About
I am a trauma therapist in Montana with ten years of pastoral experience prior to attending social work school. My background, while grounded in pastoral ministry, also comes from the liberal side, with a basis of acceptance and gentleness for all, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or creed. I have worked with all age groups in both careers, moving seamlessly from youth work to sitting gently with people facing chronic illness and end of life issues.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and I'm working on training in Internal Family Systems. I've spent years working with co-occurring disorders and finding that most of my clientele were struggling with trauma issues. PTSD is one of the most common disorders to be complicated by substance use disorders. I've worked as well with Multi-Systemic Therapy, and have a passion for finding ways to allow my clients to regain control where chaos has taken over. For the last two years I've concentrated on teenagers in a group home setting - more trauma and more co-occurring disorders and more work to get families to engage as well.
LCSW: 11 years. Ordained United Church of Christ: 28 years. Offering CBT, EMDR, client focused work in mood disorders, trauma and process addictions, also work with LGBT issues.
