Managed by Thriveworks. Your call or email may go to a representative.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with veterans, children, families, couples, and adults navigating trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in warmth, honesty, and practical support, helping clients build resilience, improve communication, and move toward greater clarity and emotional well-being.
I earned my master’s degree in mental health and rehabilitation counseling from Montana State University–Billings. My background includes service in both the Navy and the Army, as well as experience teaching middle school, which informs my ability to support individuals across developmental stages with structure, empathy, and a real-world perspective.
I believe healing looks different for everyone, and I am committed to providing care that reflects your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a supportive, down-to-earth environment where you can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward a life marked by growth, meaning, and resilience.
