I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience working with a variety of populations. I have worked many years with Alaska Native, military and veteran populations. I have developed expertise working with people experiencing effects of trauma, anxiety and depression. I am well-versed with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have also worked with people experiencing grief/loss, adjustment issues,
One of my favorite sayings is "Life is a Process". Change is hard and the first step is to reach out. One of the first things to do in therapy is to set reasonable goals and develop a way to get there. As self-awareness and healthy thinking patterns are developed the brain will start healing leading to a more fulfilling and satisfied life.
I look forward to working with you.
