I work with adolescents and adults whose long term goals are personal empowerment, stress management and building strategies to effectively manage life's challenges.
I believe that growth and change is a necessary process for individuals, relationships and family systems. My role as a therapist for the past 23 years has been to provide a catalyst for this change process. I use techniques that are evidence based, current and provide consistent results.

Life, I believe, is a continuous journey of growth, and I am dedicated to fostering a courageous space for you to venture beyond the familiar. Together, we will create a secure, non-judgmental, and culturally attuned environment that not only respects your unique narrative but also empowers you to script a new chapter, one where your goals are not just envisioned but actively pursued and achieved. My therapeutic practice is anchored in a suite of evidence-based modalities, each chosen for its profound capacity to facilitate healing and growth.

I primarily work with teens and adults who are experiencing or have experienced major life transitions, anxiety, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, relationship struggles, depression, or religious trauma.
Navigating life's various challenges can feel deeply overwhelming at times, and the idea of reaching out for help can be daunting. Therapy can provide a safe, helpful space for you to learn more about yourself and how you relate to the world. I believe that we are all capable of a deeper understanding of self, which can help us gain more insight into our struggles and how we coexist with them. I approach each session with the strengths-based understanding that every client is the expert on themselves and their own life.

Counseling can help us understand our experiences and relationships, work towards our goals, address specific symptoms, and manage diagnoses. Counseling can also go beyond any narrow definition or focus. It can be for anyone who is interested in what could arise from this radically open yet controlled and limited relationship. Whatever the client's unique experiences and concerns, I approach counseling as a process that combines pragmatism with openness, kindness and encouragement, and I think of wellbeing as something that is defined by the client—by their values, relationships, history, desires, contexts, and more.

I help a lot of folks who are going through a change and want help adjusting to their new reality. Others want to make a change, but old habits and patterns, like streaming a series online or playing a game on your phone, are getting in the way of their goals. Let's find out what those barriers are and help you build a purposeful and fulfilling life. I’m taking new clients for teletherapy appointments and have availability in the mornings (between 6 AM - 1 PM). I accept most insurance policies and self-pay, but unfortunately, I cannot accept anyone covered by MT Medicaid.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, as well as a licensed addictions counselor, and have an extensive history working with teens, couples, adults and families.
Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.

People are often drawn to therapy by a catalyst, a traumatic experience or formative moment awakens a troubling realization that all is not right. Whether we lean on unhealthy coping skills, abuse drugs or alcohol, engage in toxic relationships, or any number of other visible actualizations of internal struggle, the trauma makes itself known and heard. Engaging therapy is an important first step in facing those emotions and beginning to re-process them in a manner that serves the self and paves a road forward.
