UPDATE: January 2021
Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to the coming year with hope and certainly some lessons from the past year. For now, appointments continue to be telehealth, but a return to in-person or walking sessions is on the horizon - clients will likely have a choice to remain telehealth or have in person sessions around Summer 2021. Make sure to check with your insurance provider to ensure telehealth visits are covered under your plan! I so appreciate referrals from my clients, colleagues, and providers, but remain closed to new patients and working from a waitlist at this time. For now, here's to 2021 and the promise it holds!

ABOUT ME
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and second generation Alaskan. I have experience working in a diverse number of fields, and the mental health field for 15 years. I attended Gonzaga University and Montana State for undergraduate school and Alaska Pacific University for my Master's of Science in Counseling Psychology. My clients tell me that they appreciate my easy-going style, and comfort with a vast range of topics, especially around what can be an emotionally charged issue for many: sexuality. I have specialized training in the Gottman Method for Couples therapy, working with sexuality issues and Women's health, and am a trained EMDR provider. I am one of four AASECT certified sex therapists in Alaska.
GROUPS AND COMMUNITY
In addition to my therapy practice, I am a group facilitator for Let Every Woman Know's gynecological cancer support groups. I frequently offer workshops throughout the Anchorage area. I have offered a group for Mothers and Daughters (age 9-11) in preparation for adolescence, and served on the Anchorage School Board Health Curriculum Committee which works to advance the quality of sex education in our schools. I engage in regular consultation groups with other professionals in the community to enhance my knowledge, connection, and competence.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe counseling is most effective when it is an honest and collaborative process that is sometimes difficult - but you can have fun with it too! I tailor my style to each client usually including some element of emotional processing for release as well as solution-focused work to enhance coping skills for triggers and stressors. I truly enjoy this work, and am honored to be a witness to the growth and transformation that my clients experience.
ONLINE SCHEDULING AND SECURE MESSAGING
I offer state of the art business practices for my clients including online scheduling and appointment management, text-message or email appointment reminders, and secure email. You can access these features by clicking here.
BILLING
I will electronically bill your insurance as a courtesy and am a contracted preferred provider with Blue Cross/Premera. Many other plans reimburse at IN network rates. The only insurances I cannot accept are Tricare, Medicare, and Medicaid.
