I have experience working with clients of all ages and a passion for working with children and adolescents. As a part of my clinical training I gained experience working at a clinic specializing with children working through abuse and trauma and in an out-patient community counseling center. In addition to clinical work, I have experience in the school setting working with children experiencing behavioral issues and those facing difficulties on the autism spectrum. I also have experience with adults working through grief, depression, and life transitions, as well as parental support.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, helpless or is your life out of control in some way? Have you experienced depression, anxiety, addictions, or traumas that affect your ability to sustain relationships? Do you seek a safe, supportive place in which to explore your feelings, thoughts in order to turn your life in a new direction? For 23 years, I have helped people understand and change their behavior and motivations using primarily a cognitive (thinking based) behavior therapy approach which examines harmful thinking that supports negative feelings, and behavior patterns, so that you become equipped to change and grow.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, powerless, helpless to control life issues, a healthy first step toward realizing positive change in your life, is to invest in therapy. By discovering your strengths, gifts, and unique perception, we can begin utilizing these attributes toward effective thoughtful problem solving and decision making behaviors.

If you are hurting, angry, sad, frustrated, or life just isn't turning out as planned, you probably want it to change as soon as possible. My approach helps you build on your strengths and teach you skills to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. I want you to be able to have the peace in your life that is missing. You probably already have the solution in you. I help you discover that solution and become strong enough to follow it, through our discussions, teaching you new skills, and having you practice/develop the new skills between sessions.

It has been a privilege to assist children, adults, and families in times of changes, uncertainty, adjustments, & struggles. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified EMDR therapist, an IFS-EMDR therapist, Prepared & Enrich counselor for couples, completed Level 1 & 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, & Emotionally Focus Therapy (EFT) for couples. I am trained in numerous therapeutic approaches. In a counseling session, we will explore emotional & cognitive barriers, past & present relationships, & collaboratively devise therapy goals. There are many different reasons to seek counseling in all stages of your life.

I am a collaboratively oriented counselor. I believe that successful change is dependent on your enthusiastic participation in the process. I see myself as a sort of guide and someone who can offer alternative perspectives which may lead you to new ways of thinking about and acting on your circumstances. I believe that ultimately you contain the solutions to the things you bring to therapy. I will do my best to help you access those solutions and find your best possible outcome.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from all cultural backgrounds and from all walks of life. I offer outreach therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. After graduate school, I moved to Massachusetts, where I worked in both the traditional office setting, and in outreach, where I counseled clients in their homes. My lifelong love and appreciation for the outdoors called me to make a bold move to Montana. This is where I was exposed to the many opportunities to use my love of the outdoors to enrich the therapeutic process.

Aberrations in the human condition can be very complex with roots that extend throughout the bio-psycho-social context. It often takes more than one treatment modality. I approach each client with an open mind to discover what will work in each client as I see them. Each client is given resources for self-discovery, self-healing, and self-empowerment.

The journey of life can be happy & promising. However, if your life has begun to feel like a never ending battle, circumstances and issues overwhelm you, feelings of depression or anxiety burden you, important relationships have broken down, abuse or traumatic events are robbing you of peace, I am here to offer compassion, guidance and a ‘safe place’ to share your deepest wounds or concerns. In these very uncertain times, many families and individuals are under a great deal of extra stress, putting further strain on relationships and problems that already existed.
