Stacey is the owner and clinical director of Chugach Counseling, an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and the former president of the Alaska EMDR Network. She has been working with adolescents and adults for 19 years, and as a licensed clinician for 12 of those. She specializes in complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles, with particular focus on teens 16+, young adults, and adults. She is passionate about working with first responders and the military community.
What Stacey cares about most, above all modalities or techniques, is helping people become honest witnesses to their own experience. Not collapsing into shame. Not bypassing into functioning. Not losing themselves in the process. That kind of honest, grounded self-awareness is what makes lasting change possible, and it’s what she orients toward in every session.
Her approach is somatic, process-oriented, and deeply nonpathological. She works from the inside out, tracking what the body is holding, what patterns have been protecting you, and what younger parts of you may still be carrying. She moves fluidly between EMDR, parts work, somatic processing, and relational approaches, based on what the moment calls for rather than a fixed protocol. If you struggle to connect with your body, tend to intellectualize, or feel stuck in patterns you didn’t choose, her approach was built with you in mind.
Over the past 9 years, Stacey has pursued extensive advanced training in EMDR treatment of moral injury, attachment disorders, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, OCD, substance use, Military & FR, anxiety, depression, birth trauma and pregnancy loss, grief and mourning, personality disorders, self-harm, sexual abuse, suicidality, and survivor’s guilt among others.

Before private practice, Stacey directed an adolescent residential treatment center for Alaska Native teens and worked as a crisis clinician responding to children, adults, and families navigating psychiatric emergencies, suicide, and substance use. She moved fully into outpatient practice in 2017.
Stacey was born and raised in the lower 48 and landed in Alaska in 2016 via the Military, and by choice ever since. When she’s not in session, you’ll find her on a trail with her dogs, riding her horse Bandit, fat-tire biking, or skiing.
