolescence to early adulthood can be a really difficult time to navigate. It’s where we begin the path of self-discovery, establish our personal identities, form relationships, and look to the future. While these can all be very exciting things, they are often also quite challenging and accompanied by stress, conflict, strained relationships, and a whole lot of change. Through a person-centered and collaborative approach, I strive to help individuals strengthen their core beliefs, self-worth, and confidence within themselves.

Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression? On the surface things have been going ok but it feels like you are masking at work, at home and with friends. Underneath the mask is the feeling that you don’t really belong, constant anxiety, imposter syndrome and a bit of perfectionism. Perhaps you’ve learned that to keep up appearances that people-pleasing and putting other people’s needs ahead of your own feels safer than being seen. The feelings of being too much and not enough plague you. You are tired of keeping this up and want to break free into your authentic self but something keeps holding you back.

Are you depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by your feelings? Do you have "stuff" you need to deal with so you can find meaning and purpose in life again?
