MS, LCPC, PMH-C, CPD, CFRC

I graduated from Montana State University (MSU) Bozeman with a Master of Science degree in Health and Human Development-Mental Health Counseling in 2016. I was a post-master's intern at Counseling and Psychological Services at MSU and the Eating Disorder Center of Montana (EDCMT). I continued to work as a primary therapist at EDCMT until 2019, when I decided to start my private practice.

​In my private practice, I continue to work with folks who experience troubled relationships with food, eating, and body image. Therapy consists of assessment of troubling behaviors and thought patterns, assessment of other mood issues like anxiety or depression, creating structured challenges of rigid behaviors (with the support of a dietitian when necessary), implementation of coping strategies and mindfulness techniques to cope with thoughts and behaviors, and a deep dive into emotional experiences to uncover the driving forces and factors.

In May of 2020 I gave birth to my first child and experienced postpartum depression and dysphoric milk ejection reflex (D-MER). Through my challenges as a new mom, I decided to specialize in perinatal mental health and became certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International (PSI). Additionally, I am trained as a Certified Postpartum Doula (CPD) through Childbirth International. I have additional training through PSI on Perinatal Loss & Grief and Paternal Perinatal Mental Health.

Lastly, I am a Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC). My hope in supporting first responders and their families is to provide time and space to process the traumas, as well as support loved ones through the unique challenges of first responder family members may experience.
