I work virtually with individual clients age 17+ throughout Alaska and Minnesota. Therapy appointments are 52-60 minutes long once/week. Appointments are generally available from 9:30am-5:30pm AKST/12:30pm-8:30pm DST, Monday through Wednesday.
At this time I do not availability for new clients. You can send me an email in the meantime or visit my curated list of professionals to explore other options. I hope we can work together in the future!

*Self-authorship and choice are cornerstones of my counseling ethos, and for this reason I do not work with court-mandated adults or minors who do not actively want to be in therapy.
Therapy modalities
Although I am a registered dance/movement therapist, I will collaborate with you to find the style of counseling that best fits your needs. We'll explore your personal neurobiology to discover embodied self-care skills that enhance your adaptive responses to stress and trauma, decrease loneliness and isolation, and invite joy through play and imagination.
You are not too much— let’s find a kinder, gentler way to befriend your body, mind, and spirit!

Dance/movement therapy is a branch of the expressive arts with a unique orientation toward the body. We'll ask neurobiological questions like how we are sensing cues of safety and unsafety and what prior experiences affect those senses. We'll look for embodied resources that work for you-- there is no cookie cutter workbook solution here because every body's lived experience is different. Click here to learn more.

Depending on your needs, we may use poetry, writing, art, music, movement, or drama interventions to explore feelings and search for joy and resilience. Absolutely no prior arts experience required. Click here to learn more.
