She has spent the last 9 years in Unalaska, Alaska where she was a therapist and Director of Behavioral Health at Iliuliuk Family and Health Services.

It is important to me that treatment is geared to each individual client specifically to their needs and what they want to accomplish in therapy. I have a systems based philosophy of care and will work closely with your primary care provider, family, significant other if you request and desire that integration. I am trained in various treatment modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Gottman Couples Therapy. I believe in using a bio-psychosocial mindset throughout treatment and assessment which essentially means I am assessing external/environmental factors affecting a client’s life as well as medical/physiological factors that might be influencing mood, anxiety and physical health and well being. All these areas impact us. All are important.
Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It's a treatment that varies depending on the personality of the therapist, the client, and the situation that brings you in to counseling. As a clinician, I utilize many different approaches to help you address areas of concern(s) so that your counseling experience feels as natural as possible. I look forward to speaking with you more about what you would like to accomplish and what is going to work for you.
