About
As a compassionate counselor, I offer evidence-based care that honors your story, respects the weight of lived experiences, and transforms healing into clear, doable steps.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with over 32 years of experience providing trauma-informed, holistic, and evidence-based therapy to children and adults. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions. My style is warm, steady, and gently lighthearted, offering calm, clarity, and practical tools that support meaningful, real-life change.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical counseling from Montana State University Northern. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness-based practices, and strength-based care, with attention to nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work.
You deserve a space that feels safe, respectful, and supportive. Together, we will honor your story, reduce overwhelm, and build manageable steps toward healing and resilience. If you are ready for steady, compassionate support, I would be honored to work with you.

As a clinician who integrates evidence-based therapy with real-world insight, I help clients translate self-understanding into meaningful action and lasting change.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience providing individual therapy to adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, health-related concerns, and life transitions. Many of the individuals I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking greater clarity, emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of control in their lives. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Walla Walla University. I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and solution-focused therapy, to help clients understand patterns, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Together, we will build a thoughtful and supportive space focused on insight, skill-building, and forward progress, allowing you to move toward greater clarity, balance, and growth one step at a time.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on assisting individuals in processing traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional intensity, and facilitating the integration of the traumatic experience into their past, enabling them to progress in their lives. This process follows four steps: history-taking, preparing the client, assessing the target memory, and processing the memory and finding an adaptive resolution. After this, Thriveworks EMDR therapists in Billings will continue to help individuals process the memory and evaluate the results of the treatment to ensure its effectiveness.
EMDR is primarily employed to aid individuals who have endured trauma, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and who have experienced other distressing life events.
EMDR therapy is generally less suitable for individuals currently experiencing acute trauma or those who have not yet acquired fundamental coping and distress tolerance skills. To engage in EMDR therapy effectively, one must possess a certain degree of distress tolerance.
EMDR tends to be very effective in relieving the negative symptoms associated with trauma. In a study performed by Francine Shapiro called The Role of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in Medicine: Addressing the Psychological and Physical Symptoms Stemming from Adverse Life Experiences (2014), results showed that after just three EMDR sessions, 84% of participants reported a remission of PTSD diagnosis. EMDR will often have a higher success rate for survivors of a single traumatic event than for those who have experienced repeated or multiple instances of trauma when EMDR is performed for the same amount of time. This is due to the increased intensity of the trauma and the need to process multiple events.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
