Being human is difficult. But you don't have to do it alone. I am here to offer support as a "fellow traveler" in life and therapy. None of us thrive in isolation. I view therapy, in part, as helping people make sense of being human. I aim to provide a safe space so clients can show up authentically and feel seen, heard, and understood along the way.

As someone who has experienced past sexual / physical abuse, or chronic illness, do you often wonder how you can move past the overwhelming shame and pain? Have you tried “everything” but nothing seems to alleviate the flashbacks or unwanted memories. Do you want to stop dissociating? Do you long be free of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts; longing for connection, worthiness, and to tell your story with a safe, non-judgmental person. Are you willing to examine thoughts, emotions, behaviors and learn how to utilize your whole self, develop shame resilience—transforming the way you live & love in your current relationships?

My approach to therapy comes from the belief that within each of us is an inner wisdom, that when accessed will guide us to new insights, answers, relief and even healing from our burdens and struggles. I believe we are all designed to find healing, when we do our own, honest "soul searching" or inner exploration. Richard Schwartz, developer of the Internal Family Systems model, stumbled upon an approach to navigating our internal systems through work with his clients. He discovered that we all possess the positive qualities of calmness, compassion, confidence, courage, etc. when connected to this source of inner wisdom.

You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

I am in transition from group to private practice. Due to this, I am accepting telehealth only clients (12+) at this time. I will resume in person mid 2025 in Anchorage. More than any other factor, it is the relationship between client and therapist that has been found to profoundly impact personal change. We are hurt and healed within relationships. I take a relational approach to all my therapeutic work. I believe in honoring the individual needs of each client, ensuring they are known, seen, heard, and delighted in. I take a special interest in expanding the social and wellness supports of individuals outside the therapy room.
