Without realizing who you are, happiness cannot come to you. - Yogi Bhajan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in individual, couples and family psychotherapy, and maintain a private practice in Anchorage. Alaska.  I have been in private practice since 1988.  Before that, I worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, beginning in 1982.

With over 25 years experience as a clinician, and a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas with a Master of Science in Psychology, I am currently working with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are depression/anxiety, chronic illness, personal growth, insight/solutions, Mindfulness and the Practice of Presence.

Blending conventional and alternative approaches, I support an accepting, compassionate focus on a return to our natural state of well being, through living in the present moment.  I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to help clients resolve current problems or long standing ones.  Helping clients find solutions to a wide range of challenges, through harmony of body, mind and spirit, I work with each client to help them build on their strengths, to identify and achieve life goals, and to regain balance in all areas of their lives.
