Hello! I am a neuro-affirming licensed clinical social worker (candidate) specializing in both parent-child relationships and first responder support. I provide therapy, assessments, advocacy, parent coaching and related services to children, adolescents, adults, parents and families in Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. I am certified in Trauma Focused- CPT for children, trained in individual and group crisis management through ICISF, couples counseling through the Gottman Institute, and am a Circle of Security and Anger Management Facilitator.
I have a deep understanding of Autism, AD/HD, C-PTSD, and related neurological differences. I am passionate about fostering healthy relationships and connections. As a Navy Veteran, former Wildland Firefighter, Mother, and Social Worker, I have a diverse background in crisis management, education, and advocacy.
My therapeutic approach is relational, strengths based, sensory integrated and individualized to meet you and your family’s needs. My lived experience has helped guide my clinical practice and provided me with the ability to travel with you towards healing and hope. I am now accepting a limited amount of clients. Please reach out if we seem like a good fit!
