Hello!
I have over 10 years of experience working with people on issues related to anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I still enjoy it. Those issues can affect our lives in so many ways and in so many situations and I’m happy to tackle the cases that feel impossible. I will work with you to develop a goal that fits your needs, even when things change or get rough. I typically use variations of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), in a client-centered fashion, but I am flexible when it’s needed. I am very experienced in using ACT approaches as well when it’s the right fit for someone.
I focus on helping people identify what they can change about their situation, be it external forces or just the way they think about it. Then we use the tools you will learn to make that change happen. Often that involves things like identifying harmful thought patterns, accepting feelings, and using coping skills such as mindfulness or thought re-framing.
I’ve lived in Alaska for more than 20 years and I can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. I love the windy days we get in the Mat-Su Valley. This is the place where I want to help other people enjoy life to its fullest.
Reaching out to get help with sensitive topics can be intimidating and I want to make it as easy as I can. It should only take a 15-minute phone call to see if I could be a good fit for you or a family member. I can also be reached by email if you feel more comfortable that way. I care about you and want to help you make the change you’re looking for!
