I was born and raised in this beautiful state of Alaska. As a counselor, I bring a wealth of life experience to my work and believe firmly in the power of redemption and new beginnings. I am an eternal optimist and believe that no matter how difficult the circumstances, there is always a way forward.
My focus is on substance use and co-occurring disorders, and I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a widely recognized approach to addressing various mental health challenges. I have facilitated numerous treatment groups over the years, but I am currently running an Anger Management and Healthy Communication group.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based, meaning that I prioritize understanding the impact of potential trauma in your life, center my work around your individual needs, and focus on building upon your existing skills and strengths.
I am dedicated to working collaboratively with you to help identify and harness your strengths and abilities, empowering you to navigate your unique journey toward healing and growth.
