About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 9+ years of experience working predominately with Indigenous people and adolescents to transitional age adults. I have specialized experience with grief, shame, LGBTQIA2S+ related concerns, and trauma; along with many other topics my clients wanted to work on. I feel that awareness of your internal world is important to then take back control. I believe in mutual respect, meeting you emotionally where you are, supporting your treatment goals, and cheerleading your progress on your healing journey.

Blanche has been a life saver. She understands me, she listens, she remembers my stories or problems, gives me feedback and advice. If I could hire her as my therapist I would. I greatly appreciate her, her knowledge and feedback. She makes me think of things to help me, that I haven't before. Thank you Blanhe, you have helped me so much.
