I was born and raised in central Vermont and moved to Bozeman, Montana in 2005 to pursue a Bachelors of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Montana State University. After graduating with my Bachelors in 2009 I graduated with a Masters of Health Science at Montana State University in 2012. During the next three years I worked in acute adult residential care regarding suicidal ideation and crisis stabilization. In addition, I focused my time on mentoring adolescents through an adventure and relationship based program to provide an alternative healing and personal growth. In 2015 continued with my education at the University of Montana and completed a Masters of Social Work. In correlation to my studies I worked with victims and survivors of domestic violence. After graduating from the University of Montana I worked in youth residential treatment and school based therapeutic services with adolescents. My current focus is working with adolescents, young adults, and families through a relationship approach.

 

When not working I focus on maintaining balance in my life through my adventures in the mountains, traveling, and engaging in meaningful relationships. I find it important to give myself space from the busy day to day lifestyle and challenge myself professionally, physically, and mentally. I spend my summer months hiking with my dog, mountain biking, or floating on the river. In the winter I enjoy backcountry skiing and frequenting different hot springs.
