At Alaska Marriage & Family Therapy Associates, Shawnmarie and her Team believe that healing is not just a destination—it’s a transformative journey.
Is your childhood marked by painful experiences? Do they make you carry the weight of past trauma into stopping you from healing in your sexual relationships today? Your resilience is shing through and may need additional support to reach your goals. You may have the strength you need to face your pain and desire to start a journey to reclaim yourself.

You are able to craft time for your friends, your family and YOURSELF and make each day count.
This last year has been so draining and you're just trying to stay afloat. Your anxiety keeps telling you that you have a million things that are left to get accomplished, and your depression is right there to tag in, making you feel terrible for not getting anything done on your list. You are trying to balance difficult co-workers, keeping (and maintaining) friendships, juggling 4 different schedules, and trying to keep your house from looking like a bomb went off. You smile through the day being a great pretender, only to be alone with your thoughts at night and feeling like you’re failing at adulting.

I have a particular interest in helping people with family issues, spiritual concerns, parenting, and building stronger relationships in their own lives.
Do you ever wish you could truly be listened to and understood? I have felt the intensity of that longing and know the joy of having it answered. Because of my experience, I love connecting with people, building relationships, and hearing people's true hearts. It can feel scary to invite another person into our deepest places, but it can help us clarify who we are and allow us to experience healing within a safe relationship. This is why I love counseling. It is a joy to walk alongside people as they discover who they are made to be.

I specialize in Trauma-focused work, occupational stress, mood disorders, family (parenting and marital) stress, difficult life changes, and all things Anxiety.
Change is hard, but worth it. Clients can expect an empathic and caring, but no-nonsense, approach to tackling issues. I specialize in Military/Veteran issues, anxiety and trauma treatment to clients residing anywhere in TX, NC & AK. No travel required! I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere that enables frank, honest discussions that promote change. I have a good history with clients seeking out initial care as well as those who have been unsuccessful with other therapists. I do not accept insurance, as I believe care should be authentic and person-centered without coding or billing guidelines dictating care.

I began my journey over 10 years ago at a rural inpatient rehab in AL. Those beginnings taught me that every client is unique in their personal history & current challenges & no one is immune to how life experiences change and harm us. I appreciate helping clients build goals & support them on their journey to healing. I am constantly humbled by the resiliency of my clients & the bravery they show to attempt to change painful ways of feeling and thinking. I love seeing my clients gain confidence, confront life obstacles, and heal emotional wounds. It’s difficult, but we can grow & rebuild ourselves, even with all of our junk.
