About
I value connection and relationship-building as essential to the healing process, offering empathy, active listening, and a safe, supportive space grounded in my understanding of trauma, loss, and the importance of trust in therapy.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 29 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, self-esteem concerns, personality disorders, and life transitions. I have provided care in both clinical and community-based settings and value creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space for healing.
I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling and human services from Capella University in Minneapolis. My approach is humanistic and client-centered, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based practices. I focus on building empathy, collaboration, and structure to support meaningful and sustainable change.
You hold the key to your own healing and growth. My role is not to fix you, but to walk alongside you as a guide, helping you access your strengths and move forward with clarity and confidence. If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, please reach out when you are ready to begin.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Billings, MT usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Billings, MT offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

While a bit of turbulence in our close connections is normal, negative dynamics can become really harmful when they’re allowed to persist for extended periods of time.
