Personal Statement

Born and raised in rural Alaska with Inupiaq and Southern American roots, I enjoyed a culturally rich upbringing and community. This allowed me to appreciate others’ cultural backgrounds and seek to understand before making assumptions.

I obtained my Master of Social Work degree in 2011, and began working as a therapist at a community mental health clinic soon after. I have experience working with young children through adults, families, and groups. In my private practice I primary work with adults and adolescents.

My LCSW licensure requires continuing education, and I continually push into learning opportunities to provide good, effective therapy for my clients.
