Ten years ago I moved from Missoula, MT to the Butte area. There is such an intense need for services in the community. I am both a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Licensed Addiction Counselor. I received specialized training at St. Patrick Hospital Addiction Treatment Program in working with adolescents, inpatient and outpatient adult chemical dependency as well as therapeutic supports for family members of chemically dependant people. I strive to make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable enabling them to open up and express themselves in a non-judgmental environment. I understand that addiction is disease and no one chooses to be an addict.
