Welcome!

A Professional Approach

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I'm deeply committed to helping you break down the barriers that trouble you, and to live a brighter, more fulfilling life.

​

As a mental health therapist, the mission of my therapeutic approach is to empower you in your journey for mental wellness. Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck with a mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, unwanted relationship patterns, suicidal ideation, or difficulty recovering from a painful experience. Others may be struggling to cope with external sources of stress, like abuse or trauma. I will support you with a safe space that provides compassion, honesty, without judgment, practical support, and clear communication of my observations in our time together.

​

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I utilize a humanistic, client centered, and strengths based approach in working with adults, children, and families; while interweaving various therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, play therapy, and art therapy.

My Story

I moved to Alaska from Pennsylvania in December of 2020! In addition to seeing clients in-person at my office in Anchorage, I continued to work for a group private practice in Pennsylvania through Teletherapy. I have six years of clinical experience working in outpatient mental health.

​

I continue to immerse myself in learning about Alaska and Alaskan culture. I have served on the Board of Directors for the Alaska Chapter of National Association of Social Workers.

​

Previous experience includes, seven years of social work practice in child welfare; as a child welfare caseworker for Pennsylvania and a social work consultant for Penn State Dickinson Law School Community Law Clinic in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I am an EMDRIA consultant-in-training and provide external clinical supervision to licensed Master level social workers.
