As a clinical-community psychologist, I take a systemic approach to understanding problems and developing solutions. In addition to helping you gain insight into yourself, I strive to help you understand what is going on in the systems around you - your family, friends, communities, cultures. That way, we can work together to help you make the changes you desire. That might mean changing how you relate to these systems, working towards changing these systems, and even exiting systems and entering new ones to support your wellbeing. I work with adolescents, adults, and families. I provide culturally-informed, strengths-focused, evidence-based psychotherapy for a variety of mental health challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and adjustment. I specialize in services for significant life transitions, including migration. I particularly serve people who are new to the United States, such as immigrants, refugees, asylees, and survivors of human trafficking. I completed my PhD in Clinical and Community Psychology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and my doctoral internship at the University of Vermont. I am a licensed psychologist in Alaska and Vermont. I am currently on faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage, teaching graduate students and conducting community-engaged research on communities, culture, and mental health.
