I’m Zach, a person-centered therapist offering telehealth-only services to adults throughout Alaska. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, religious trauma, intrusive thoughts, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe everyone deserves a safe, judgment-free space to explore who they are and where they want to go. Together, we’ll focus on understanding your experiences, identifying your strengths, and empowering your growth.

​

I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, always adapting to meet your unique needs and goals. My therapeutic lens is trauma-informed and deeply respectful of each person’s lived experience.

​

Before entering the mental health field, I worked in crisis recovery, community mental health, higher education, retail, and food service. I also attended seminary and worked in various church settings, which shaped my understanding of both the healing potential and the harm that faith communities can hold. This background gives me a unique perspective when working with those recovering from religious trauma or wrestling with spiritual concerns.

​

Although I currently focus my work on adults, I’ve worked with individuals from ages 3 to 93. I especially enjoy walking with people through times of transition: grief, identity shifts, faith deconstruction, or simply feeling stuck. I’m here to help you make sense of your experience, reclaim your story, and move forward with clarity and intention.

​

Outside of sessions, I value self-care through reading fiction, writing, gaming, and slowly enjoying Alaska’s outdoors (my wife hikes, I walk). I love sci-fi, superheroes, and LEGO, and while I lean dog person, I’ve got a soft spot for cats too.

​

If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
