A path inward — a way forward.

Therapy Tailored to You

My own journey, both personal and professional, has taught me that healing rarely happens in straight lines. It often begins in the quieter spaces, in the pauses between what was and what’s next. That’s why I value creating a therapeutic space that feels steady, compassionate, and free of judgment. I meet my clients where they are, honoring their pace, their voice, and their unique process.

Since receiving my Master’s degree in 2018, I’ve worked across a range of settings that have shaped my deep respect for human resilience. These include substance use recovery programs, hospice and medical care, and on the front lines of crisis response through a partnership with the local police department. Each of these roles has deepened my ability to show up with steadiness and respect.

I moved to Montana in 2019, drawn by the mountains, open spaces, and the slower pace of life. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me on a hiking trail, with a book, running or fishing with my husband and our dogs.

Timberline Wellness is named after the point on a mountain where trees stop growing but life doesn’t. It’s a place of transition, where the landscape shifts and the elements grow harsher, but resilience continues in quieter, unseen ways. I chose this name because, like that place on the mountain, therapy often begins at a threshold where old ways no longer fit, and something new is ready to emerge.
