Therapists in Alaska

The secret suffering we all experience is rarely laid bare for one another, yet we know it's shared. Feedback that I have received is that I am "blunt, but with a heart." I respectfully and directly refer to and discuss the suffering and its sources. I have extensive experience working with youth and their families, include in my field of interest improving communication within couples, coping skills for individuals struggling with a variety of mental health and interpersonal issues, teach and facilitate effective communication through a Circle model, and focus always on a client's relationship with the self.

My focus is to work collaboratively with you to find a unique and individualized process or solution that would take you further along in your healing journey.

It is a privilege to work with individuals in my home-state of Alaska. Folks that find their way to me are often looking for ways to address past trauma, improve quality of relationships, prevent relapse and/or address substance use, explore and change patterns of codependency in relationships, express and advocate new boundaries, process grief and loss, and discover options for improved overall quality of life. I coordinate care with other providers when necessary to offer a holistic approach to the whole person, with support for as many facets of your life as possible.

You may be feeling discouraged, but it can get better. Have you tried therapy before and found it uncomfortable, unhelpful, or worse yet, harmful, or culturally irrelevant? When working with me you have a free consultation to see if we are a good fit because there is no "one size fits all." Healing occurs within the framework of a relationship between a counselor and the client. I am humbled to have the opportunity to help people envision possibilities and achieve new realities.

Since 2005, I’ve been working in the field of counseling and school psychology. My degrees include a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, two Masters, one being in Marriage Family Therapy and the other in Educational Counseling with thousands of hours of work with individuals and families. I’m licensed as a professional counselor.

My goal is to support individuals looking to explore their relationship with substances, treat trauma and disordered eating, identify ways to manage depression and anxiety, guide individuals through life transitions, and to support an individuals unique recovery process. As a person with lived experience, I offer a unique perspective in the therapeutic relationship that normalizes experiencing life challenges as well as life successes. I am a proponent for mindfulness, pranayama, and spirituality on the healing journey and I hold those approaches while also advocating for self-defined recovery.

I am dedicated to helping people overcome personal challenges, establish healthy balance and achieve lasting change through mindfulness-based approaches. These practices are very helpful for clients faced with issues such as anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress symptoms, depression, relationship/family issues, stress-related physical problems and life transitions.

To that end I have trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques, in the belief that no one size fits all.

People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes it's an overwhelming sense of loneliness or lack of direction. Often it's a result of major life changes, loss, psychological injuries, or specific issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, or grief. I offer a private, safe, and confidential environment for you to explore your concerns, find relief and to bring joy and passion back into your life. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of self-discovery, healing and wellness!

We all have times where we need someone to listen. Sometimes, we don't even know why we feel unsettled. We are not broken or need to be fixed. We have the capacity to heal inside of ourselves. My job is to assist clients to find that voice inside, that "self" leadership that is our best guidance to our authentic self. I believe therapy is a parallel process where I walk next to you and I hold the space for your healing. Our work together is an opportunity for you to find your true north. Our work together will be what you want to accomplish and a deep discussion about your needs, issues and desires.

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.

Have you been socially isolated and overwhelmed with life? Do you feel run down, worried, and depleted? Are you hoping for wholeness, happiness, and freedom? These kinds of experiences are painful and exhausting. And without effective care, they can reduce the quality of your life and contribute to long-term health problems. This painful pattern often becomes a downward spiral, which can habitually undermine your joy, intimacy, and hope. You do not have to face this journey alone; choose the professional care you need and deserve. Our talented clinicians at Lighted Path Therapy Services are here to help.

Licensed mental health services for individuals and couples. Traditional face-to-face and televideo therapy sessions are available. Treating mood, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma-related disorders and adjustment/life transition challenges.

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.
