Therapy is an investment in yourself and your wellbeing; it can be supportive, challenging, eye-opening, stimulating, and life-changing. Finding a good fit with your therapist is one of the most important factors that enables a positive experience in therapy.

Therapy is unique for each individual; I begin the process by working to deeply see you, going beyond the surface and working to fully understand your history, concerns, and goals in order to offer you a therapy experience tailored to your needs. I am active, engaged and collaborative as a therapist, and I value being able to give and receive direct feedback in order to assist you.

My background and training have led me to work in ways that prioritize both an understanding and ability to intervene with present concerns, behaviors and patterns, as well as to deeply understand the older roots of current challenges. One of the gifts of therapy is being able to acknowledge and compassionately observe some of our oldest patterns and gain insight and support to shift them when they no longer serve us.

I would love to speak with you to hear about your concerns and to mutually determine how working together could assist you in reaching your goals. I offer a free initial 15-minute phone consultation.

You can contact me at 406-551-6385 (text and voicemail are welcome).

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from Wesleyan University and my doctorate in clinical psychology in 2010 from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I completed my post-doctoral training at Cornell University. I have been licensed as a psychologist since 2012. Prior to being in private practice, I worked at an LGBTQ+ health center and at multiple university counseling centers.

I was trained as a generalist and have extensive experience working with a wide variety of concerns. However, my particular areas of expertise are:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• If you are seeking treatment for OCD, I am happy to explain treatment options in-depth during a free consultation. I offer Inference-based CBT for OCD (ICBT) as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) 

Anxiety including panic disorder, health anxiety,  perinatal anxiety & phobias

Relationship concerns and relational challenges including addressing personality dynamics that affect relationships

Grief and loss

Perinatal mood disorders

• Anxiety, depression or obsessive-compulsive symptoms that arise during pregnancy or the postpartum period

Major life changes 

• Coping with and adapting to pregnancy and related concerns, new parenthood, illness, job/career changes, divorce, ailing parents, caregiving concerns, and other life stressors

Neurodivergence

• Decreasing internalized shame and owning strengths

• Parenting neurodivergent children

• New diagnoses in adulthood

Couples Therapy

I work with a limited number of couples at a time; I work from an EFT and RLT perspective to assist couples in identifying the deeper patterns driving recurring conflicts. I also specialize in couples work in which one or both partners are diagnosed with OCD or an anxiety disorder

I provide therapy services to adults (18+) and offer telehealth services to clients in Montana (license PSY 949) and California (license PSY 36177).

I provide brief assessments for adults to clarify diagnosis related to OCD, anxiety and other commonly co-occuring conditions. From this assessment, I can make treatment recommendations to you or for use with your current therapist.

You can participate in your therapy session from anywhere in the state of Montana or California as long as you have privacy and a stable internet connection.

I also offer consultation to other therapists as well as supplemental supervision for therapists in training and newly licensed providers. Please contact me for additional information.

I am considered an out-of-network provider for all insurances. The full fee for a 55 minute session is $260. I have a limited number of sliding scale slots that you are welcome to inquire about to make therapy more accessible. 

As an out-of-network provider, I am happy to provide you with a detailed receipt ("Superbill") that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement. Some PPO insurance plans will reimburse anywhere between 20-80% of the session fee.

You may also be able to pay for therapy out of your pre-tax income using an HSA or FSA account.

Additionally, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, to give you a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
