As a dedicated mental health therapist with over a decade of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages cultivate healing and resilience. Growing up in Arlee, Montana, I learned the importance of connection and community, which shapes my therapeutic approach today.
I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach where building trust and rapport is essential. I create a safe, inclusive space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions collaboratively, emphasizing empowerment and effective coping strategies.
I use a variety of treatment models to meet my clients' unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for negative thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for intense emotions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing. I also incorporate play and expressive arts therapy to engage younger clients
Committed to lifelong learning, I stay current with the latest research to deliver innovative care in individual, couple, and group therapy. My ultimate goal is to guide individuals toward greater well-being, helping them uncover their strengths and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
