My approach goes beyond symptom management to heal the source of your problem so that you can reach your goals.
•Now Accepting New Clients• Do you go through the motions of life feeling stressed, anxious, exhausted, angry, or sad? Do you feel numb or worry about things that haven’t even happened yet? “Why did I say that”? "What's wrong with me?"What if it happens again"? "Why me"? The conflicts you feel - with yourself, your relationships, and life, are sapping your energy and robbing you of joy. Maybe you've tried dealing with it on your own- maybe in healthy ways and some not, and yet it remains. You feel exhausted and powerless. "Will it be like this forever?" It certainly could be -but it doesn't have to be. You are not alone, I can help.

Have you been socially isolated and overwhelmed with life? Do you feel run down, worried, and depleted? Are you hoping for wholeness, happiness, and freedom? These kinds of experiences are painful and exhausting. And without effective care, they can reduce the quality of your life and contribute to long-term health problems. This painful pattern often becomes a downward spiral, which can habitually undermine your joy, intimacy, and hope. You do not have to face this journey alone; choose the professional care you need and deserve. Our talented clinicians at Lighted Path Therapy Services are here to help.

I work at Greatland Clinical Associates located in Anchorage. As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, respectful and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. I support the hu manistic principles that people are best helped by a therapist who is psychologically present and establishes a therapeutic environment that is accepting, empathic, and authentic. The relationship the client and therapist build is itself an important agent of change and therefore, is an integral part of the therapy focus.

Getting older can also have its challenges as we face many transitions and loses.
I have a special interest in working with older adults. Getting older can come as a surprise to many. For most, our early years are full ones, establishing ourselves with family and a working life. We have a busy life with struggles and ups and downs that are the main focus of our attention. At some point though we have the realization that we are of a certain age, and that time seems to be moving by more quickly. Getting older may open new possibilities for how we spend our time as our work and family obligations change. It can be a time to look forward to how we would like to imagine our future years.

Leading a rich, meaningful life, is hard to do in our complex world, and, consequently, most of us find ourselves "in over our heads" as lovers, parents, workers, and leaders. Growing into a larger, better version of self requires fundamental changes to mindset, and that takes courage, deep learning, and a commitment to ongoing growth and development. Having a guide can help.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
