NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS- WAITLIST ONLY
I have a deep conviction that everyone desires to face life head-on, to find their place, and to experience a profound sense of empowerment and overall well-being. To help individuals achieve these aspirations, I adopt a collaborative approach, utilizing a diverse range of trauma-informed and evidence-based techniques. These include Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Transpersonal Psychology, and Interpersonal Neurobiology. My psychotherapeutic approach is highly intuitive, enabling individuals to flourish socially, emotionally, and psychologically. Moreover, I encourage clients to gain profound insights into themselves, fostering a more integrated and holistic sense of well-being.
Originally hailing from a cattle ranch in Ennis, Montana, my journey led me to spend nearly a decade living and working in Oregon. However, in early 2019, my husband and I returned to Montana with our two young children. We now reside on a small urban farm teeming with 18 animals, including chickens, horses, rabbits, dogs, and a cat. Additionally, we tend to an incredible garden. Outside of my work, I relish activities such as hiking, skiing, gardening, horseback riding, and playing bluegrass music—all while basking in the glorious sunshine.
In terms of qualifications, I hold licenses as a clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and a school counselor (LSC) in Montana. Furthermore, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and possess a certification in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). Additionally, I am a Certified Babywearing Educator (CBE) and played a pivotal role as the co-founder and former Board President of Babywearing International of Portland. During my tenure, I championed the cause of accessible babywearing through the provision of free educational resources. My professional experience encompasses various roles, including serving as a school counselor in the public school system, working as a child and family therapist in a community mental health agency, and providing mental health therapy services to diverse clients in a private practice setting. In 2013, I established LD Counseling Services in Oregon before relocating the practice to rural Montana in the Spring of 2019.
To enhance my expertise, I have pursued additional training in multiple areas. These include the neurobiology of trauma, child and adolescent therapy, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, self-harming behaviors, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), equine-assisted psychotherapy, Collaborative Problem Solving, mindfulness techniques, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Hakomi Therapy, Art Therapy, Yoga Calm®, and the Love and Logic® family education program. I also fulfill the role of a clinical counseling supervisor and serve as an adjunct faculty instructor at Montana State University in the counseling department. Currently, I am actively pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision to further contribute to the field.
