About

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with over 21 years of experience working as a therapist. My journey in the field started in reunification of families whose children had been removed due to neglect and abuse. Most recently I was trained as a Diversity and Inclusion Counselor for my work with service members and their families. I have extensive experience in helping clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss, family of origin issues, physical trauma or emotional abuse, just to name a few.

My counseling style is warm and interactive, taking time to build rapport as it is a solid foundation for the future counselor/client relationship. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Empathy is key. However, I am direct and honest with clients. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek help from a therapist. I love to help and educate clients. I am here to listen and help you learn and apply life changing tools. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you.
