Biography

I am a Dillon, Montana native with a passion for history, natural ecological systems, hydrology, fish, wildlife, and the relationship between people and their environments. With a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies, I have extensive experience in back country activities and have taught courses in back country survival, kayaking and many other subjects in between.

In my first career, I held various roles within Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and by living in various locations, I gained valuable experience and a deep appreciation for the state’s natural beauty. Throughout my career, I also discovered a love for working with young adults.
After completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health, I decided to start a second career focusing on counseling full time. My goal is to guide young individuals and groups using experiential methods to help them lead more authentic lives. By tackling challenges, building relationships, and acquiring new skills and knowledge, we will work to facilitate personal growth and development in a supportive environment.
