Psychotherapy I was trained to provide individual psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults, ages 16 and older. I have training and experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I am certified to provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also trained in hypnosis, and I am participating in ongoing education and consultation in order to provide treatment for individuals with dissociative disorders. I offer these services within a humanistic framework in which I appreciate your resiliency as an individual. I believe that everyone has all that they need to reach their full potential as human beings, and I am honored to be a part of the process of your growth and healing. I work well with individuals who experience Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.
Psychological Evaluations While I am unable to offer psychological evaluations at this time, I have almost 10 years of experience in administering, scoring, and interpreting psychological assessments for people ages 9 and older. I have been trained in administering the Wechsler intelligence tests, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Thematic Apperception Test, and the Rorschach inkblot test, in addition to numerous other psychological testing measures. This informs my treatment by allowing me to see different perspectives of your experience and consider alternative explanations (such as medical or neurological) that may be relevant to the clinical picture. My background in psychological assessment also allows me an organizational framework with which to understand your unique personality structure.
For Clinicians
Supervision and Consultation I have been privileged to serve as a postdoctoral supervisor for two talented postdoctoral professionals, and I have served as a group superviser for a local agency providing substance abuse treatment for both in- and outpatient clients. I have highly enjoyed working in this capacity with young professionals in the field. I have been approved by the LPC and Psychologist Boards for the State of Alaska to be a supervisor for those seeking licensure in these areas. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if you are seeking supervision for either of these state boards. I am only providing consultation and supervision services via video-conference at this time.
Additionally, I have provided consultation services for colleagues and professionals in the field since 2017, both in group and individual settings. Please contact me with questions about my consultation services.
For Organizations
In 2023, I stepped into some training and consulting for managers in the professional/business field. Finding ways to bridge the gap between managers and supervisors with their employees and consumers can be tricky and frustrating--for all involved. Thus far, I have provided individual and group consultation, as well as formal trainings on leadership principles and effective communication. I have found that an integration from the psychological realm coupled with the business/management realm has been effective for companies in moving forward in their goals for growth. It seems there is power in the application of concepts related to mental health when paired with an organization's goals for growth. There are opportunities everywhere in a company to grow and improve in their internal organization and care for customers and employees, in much the same way psychotherapy can offer skills and strategies for one's own personal growth.
