Summary:
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Montana. I completed more than 4500 hours of
practice with Sunburst Community Service on the Salish Kootenai Indian Reservation in Polson,
Montana. I also completed a trauma and crisis internship with Pathways Crisis Center in Kalispell,
Montana. In addition, I completed an internship with the Coleman Group in the inner city of Chicago
with a forensic psychologist where I counseled prisoners and early release clients for the city. My
specialty is women who have experienced crisis and trauma and men and women reintegrating after
incarceration and institutionalization. My theoretical orientation is rational emotive behavioral therapy
and feminist relational empowerment therapy though I often use an integrated approach according to the
client’s needs. I am familiar with the marginalization or cultures, particularly Native Americans and
women in general. I recently launched my own practice where I provide services to a wide and varied
population of individuals. I plan to expand my services to include Medicaid and other insurances
including tribal health in order to provide the best service possible for my clients. My past medical
training has been invaluable in providing a well-rounded view of my client’s issues and referrals for the
client to other health care professionals.
Education:
Walden University is a CACREP accredited institution with high standards for students. Walden
was recently ranked nineteenth among both brick and mortar and online institutions in the United States.
I completed two comprehensive residencies and a rigorous practicum, culminating in over fifty hours of
direct individual and group counseling and more than one hundred and fifty hours of administrative and
procedural work. I served my internship with Pathways Treatment Center acquiring more than eight-
hundred and fifty hours in client counseling, group facilitation, treatment planning, discharge planning,
referral,diagnosing, and administrative duties. Internship consisted of counseling patients of different
ages and ethnicities with both co-occurring and singular disorders with varying levels of severity. I was a
tutor for developmentally challenged individuals, and worked with a number of families in a hospital
setting, who experienced trauma and crisis. I also have executive business leadership experience as a
CEO of a company. I further have more than eighteen years of experience in laboratory science as a
medical laboratory technician.
