My Approach to Helping
I believe that my role as a counselor is to assist you in reconnecting with strengths that you already possess, and to help you in developing new skills and techniques that empower you to live your dreams and meet your goals.
I enjoy working with adults on a variety of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, healthy relationships, self-worth, identity, sexuality, substance abuse, parenting, and major life transitions. I happily work with couples and families, and am also willing to meet with people in their homes to facilitate stronger relationships, healthy rituals, and communication skills.
Parent coaching, couples/family therapy, group therapy, and the treatment of adolescents with behavioral problems and emotional disturbances are areas in which I specialize.
I am an active and engaging counselor. I draw from a large variety of psychotherapeutic backgrounds and consider myself eclectic, meaning that I will choose an intervention or therapeutic model as needed to address a particular client's needs at a particular time. I also create my own interventions for clients that are individually personalized. I work collaboratively with my clients, and strive for a holistic approach that considers your psyche (the Greek word for soul) to be interrelated and interconnected with both your mind and your body.
More Info About My Practice
I have been working with adolescents and their families for over a decade. Here in Anchorage I have worked in both residential treatment and inpatient facilities. In my work with both adolescents and adults I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety, PTSD, self-injury and self-sabotaging behaviors. When working with parents and couples I am often less solution focused, rather building on individual abilities to cope with stress and anger. I work with the couple on developing intimacy in partnership that is less person-centered in an effort to build connections that are based in each person's soul. I am able to bill most private insurance companies. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
