My Approach
At the heart of my work is the relationship I build with each client. I believe that healing and growth happen in the context of a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic connection. My primary orientation is psychodynamic and attachment-based, which means I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and early experiences that continue to shape the present. At the same time, I draw on practical, evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop tools for coping with stress, managing emotions, and navigating daily challenges.
​
For couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that helps partners understand their underlying needs, reduce conflict, and strengthen their emotional bond.
​
Together, we’ll tailor therapy to your unique need, balancing insight, skill-building, and supportive connection.
About Me
I am a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My career has taken me through a variety of settings, including community mental health, homeless services, reentry and forensic programs, and substance use treatment. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience of people navigating complex challenges, and they continue to inform the way I practice today.
​
Currently, I serve as a clinical supervisor and manager of a primary care behavioral health program at a federally qualified health center in Missoula, Montana. In this role, I support both patients and clinicians, and collaborate closely with medical providers to integrate mental health care into the broader healthcare system.
​
I grew up in New York and completed my education and early professional training in California, where I also spent the first several years of my career. In 2024, I relocated to the mountains of western Montana with my partner, our two cats, and our dog. Living here has been both grounding and inspiring, and I bring that same sense of balance and presence into my work with clients
