In today’s world, many of us are carrying more than just personal stress. Climate concerns, the pandemic, economic instability, political division, and rapid cultural change have created a sense of collective trauma that deeply impacts our mental health. In my work, I recognize that individual struggles don’t exist in isolation—they are shaped by the larger systems and environments we live in.

My goal has always been to support people navigating trauma, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety by exploring the deeper layers of the psyche. Together, we work to build self-awareness, understand unconscious patterns, and develop practical tools that support meaningful and lasting change. I work with a diverse range of clients, from adolescents to older adults (ages 13–65+).

My therapeutic style is eclectic, integrative, and holistic. I draw from a variety of approaches to meet each client where they are, while also acknowledging how societal structures can influence mental health. Areas of particular interest in my work include complex trauma, the psychological impacts of modern economic systems, eco-anxiety, non-dogmatic spirituality, and emerging perspectives in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Above all, I believe healing happens in a space of safety and authenticity. I strive to create a judgment-free, inclusive environment where clients are met with unconditional positive regard, empathy, validation, and genuine care.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, searching for deeper understanding, or simply looking for support, you are welcome to reach out.

I have a world class education, but there is more to me than that: There have been many iterations of "Alan" over the long years of my life. There is the drug addict that has walked the clean and sober path for 33 years. There is the truck driver and the tattoo artist, the husband (married 31 years), the father, the grandfather, the great grandfather, the foster father, the step-father. There is the Buddhist and the philosopher. I am reaching out to you. There is nothing you can tell me that will offend me.

And I can write a darned good introduction too! LOL!

I hope to meet you soon!

Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience providing compassionate, trauma-informed care across diverse clinical settings. Licensed in both California and Oregon, my career has been dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating complex life challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, relational difficulties and serious mental illnesses. My background is uniquely broad, ranging from mental health facilities–both inpatient and outpatient–to medical social work and home health. I have extensive experience working with my own and other Tribal communities in rural Alaska, California, and Oregon, providing culturally relevant psychotherapy and advocacy.

Prior to earning my Master of Social Work in 2000, my foundational mental health experience spanned intensive inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, and residential mental health programs.

As a social worker, I understand individuals, families, tribes, and communities as both composed of, and embedded within complex systems. I work to help clients plan for and adapt to change, striving to offer a safe, supportive environment in which clients will not just experience relief, but become their best selves ready to flourish in a welcoming future.
