What's My Approach to Therapy?
Therapy is a catalyst for change. I believe you have the strength, wisdom, and capacity to heal and to live a more authentic, meaningful life.
The decision to seek therapy is an incredibly brave one. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, illness, addiction, and self-judgement may be standing in the way of your growth. You may feel stuck in place, trapped in old habits, or merely surviving when you want to thrive.
Therapy can offer you skills and a new perspective to make the changes you are seeking. Together, we can expand your ability to be present with your feelings from a place of compassion and curiosity.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience in Alaska, with a passion for health and wellness. My clinical experiences include work in oncology, mental health, trauma, crisis intervention, and substance abuse. This lens offers valuable insight into many concerns you may bring today.
My therapy methods apply strength-based psychotherapies, including solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), grief therapy, and narrative therapy.
Together, we will identify and work toward goals you create to support your transformative process of healing.
