About Me

About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Montana. As a clinician, I seek to engage with my clients in ways that guide them towards awareness and understanding of themselves. I believe that this awareness is what enables us to develop realistic goals, find meaning, and find satisfaction in life despite the inevitable obstacles. I love the work that I do and would love the opportunity to see if we are a good fit!

Education

I received my Master’s Degree from George Fox University in Marriage Family and Couple’s Counseling. My coursework and training has given me an understanding of how human development, brain development and relationships interplay in the formation of who we are. My program emphasized systemic theory, helping me understand clients as holistic beings.

I received my BA in Psychology with an emphasis in Couple and Family Therapy from Cedarville University.

Additional Training

My graduate level internship took place at a private practice where I worked primarily with teens learning Cognitive Behavioral techniques, as well as implementing my special training in Sand Tray therapy.

I completed additional training at George Fox University through the NW Center for Play Therapy Studies with classes in play therapy, filial therapy, and sand tray therapy as well as attending 15 hours of play therapy training.

I am in the process of completing a grief counseling certification.
