I’m a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides practical, person-centered telepsychiatry for adolescents and. My practice primarily focuses on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with supportive therapy and skills-based interventions offered as appropriate during follow-up visits.

My style is warm, practical, evidence-based, and non-judgmental. I work with clients to better understand their symptoms, review treatment options, and develop a medication plan that is thoughtful, individualized, and easy to follow. Common areas of treatment include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, sleep concerns, and life stressors that impact mental health.

I value safety, transparency, and shared decision-making. We’ll discuss medication options, potential benefits, risks, and alternatives in plain language, including when it may make sense to adjust, simplify, or titrate medications. I offer supportive therapy that may be incorporated into medication management visits.

Visits are 100% virtual for your convenience. I offer evening, and weekend availability, and clear communication between sessions for urgent medication-related concerns. I accept insurance through Headway and welcome new clients.

Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.

Virtual • Helena, MT


I’m Morgan, licensed in Montana and currently my physical office is in Billings. Over the past 15 years, I have worked in diverse settings including hospital-based care, long-term residential treatment, community services, and outpatient therapy. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on the challenges individuals face and the many paths to healing.

I’m not here to “fix” you—I’m here to help you grow into the version of you you want to be. My priority is creating a safe and respectful space that focuses on mutual trust and a working partnership. Together we will identify your goals, , develop strategies, and build skills that foster long-term growth and resilience. Change isn't magic; it’s practice, consistency, and the right strategies tailored just for you.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
