Education & Experience

My integrative approach to therapy incorporates my education, experience, and training in attachment theory, family systems, experiential and adventure-based therapies, as well as specific modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Child-Centered Play Therapy (PT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I have worked with children and adolescents in inpatient, residential, and outpatient treatment settings, and adults in residential inpatient substance abuse, crisis, and outpatient treatment settings throughout Alaska. I received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2008, a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Alaska Pacific University in 2011, and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University in 2017.
