Anxiety? Trauma? Childhood behavior issues? Relationship issues? Pregnancy or postpartum worries? If you are seeking to face mental health struggles, create healthy relationships, process past trauma, or gain skills to support behavioral health in a genuine, empathetic, and caring environment where you can be yourself and be wholly supported in your journey, this is the place. I use a whole-person approach to therapy that focuses on your unique, authentic self and your strengths to support your mental, emotional, and relational goals.
I specialize in supporting children, women, and families and have a heart for helping people face trauma and mental health diagnoses with no shame. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, EMDR, and animal-assisted therapy and use your interests, curiosity, play, and the body-brain connection to support your specific goals.
If you are looking for an ally who understands and encourages authenticity while building connection, resilience, and safety, please reach out! I have immediate availability for both in-person services in downtown Great Falls and telehealth services for all of Montana.

I use an integrated therapy approach that is shame-free and srengths-based. I use EMDR for trauma processing, attachment theory for building healthy relationships with yourself and others, polyvagal-informed theory to integrate the body and mind, DBT/CBT for building emotional language and coping and regulation skills, and others as needed to foster whole-personess.
