Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a trauma therapist in Montana with ten years of pastoral experience prior to attending social work school. My background, while grounded in pastoral ministry, also comes from the liberal side, with a basis of acceptance and gentleness for all, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or creed. I have worked with all age groups in both careers, moving seamlessly from youth work to sitting gently with people facing chronic illness and end of life issues.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and I’m working on training in Internal Family Systems. I’ve spent years working with co-occurring disorders and finding that most of my clientele were struggling with trauma issues. PTSD is one of the most common disorders to be complicated by substance use disorders. I’ve worked as well with Multi-Systemic Therapy, and have a passion for finding ways to allow my clients to regain control where chaos has taken over. For the last two years I’ve concentrated on teenagers in a group home setting – more trauma and more co-occurring disorders and more work to get families to engage as well.
LCSW: 11 years. Ordained United Church of Christ: 28 years. Offering CBT, EMDR, client focused work in mood disorders, trauma and process addictions, also work with LGBT issues.

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or major life transitions, research and practice have found that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One major advantage is practical flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy life.
Each therapist involved in remote care is a licensed professional, and if a different fit is desired it is possible to switch providers. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, effective way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
