Hello, I'm Valerie!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

​I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.

You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. I’ve worked extensively with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and military and Veteran-related concerns, as well as a wide range of life challenges. These include relationship and family conflict, parenting stress, career transitions and workplace challenges, financial stress, grief and loss, identity and self-esteem concerns, major life changes, caregiving stress, burnout, and adjusting to new roles or stages of life such as pregnancy, postpartum, or empty nesting. I also have experience supporting individuals managing mood disorders, family-of-origin dynamics.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing specialized, Mental Health care, and private Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment to individuals across Montana, specifically in our rural and frontier communities.

I understand that living in rural Montana often means traveling hours for care. My mission is to bring high-quality, evidence-based medication management directly to your home via secure telehealth. I believe in treating the whole person, including underlying anxiety or trauma.

I love the outdoors, my family, pets, books, and art/theater/dance. I have a passion for validating and encouraging individuals. I look forward to walking along side you on your therapy journey.

I am a fully licensed therapist (LCSW) specialized in supporting adults (18+) navigating the exhausting loops of anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, major life transitions, and burnout. My goal is to make therapy feel less like a clinical interrogation and more like a warm, supportive conversation with someone who is entirely on your team (and who will never suggest a juice cleanse or judge your late-night doom-scrolling).

I came to the field of mental health later in life, after a long career in corporate settings. What does that mean for you? It means I bring deep, real-world experience from the front lines of high-stress careers, parenting, marriage, and life’s unexpected "plot twists".

I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah and Montana. I recently completed my PhD in Psychology at Walden University. I completed my Master's degree at Liberty University and worked in an outpatient substance abuse section for 6 years, then transitioned to the VA for a couple of years. I work with a trauma-informed mental health mindset, dedicated to supporting individuals and families struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship problems, and trauma. Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Gottman couples therapy, CBT, and DBT. I am available most weekdays.
