I bring a culturally responsive and compassionate approach to mental health counseling, grounded in a Master’s degree in Psychology and over a decade of experience in behavioral and mental health care. My work has spanned a variety of settings, including adolescent residential treatment, acute inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient counseling within critical access hospitals.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting a wide range of individuals and families, including toddlers, adolescents, adoptive families, legal guardians, and adults. I am experienced in navigating complex systems of care, with a strong background in case management, residential and outpatient services, and community-based support.

Having worked extensively across Alaska, I understand the importance of culturally informed care and the unique challenges faced by diverse communities.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where clients feel understood and supported as they move toward meaningful change.

I am a compassionate psychiatric provider that is dedicated to my practice. I started my psychiatric career as a technician in forensic psychiatry. I worked with individuals who had comitted crimes and were either attempting to determine competency, or were found not guilty by reason of insanity. As my education blossomed, I began working as a nurse on a child and adolescent crisis stabilization unit. I found a massive love for child and adolescent psychiatry and spent most of my career working crisis stabilization and residential psychiatric care for children and adolescents. This gave me significant experience working with many different cultures. After I graduated with my doctorate, I began working psychiatric outpatient. I now see patients of all ages (children 4+, adolescents, adults and geriatric). I thrive on a strong therapeutic relationship and making sure my patients feel heard. I am open minded and non-bias. You are safe with me.

I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.

My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.

All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.
