Meet the Team

---

Born and raised in Fairbanks Alaska, it is a privilege to serve my home community. My professional background includes directing and co-facilitating an intensive outpatient program (IOP), group therapy program for addictions and trauma. Prior to the IOP, I worked with severely emotionally disturbed youth, both in the school and clinical setting. I have experience as an adjunct with UAF’s psychology department, offering a psychology course in coordination with the Student Support Services’ TRIO program. My personal background includes growing up with horses and riding for most of my life, as well as offering riding instruction for a number of years. I enjoy fishing, being in the outdoors, painting, writing, and spending time with my family.

I am passionate about supporting individuals in healing from past trauma, strengthen a sense of purpose, instill hope, and thrive. As a certified Brainspotting practitioner, I seek to work with clients who are curious about their options to address and heal from past trauma. I am also an EAGALA certified mental health professional, offering equine assisted psychotherapy right here in Fairbanks. As an LPC-S, I work with pre-licensed clinicians to support their journey toward licensure.   

I currently have a waitlist and am not able to take new clients. If you are interested in being added to the waitlist, please feel free to reach out!

I’m Angelina (she/her), a Latinx, first-generation, neurodivergent, pre-licensed counselor working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Alaska. I provide counseling to adults, couples (LGBTQ+ and poly couples are welcome), and youth on a case-by-case basis.

I value authenticity and bring my genuine self into the therapeutic space. This may include moments where I get excited explaining counseling concepts or occasionally stumble over my words, something I see as part of being human and building real connection. 

My approach is trauma-informed and centers on helping clients regulate their nervous systems and find long-term relief.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitionerand a Certified Mental Health Specialist in the EAGALA Model of Equine-Assisted Therapy. I also integrate other evidence-based modalities into my work and will soon be trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to further support trauma processing and nervous system regulation.

I have experience working in residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, community mental health, and private practice. I work with individuals experiencing prolonged grief, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship concerns, substance use, autism, ADHD, and concerns related to military service and first responder experiences. I am also pursuing additional specialized training in the treatment of OCD.

I truly love what I do and deeply respect the complexities of the worlds my clients live in. My hope is that you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered in our sessions, and that you recognize the courage it takes to seek relief and change.

I am not accepting new clients at this time, currently building my waitlist,
