I am licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

My therapy style and approach mainly draws from Meaning Centered Psychotherapy with a Psychodynamic and Person-Centered focus. I utilize different modalities from Positive Psychology; Mindfulness; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); Strength-Based Therapy to empower my clients to face challenges and overcome problems they have.

It takes a lot of power and courage to work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here for you if you are ready to take that step and you feel I would be a good fit for you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great therapist. Knows what type of questions to ask.

Reviewed September 2023

From the first session, she's been very reassuring in being an active and thoughtful listener. No pressure on your part to convey information or feel uncertain about sharing personal details about your past. This is coming from someone who's never done therapy before, and I have to say it's been such a relief to speak with a professional who takes the time to understand your position. I found her insights to be life-changing and thought-provoking. There are techniques I continue to exercise to this day. If you've ever had trouble speaking with a professional because they made you feel misunderstood, unheard, or gave negative reception, I highly recommend Ku'upuamakamae Nalua'i. She's both professional and wonderful to work with.

This has been the third therapist I’ve spoken with. She really connects with you when you speak with them. She’s attentive and will push you to fight for yourself through the hard and easy. I’m really enjoying our sessions.
