About me

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana, I am passionate about helping individuals become the best version of themselves. I am here to help you discover what it is you want and to support you as you meet your goals by empowering you to overcome obstacles and to grow to your fullest potential.

I believe that what you think determines how you feel, which causes you to behave in certain ways and it's those behaviors that are keeping you from moving forward and living your best life. Often, what we think is based on events that have happened in the past and are actually untrue but because we've come to believe them wholeheartedly, we get stuck and that's where therapy can help.

Operating mainly from a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) perspective, we examine those dysfunctional beliefs to discover what's keeping you stuck and work together to explore how you can implement positive, helpful behaviors into your life. By shifting perspectives and learning how to change your beliefs, you begin to experience a shift in emotions, ultimately leading to a change in behaviors and your life.

In addition to CBT, I also utilize techniques found in a variety of modalities including Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, and Person-Centered. The skills you learn in therapy will be based on your needs and your goals. Therapy is a team approach which means we will work together to develop a plan and create the action steps that will get you to where you want to be.

If you are interested in having live sessions as part of your subscription, please note that I am only available to meet during day time hours. Occasionally, I may be able to swing an evening session, but my regular sessions will be scheduled Monday through Saturday.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you become who you are meant to be.

Onnie was AMAZING through our time together. She is a active listener with an entrepreneurial spirit that encouraged me to grow beyond my limiting beliefs. Highly recommend!

She listens well. She gets what’s going on. But she helps me to keep myself on track w my navigation through my divorce. Venting helps me get over it quickly and then I refocus on something I can control.

Onnie completely changed my life in 8 months. I could not recommend her enough. She was extremely patient and thoughtful in helping me through cognitive biases making me sad and anxious, and found me the best resources in every area of life that I was concerned about: from social life to business development. After working with Onnie, I feel significantly happier, more successful and have the ability to handle problems for myself, instead of being overcome by them. Onnie helped me reach my full potential and for that I am extremely grateful.

Onnie is great! She is really engaging and seems to genuinely care about my issues. She also seems to go out of her way to make sure I am getting the most out of therapy.
