About

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Sociology in 1990 from the College of Great Falls. I worked at various jobs but nothing that was very fulfilling. At the urging of my mentor I went back to school where I then received my Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Great Falls in 2000. I am a Licensed Certified Professional Counselor (LCPC)

I am licensed in Montana with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD and anger issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and help you. I feel that right now is a particularly difficult time for many individuals. There is a significant rise in the anxiety levels many are experiencing given the uncertainty of where society will turn next. There is also a significant amount of depression that individuals are experiencing. People out there need some support and some help and I know that I have to help.
