Inspire and Empower

I am a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and life coach, and I've worked with a diverse range of people in different life situations. Since starting my practice, I have begun providing therapy and life coaching to give additional support to people going through the transformative process of growth and healing.

Throughout my career, I’ve been involved with community organizations that raise public awareness of mental health. My background includes public speaking, legislative involvement, private practice, and crisis therapy. I’ve worked with the Hospice Association and Alzheimer’s Association, and I’ve also been a guest speaker for the University of Montana Law School and other legislative groups.

I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work degree, minoring in gerontology, from the University of Montana. After graduating, I worked for about 2 years in the area of social work before pursuing a Clinical Master's of Social Work degree from Walla Walla University, focusing on addiction and aging. I was on the Montana Gerontology Society board of directors, and collaborated with the Montana Geriatric Education Center to promote annual conferences and continuing education on healthy aging.

I then completed 3000 hours of clinical studies at a public mental health facility before taking my licensure exam. Upon becoming licensed, I started my private practice and underwent 3 months of classes and training in life coaching. I am now also certified in treating eating disorders as well as trauma.
