Therapy for Service Members, Veterans & Military Spouses

Helping you find your footing when military life turns everything upside down.

Northern lights over Alaska mountains

Trauma-informed counseling for active duty service members, veterans, and military spouses navigating military life in Alaska.

Serving in Alaska means adapting to one of the most unique duty stations in the world. Its beauty is extraordinary, but so are its demands. The northern lights, towering mountains, and Alaska's breathtaking wilderness are matched by the realities of dramatic seasonal shifts that can disrupt sleep, daily rhythms, and your sense of balance.

Geographic isolation and the challenge of building a new life far from the people and places that feel like home add another layer of adjustment.

Military life doesn't pause while you're still finding your footing. Deployments, long separations, demanding schedules, changing family roles, and the uncertainty of what comes next continue, often before you've had time to settle into life here.

My approach integrates trauma-informed care for anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, life transitions, and military-related stress with lived experience and a working understanding of the systems service members and their families navigate.

As a Navy Gold Star spouse, I've personally experienced permanent change of station (PCS) moves, the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), military healthcare, and the unique realities of military life in Alaska. Those experiences, combined with nearly two decades as a licensed professional counselor, allow me to understand both the emotional and practical challenges military families face.

Whether you're adjusting to a new assignment, preparing for deployment, reconnecting after separation, grieving a loss, supporting a family member, or simply trying to find stability amid constant change, therapy offers a place to process your experiences, strengthen resilience, and move forward with confidence.

"Finding your footing takes time. You don't have to do it alone."

What military stress can look like day to day

For service members and spouses, daily life can involve long duty hours, frequent separations, and constant readiness for the next move or deployment.

Stress can build quietly: a short temper at home, trouble sleeping, difficulty switching off after work, or feeling isolated far from family and friends.

Telehealth means you can meet from home, on or near base, without adding travel to an already full schedule.

Common questions about military and veteran therapy

Do you accept TRICARE?

Yes. I'm in network with TRICARE West Region. You can use the insurance verification form on this site to check your coverage.

Who do you work with in the military community?

Active duty service members, veterans, military spouses, and adult military dependents in Alaska.

Is what I share confidential?

Sessions are confidential under HIPAA and Alaska law, with the standard legal exceptions. I'll go over exactly what that means at the start so there are no surprises.

Can you help with PCS moves and deployments?

Yes. We can work on the stress before, during, and after a move or deployment, including reintegration and changing roles at home.

Do you work with EFMP caregivers?

Yes. I have personal experience with the Exceptional Family Member Program and understand the stress of caregiving while navigating military systems.

Whether Alaska is your first duty station or one of many,

you deserve a place where you feel understood.
