I have been working with adolescents, adults, and families for 4 years. I have also been living and working on the Flathead Indian Reservation for 19 years. I believe that everyone has the strength to get through life's toughest challenges with the right tools and support. I pull from a range of different treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused and person centered. It is also important for me to understand and listen to what each person needs and feels is important in their own treatment and healing.
