I enjoy helping children overcome and heal from life's challenges. I believe that teamwork with parents is critical to kid's healing and healthy development. With over 25 years of professional experience, I specialize in treating children ages 2-18. I offer effective evidence based treatment for early childhood through adolescence. Children's stumbling blocks can be rooted in divorce, learning or developmental disabilities, loss, grief, behavioral difficulties, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety and academic struggles. Counseling can help turn these struggles into valuable life experience and increased confidence.

Hi! I am currently seeing clients in person in Helena and providing telehealth across Western Montana. I am a relationship-oriented therapist striving to accept clients unconditionally wherever they are at in life. I believe (and research supports) therapy works best when client and therapist work together toward understanding the origins of dissatisfaction and finding freedom to truly be oneself. This process makes possible change that enhances the relationship with oneself and with others. I work with clients to develop greater openness to experience and greater capacity for the complexity of a richly lived life.

We all experience times in our lives where we need a little extra support, empathy, compassion, and understanding. Navigating the ebb and flows of life can be tedious and can take a toll on your mind, body, and spirit. Working through the barriers that our work life and family life can present can be difficult.

My journey into becoming a therapist began well before I was born with the inheritance of generational family mental health issues. As a teenager, I was drawn to art making as a means of processing difficulties I was experiencing and did not have the verbal understanding nor support system to address. I pursued a career in the arts through university and apprenticeships but was not fully satisfied and needed more internal investigation for what connection I was having with art and my psyche. I studied anthropology, took classes in psychology, and was exposed to indigenous healing methods. Eventually, I discovered art therapy.

In therapy I don't just help people walk through their struggles, I help them discover what those problems are, and where they came from. In the office, I use psychodynamic, existential, and relational approaches to understand both why folks want to change, and why they haven't been able to, fully honoring that reluctance in order to make therapy enduring and empowering, ages 3 through 93, for families, couples, and individuals.

If relationships are not fulfilling, self-esteem is faltering, coping is a challenge, a life change is coming your way, or you just need some guidance, I can help. We will work through these feelings to find the life you want to live. My job: direct but compassionate insight and feedback. Your job: be open and be you. Commutes/transportation/family life/work etc. often get in the way of making the time for self-care that we need. To accommodate such obstacles, I also offer sessions online through a secure, confidential website.

The most common issues I help with are emotional trauma, relationship difficulties, workplace difficulties and longer term mental health/illness issues. I worked in state government for 15 years. The understanding that I developed regarding how organizations tend to function is valuable in helping clients dealing with workplace issues.

Adolescence can be a trying time for young people and their families. Power struggles and communication problems create conflicts that seem unresolvable. Add complications from issues like trauma or anxiety and frustrations increase. By creating honest, respectful relationships I've been able to help teens pursue independence in appropriate and healthy ways. Often communication opens and hostility fades. This has been the main focus of my practice. Working with families I have seen the benefits of strengthening couple's relationships and helping parents become their healthiest selves. Whether through managing stress or treating mental illness healthy adults make healthy kids.
