We'll help you find a great therapist for you.
I grew up in the Midwest and moved to Alaska in 1975 where I have remained to this day. I attended the University of Mn where I received a Bachelor's Degree and the University of Alaska Anchorage where I received my Master's Degree in Social Work. I have worked with children and families experiencing trauma; adoption; aging; living with life threatening/chronic diseases; palliative and hospice care and as a dialysis medical social worker. I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2016. Since I moved to Alaska; I have continued to enjoy the outdoors; raising/training dogs; horses and water sports.

What is Talkspace?
Talkspace is the most convenient and affordable way to connect with a licensed therapist — all from the privacy of your device. Send your therapist text, audio, picture, and video messages at any time, and they will respond daily, 5x/week. If you’re looking for the “face-to-face” therapy experience, we also offer Live Video Sessions so you and your therapist can plan to connect in real-time.
How do I get started?
You’ll be prompted to answer a few questions about yourself and your preferences for therapy, and our matching algorithm will suggest three potential therapists. Choose the one that’s the best fit for you, and follow the steps to set up your Talkspace account.
How do I communicate with my therapist?
Your Talkspace “room” is available 24/7 so you never have to wait to share what’s on your mind. Message your therapist whenever something comes up — whether you’re commuting, at the office, or lying in bed. For all Live Video Sessions, you and your therapist will schedule an appointment in advance. All communication is hosted on the Talkspace platform.
How much does Talkspace cost?
Talkspace is a subscription service, offering various plans so you can customize your treatment in a way that’s right for you. Plans range from $65 to $100 per week, but there are no contracts and you can cancel your plan anytime.
How does Talkspace protect my privacy?
At Talkspace, your security is our #1 priority. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and encrypted banking-grade, industry standard technology. Talkspace always requires a password for use, and our iOS app accommodates Touch ID and Face ID on enabled devices. For more details, read our Privacy Policy.
