Bekah specializes in supporting adults navigating major life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, trauma, and the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. Through her clinical work, she has developed a deep understanding of how relationships—both with others and oneself—serve as the foundation for meaningful change and healing. Bekah believes that a respectful and trusting connection is the cornerstone of therapeutic progress.

Her approach to therapy is holistic, integrative, and grounded in evidence-based modalities, drawing from EMDR, CBT, MBCT, IFS, and Solution-Focused techniques. She views therapy as a collaborative process, where clients are empowered to take the lead in their own growth. Using strengths-based methods, Bekah helps clients reclaim their stories, fostering resilience and self-discovery. She holds profound respect for the struggles and pain we face as humans but remains steadfast in her belief that we are all survivors with the capacity for profound healing.

Respect and transparency guide every aspect of Bekah’s work. She values the therapeutic relationship as a space where trust can flourish, perspectives can shift, and transformative change can take root. The bonds formed between client and therapist create a safe environment for growth and empowerment.

Bekah earned her Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Education with a minor in Psychology from Northland College. After several years working in adolescent treatment centers and domestic violence shelters, she pursued her Master’s degree in Counseling from Alaska Pacific University, focusing on Mindful Parenting techniques.

Originally from California and raised in Iowa, Bekah now calls Alaska home, where she lives with her family. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her loved ones and furry companions, gardening, boating, skiing, fat biking, playing board games, watching movies, and chasing sunshine wherever it may take her.
