Alaska Wellness Services
Welcome to improved wellness, Alaska style. Whether you are looking for psychotherapy services via telehealth, in-person indoors, or in-person outdoors surrounded by beautiful Alaskan nature, Alaska Wellness Journeys can help facilitate the outcomes you wish to manifest.
I provide a physically and emotionally safe, trauma-informed, client-centered, strengths-based, and integrative approach to wellness for all kinds of Alaskans. My vision is to see Alaskans healing, growing, and thriving.
Individual Therapy
$275 per 55 minute session
Find relief from symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, distressing thoughts, feelings, beliefs, dreams, and memories. I utilize a myriad of techniques and modalities to promote growth, perspective change, and healing. Some of these modalities include including Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, and integration of experiences, including adventure-based and psychedelic experiences. Individual therapy is an opportunity to learn, build, and maintain skills, or engage in reflection, exploration, and change.
Couples and Family Therapy

Improve and increase communication, sense of connection, and understanding between loved ones. Therapeutic interventions are informed by Trauma-Informed Crisis Prevention and Intervention, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Play Therapy, and exploration of individual, complex, and historical/intergenerational trauma. We will work together from a family systems perspective to address strengths and challenges of being on a long term team.

As a Certified Clinical Adventure Therapist (CCAT) and National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) certified Outdoor Educator, I utilize experiential learning modalities to facilitate nature-based growth and healing for organizations, groups, families, and individuals. Through an initial consultation, we will work together to design your ideal therapeutic adventure experience. Therapeutic adventures are nature-based opportunities to develop and strengthen team dynamics, communication skills, and coping with adversity. I maintain a safety and therapeutic containment through risk assessment tools, scaffolded skills building, and various certifications of wilderness safety training. These certifications include Trauma Informed Crisis Prevention and Intervention Trainer, Wilderness First Responder, (WFR), Swiftwater Safety Institute Professional-1, Association for Experiential Education (AEE) Certified Clinical Adventure Therapist (CCAT), and National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) Outdoor Educator, as well as my background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Chemical Dependency Counselor Supervisor (CDC-S), and Master in Science of Social Work (MSSW) from Columbia University.
