New to Grow
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Psychology, I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional wellness and personal growth. I came to Alaska driven by a desire to help strengthen mental health services in this community. Licensed in Oklahoma, another state, and Alaska, I take great pride in walking alongside my clients as they gain insight, build resilience, and achieve the goals that matter most to them.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your journey begins with a thoughtful and personalized first session designed to truly understand you. Together, we will explore the sources and influences that have led you to seek support. We’ll gently discuss the background of these concerns and the ways they may be impacting different areas of your life. This is a safe, collaborative space where you can speak openly and feel heard without judgment. From there, we will create a tailored treatment plan that reflects your unique needs, strengths, and goals. You’ll leave with clarity about the path forward and confidence in the steps we’ll take together. Seeking support is a courageous first step — and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Therapy Focused on You and Your Goals I use evidence-based therapy approaches designed to help you process experiences, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. Our work together is centered on what matters most to you—your concerns, your strengths, and your goals. Every client is unique. That’s why I tailor each session to meet your individual needs, helping you better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools for lasting change. My focus is simple: to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve meaningful progress. Your goals guide the process. Together, we’ll work toward real growth and lasting results.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with clients who are ready to thoughtfully explore their needs, clarify what truly matters to them, and identify meaningful goals for their personal or professional growth. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I believe the best outcomes happen when we work together to gain clarity, develop practical strategies, and create a clear path forward. Whether you are seeking direction, facing a transition, or striving for measurable results, I am committed to providing the guidance, structure, and support needed to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have found CBT a positive technique for shaping and encouraging thoughts and feelings for Clients.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Having Clients process their thoughts and direct attention to purpose and impacts of their thoughts is a product of CPT.
Couples Counseling
Having both partners present during a session such as in Couples Sessions allows both partners to process and come to an understanding of their partner's views and feelings.
Family Therapy
Having family members involved with the purpose of therapy in the session provides ground breaking information and connections towards progress and goal achievement.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Working on communication and learning the words to achievable goals comes out of DBT.
