About My Clients
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured, and you are not alone. If you’re struggling to feel empowered or stuck, counseling is an opportunity for a client to learn about themselves and improve their life. We all need help accessing our own voice, working through the ways we are stuck, and finding happiness. It is a different journey for each person, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside someone who is seeking change. I am licensed in AK, MT, and VA as well as being a certified coach.
My Background and Approach
I work to build a trusting, safe relationship, and give the client as much support as they need. Using a holistic approach I implement evidence-based modalities such as Somatic based therapies, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness while blending it with non-traditional modalities such as Yoga Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, and Ecotherapy. These modalities often make it possible to express what is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to communicate with words. received my master's in counseling psychology from Prescott College in 2010. I am licensed in Alaska and Montana with over 12 years of experience in inpatient, residential/treatment, and outpatient settings. I work with adults in both the individual and group setting who need the space to find or rediscover their voice in the midst of grief and loss, aging/life changes, substance use, anxiety, and relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of therapy and have witnessed the profound impact of this work alongside clients thousands of times! I value what I do because I have seen those closest to me struggle through their use/recovery, loss, and worry. I have seen the profound impact of loss or failure and know the devastating effects when we feel like we do not matter. I believe that every one of us has the capacity to heal and grow, provided the right support and environment. Together, we can develop new ways to cope with stressors, heal from past hurt, and overcome barriers to living a more fulfilling, purposeful life.
