I am a dually Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in Montana. I have been working in the Mental Health field for over 15 years. My style of therapy is Client Centered and Client Focused. I believe the client is the expert of the situation, and it is my job to help him understand his situation better. In order to do this, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with Psycho-education. It is important to understand the genetic and environmental influences that contribute to the ways in which a client thinks, feels, and behaves.
