Are you determined to make a change, grow, or heal in 2026? Change is hard, and talking about our pasts, present, or the experiences of trauma, anxiety, emotional stress, grief, relationship issues, or depression can be heavy! If you have been on the fence about counseling, and you've been battling this on your own, you might be ready for support to continue what you've already begun. Client-centered, trauma-informed care is at your fingertips and you are not alone. Therapy is a collaborative, supportive, nonjudgmental relationship which focuses on your strengths and abilities to enable you to achieve your goals, not just problems.
Therapy is tailored individually to you and your needs, and is premised on building up strengths and empowerment while processing struggles. I provide an eclectic and holistic therapy approach blending attachment- and trauma-focused CBT and brainspotting to address a range of mental health issues, relationship struggles, and trauma.
I welcome you to come just as you are from the comfort and safety of your own space anywhere in Alaska. I make every effort to provide a personal, comforting, supportive and empowering space that allows YOU to help set the pace. Please email to set up a consultation or intake.

Many issues (stress, anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, anger, relationship problems, difficulty adjusting to change) stem from past experiences, traumas, and internalized fears. Building trust and openness is always the first goal, increasing confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem while processing issues is the second.
