I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Montana with my minor area of study being Childhood Development. My Master of Arts degree is in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Colorado Theological Seminary. I am a professional clinical member of the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA), a certified Temperament Therapist and a licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor (NCCA). I also hold advanced certifications in Integrated Marriage and Family Therapy as well as Crisis and Abuse Therapy.

In the early days I obtained an additional Family Support Specialist certification and worked for many years assisting families with a child experiencing developmental delays or a diagnosed disability. This assistance included educational programs for the child, human services coordination, family support and more. I left this job to raise my family and spent time working in the schools once my children were school aged in various positions. After my children were grown and flown I began to feel God nudging me back to the mental health field and began my journey to obtain my masters degree, licensing, and specialty certifications. I have been working with clients specializing in Temperament Therapy since 2019.
