Welcome!  I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD, dissociation, and adult survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse.   I provide a compassionate, safe and respectful environment for you to explore the difficult and painful areas of your life. The overall goal is to help you draw upon your strength and internal wisdom to make the changes you need to discover more satisfying ways to live.  Education: I graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology.
