Having a safe and supportive place to explore one's story can lead to wellness, healing and growth. I practice from a holistic, integrated approach regarding mental health and/or substance use issues, understanding that increasing mental health and healing also can help clients manage triggers and cravings to use alcohol and/or drugs that have led to problems or have complicated their lives. I also understand that each individual is unique, and it is crucial as a therapist to use flexibility, understanding and active listening to work together on treatment goals that will work best for each client.

I incorporate Strength-Based approaches into my therapeutic work as well Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused approaches when appropriate to help individuals move towards growth and change. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address unresolved traumatic wounds in adults and adolescents.

I began my counseling training in 2014 as an intern in addiction counseling and since graduating from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master's Program at the University of Montana in 2015 I have been working from an integrated approach to mental health and addiction in individual and group counseling, including the Missoula DBT Collaborative program.
