"Freedom is what you do with what has been done to you," (Jean-Paul Sartre). We all have had things done to us. These things do not define us - the key is what we do with them afterward. I believe each and every person has what they need right inside of them; thus my job is not to fix or change, but to teach the skills to help you tap into that inner source. The answers you are looking for are available and can be found.

I have been practicing Marital and Family Therapy in the Anchorage, Alaska, area since 1976. Over the years as my career has advanced I have focused mostly on working in the areas of Marital, Pre-Marital, Divorce and Co-Parenting. My training as well as my life experiences have molded my professional identity as a marriage and family therapist. It is of utmost importance for me to maintain a consciousness about the differences that each and every client and couple presents. We each have our own individual story and map that we bring to our relationship journey.

I understand the anxiety often associated with going to a therapist for the first time. There are times in life we all could benefit from talking with a professional trained to help us process difficult emotions. In a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic partnership, I incorporate a variety of methods to help clients problem-solve and work through challenges to a better mental health.

My approach to therapy relies on establishing a collaborative relationship with my patient(s) so that we can work together to identify the habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that keep you from enjoying the quality of life you would like for yourself. I create a supportive environment that allows you the patient to talk openly without fear of judgment. By the time you leave therapy you will not only have solved the problem that brought you in, but you will take away a set of skills that will help you effectively cope with whatever challenges life may present in the future.

Confidentiality, trust, and therapeutic compatibility are essential for the successful resolution of a person's problems in counseling and psychotherapy. They form the foundation for an honest dialogue between client and therapist that enhances a person's ability to deal with what is true in their life. As a therapist, my job is to help clients identify and resolve those truths and move on, feeling better about themselves and more confident in their ability to handle the difficult problems and challenges that life presents.

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.

I am a telehealth provider across Washington State, and I am currently accepting new clients. In life, unexpected things happen. Challenges and bumps in the road are all part of it.

I am deeply committed to the transformative power of therapy as the cornerstone of my treatment approach. While I maintain a multifaceted interest in human welfare, including the impacts of abuse and neglect, family engagement, parent training, and trauma throughout the lifespan, therapy remains central to my practice. Catering to children, young adults and individuals, I utilize an integrated, person-centered methodology, infused with trauma-informed and multi-cultural perspectives.

There are times when we get stuck in the pain of sadness, discouragement, and disappointment. Sometimes we can shake ourselves out of it. Other times we may feel overwhelmed. When these feelings get in the way of being the person we want to be, having the relationships we want, or getting what we want out of life, you are not alone. Reach out for help. I am an Expressive Arts Therapist, and I guide individuals through painful times to come out the other side. Together, we use different art forms to help you identify and express how you are feeling. This is not art making. It is self-expression leading to insight and healing.
