- LCSW
Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Alaska with over 12 years of experience. I live in a rural community and work with a wide variety of issues with my clients. I have extensive experience in working with clients living with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use issues. I also have extensive experience working with couples and families. I have been trained in the Gottman method of couples therapy and work to help couples identify areas of conflict in their relationship and provide the support and tools they need to discover their resources to find happiness together. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
