AK Counseling Services

I was born and raised in Northern Nevada and like many, found my way to Alaska and have made this my home. I began my education journey in criminal justice and branched out to psychology and behavioral health blending my two interests. This led me to working with kids in residential treatment and I recognized how important mental health was, particularly at a young age. I expanded my career and now work with all ages. I have helped facilitate and co-facilitate an intensive outpatient program (IOP). In addition, I am a clinician with the Fairbanks Mobile Crisis Team. I believe therapy is a space for discovery, healing, and growth. It's not about fixing what's "broken"—it's about understanding ourselves more deeply, making sense of our experiences, and learning new ways to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're facing a specific issue or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to explore, reflect, and move forward. In my work, I focus on building a strong, supportive relationship where you can feel safe, heard, and empowered. I see therapy as a collaborative process: you're the expert on your life, and I'm here to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and clinical insight. Together, we can uncover patterns, build resilience, and help you live with more clarity and intention.
