Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana with experience supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. I also work full time within the VA system, which has given me a deep appreciation for the unique struggles veterans and first responders carry. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I want every client to feel heard and

understood from our very first conversation. Together we identify what is getting in the way and build practical, sustainable coping skills so you can move forward with more confidence. You do not need to have all the answers

before reaching out. Taking that first step can be the beginning of meaningful change, and I am glad to help guide that process.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DialecticalBehavior Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches, adapting each to fit your goals and pace. I have particular experience with anxiety, depression, trauma

and PTSD, dual diagnosis, emotional regulation, and borderline personality concerns. Given my background with veterans and first responders through my work at the VA, I bring genuine understanding to the pressures those

populations face. My style is strength-based and culturally sensitive, meeting you where you are rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework.

What you can expect from me

I currently offer online sessions on Fridays and select evenings and weekends, which keeps scheduling flexible for busy lives. If you are feeling stuck or unsure where to start, I would be glad to talk through what you are facing and how therapy might help. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit. Your first session is entirely about getting comfortable and ensuring you feel safe and supported.
