I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Minnesota and Alaska with 10 years of experience. As a readjustment counselor I worked with military veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. I assisted clients with various concerns associated with combat and sexual trauma including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substances abuse, and career challenges. As an independent contractor working with the BetterHelp platform I help many people from all walks of life who have experienced physical and emotional trauma and/or abuse.
My counseling style is interactive but somewhat direct as I believe in honesty and facing our fears. I also believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I respect and honor all, including those who identify as Straight, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and acceptance & commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Alaine and I have just started but I can tell she is going to challenge me and my thinking; I need that. She is a great listener and even as I meander through my stories she gets all the points. I look forward to our meetings and her help to challenge my thinking and to help make me the best me possible.

Alaine has listened to me talk through things I've not spoken of for years, and things I've not shared with anyone before. She listens before she responds and offers only as much as I am ready to hear (at least that's how it feels to me). I have received so much from her and moved past obstacles that have slowed my growth and development. She's helped me see that my life and many choices I've made, have not been a "mistake or blunder" that they've felt like for so long.

My therapist was able to meet with within a day. She was kind, open, and very supportive. I found conversing with her easy and immediately felt that she understood my situation. She had time to follow up with me every couple of days. She provided tools along the way. But most importantly she listened, asked good questions and made me feel she was there for me. She also communicated through the message system. I am so grateful. Thank you.

Alaine is the best therapist I have ever worked with. I feel comfortable speaking my truth and she is always so supportive and understanding.
