About Me

As an integrative psychologist, I provide an eclectic and integrative approach with the aim of addressing the whole person. Those who want to establish a body, mind, and heart connection will benefit most by working with me. With extensive training and experience in trauma, dissociation, depression, anxiety, addiction, and spiritual/religious issues, I’ve been able to create a dynamic “toolbox” that can be designed around your needs. I am a certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) counselor and an EMDR consultant in training (CIT). I am certified in complex trauma and dissociative disorders through the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISST-D) as well as a certified Heart Math (biofeedback) practitioner. I also work as an adjunct professor in behavioral sciences at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS). I value kindness, connection, and collaboration. By nature I'm very inquisitive. I enjoy creative processes and exploring of new ways to do things. I like to think I have an ability to recognize and admit own weaknesses and shortcomings I.lLove to laugh and consider myself humorous, although this is questionable by others.
