About

I am licensed as a professional counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 7 years of professional work experience. I have a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology with masters degrees in both psychology and industrial-organizational psychology. I am also a certified HeartMath Practitioner and trained in the use of HeartMath Interventions and biofeedback.

I am trained in the use of a variety of therapy modalities including but not limited to: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.

I have vast experience in helping clients with managing stress and building resilience, decreasing anxiety/depression, coping with and recovering from addiction (including codependency), and healing from trauma and abuse. I enjoy working with a variety of clients including those with diverse cultural backgrounds and military personnel at all branches and stages of engagement (e.g., retired, veteran, active duty, reserve). My preferred population is adults. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming situations, emotions and thoughts which challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling, happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you in making those changes and embarking on your journey.
