I became a clinical psychologist because of the profound benefits of psychotherapy for healing and personal growth. It is an honor to be part of this profession and participate in the mutual search and movement toward a meaningful human existence. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist working in Alaska over twenty years. My professional experiences throughout that time have impressed on me the necessity of developing individualized treatment goals and tasks in collaboration with the unique person seeking therapy. This approach requires deep attention to what is most meaningful for you and understanding how well your intrapsychic and relationship patterns are working.
