It’s lovely to meet you.
My work experience includes working with individuals over the past 5 years managing depression, anxiety, and difficult transitions. I approach these experiences with a variety of evidence-based lenses, adjusting to what best meets the needs of my clients, including dance/movement therapy, psychotherapy, trauma informed practices, and mindfulness based approaches. I’ve worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including private practice, school-based, community mental health, and partial hospitalization. Just as I encourage my clients to do, I continue to seek opportunities to learn, and discover new approaches and ways of moving through my therapeutic practice.
I hold active licenses in Oregon (C7603) and Montana (BBH-LCPC-LIC-64926). I’m a Board Certified Dance/movement Therapist (BC-DMT-1521).
I’ve called many places “home” — Portland, OR, Philadelphia, PA (where I earned my Masters in Dance/movement Therapy and Counseling at Drexel University), New York — but ultimately Missoula is where my heart found its home among the Montana rivers and mountains.
I love to spend my time moving and being outdoors. I’m a dancer, yogi, skier, backpacker, and whitewater kayaker. These activities fill my cup — they allow me to move and explore through wild, breathtaking places, in a variety of ways, and include friends and loved ones on my adventures. Through these activities, I’ve found communities that invite me to spend time with others in embodied and authentic ways.
