Great to meet you!

Ever wonder what happens when you combine the grit of an Alaskan winter with over a decade of clinical "controlled chaos"?

I earned my Master’s at the University of Alaska Anchorage (go Seawolves!), which is a fancy way of saying I’m legally qualified to help you navigate your internal blizzards. For the past ten years, I’ve been deep in the trenches of community hospitals and residential centers—basically the "ER" of mental health. I’ve spent most of that time wrangling high-energy kiddos and decoding family dynamics, but my door is wide open to humans of all vintages.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific "life glitch" or a full-blown existential crisis, I’m a professional pivot-master. We won't just stick to a rigid script; we’ll get creative and shift gears whenever your life decides to throw a new curveball.

My approach to therapy

Therapy shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all "emotional beige" that fails to match your specific brand of chaos.

I’m a firm believer that your treatment plan shouldn't look like a photocopied handout from 1994. My approach is less "nodding silently while checking the clock" and more "creative collaboration." Think of me as a clinical DJ—I have a massive crate of modalities (CBT, Family Systems, Mindfulness, and more) and I’m ready to remix them in real-time to meet you exactly where you are today. We are going to co-author this journey; you bring the raw material of your life, and I’ll bring the specialized tools to help you build something better. Whether we need a surgical strike on a specific habit or a deep-dive exploration into your "why," we’ll pivot together until we find the frequency that actually works for you.

What you can expect from me

Forget the high-stakes game of "20 Questions" where I take all the notes while you do all the sweating.

Our first hour is much more of a collaborative "vibe check"—it's your stage and a chance to tell your story, quirks and all, while we figure out exactly what’s been throwing a wrench in your gears. We’ll look at your goals, identify your "must-haves" for support, and decide if we’re diving into a quick-fix "sprint" or a more scenic, long-term exploration. Think of it as the pilot episode of your new favorite series; we’re just setting the scene to make sure the rest of the season is a total hit. Ready to cast your lead?
