I am a Deg Xinag Athabascan woman from Alaska. My therapeutic approach is rooted in humanistic theory, which emphasizes the inherent worth of every individual and focuses on self-growth, personal meaning, and the ability to make choices that align with one’s authentic self. My approach also includes focusing on self-growth and authenticity, and postmodern social work, which challenges power structures and embraces diverse perspectives. This supports individuals who’ve felt marginalized or disconnected due to trauma, societal pressures, or systemic barriers. Community, culture and connection are part of my practice.
I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health therapist who specializes in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I provides tele-health therapy through a holistic and person-centered lens, ensuring that each client feels seen, heard, and empowered in their healing journey.
I am committed to providing non-discriminatory, equitable, gender-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ friendly care to all individuals regardless of legal status. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where clients can express themselves authentically, explore their identities, and receive support without fear of judgment or discrimination.
