Youth, Teen and Adult Counseling
A safe space to find
peace within
Compassionate, evidence-based counseling that helps children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges and grow into their full potential.
Care
Rooted in care,
guided by healing
Peace Within Counseling was founded on the belief that every young person deserves a safe, supportive space to explore their emotions, build resilience, and discover their inner strength.
I specialize in working with children, teens and adults, meeting them where they are — using play, creativity, and evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual’s unique needs and journey.
Peace Within Counseling LLC is a locally owned, client-centered practice dedicated to supporting individuals and families across the lifespan. As the owner and sole therapist, I bring over 15 years of experience as a school counselor along with my current work as a licensed therapist, allowing me to offer a well-rounded and compassionate approach to care.
I have worked with clients ranging in age from 2 to 84, with a special focus on supporting children navigating divorce, family separation, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as adults connected to the military. Growing up in an Air Force family and having a sibling who served for many years gives me a personal understanding of the unique challenges military life can bring.
In addition, I have both professional and personal experience supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including raising a child on the spectrum. As a parent of twins and a lifelong Montanan, I understand the realities and challenges of living in our state and strive to provide a supportive, understanding environment for every client.
I currently have a limited number of openings available and would be honored to support you or your loved one on your journey toward healing and growth.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
— C.S. Lewis
I accept most major insurance plans and offer a sliding scale fee for families who need financial flexibility. No person should go without care due to cost.
