Onnie is incredibly helpful and sweet! She helped me work through a lot of things in my life. I grew and learned so much through all of our sessions. She not only helped me in the moment, but gave me tools that I can carry on into the future. I am so thankful for her!

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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Onnie understands my situation a gives appropriate guidelines to help
Onnie is incredibly helpful and sweet! She helped me work through a lot of things in my life. I grew and learned so much through all of our sessions. She not only helped me in the moment, but gave me tools that I can carry on into the future. I am so thankful for her!
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!
Onnie is great.
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.
She’s really becoming my voice of reason. I am unreasonable to myself. And I’m seeing my worth. A little at a time. My self esteem is still really now. But I get a lot of courage and confidence from her feedback.
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.
Onnie is the most amazing person! Very respectful and a great listener! She feels like a friend!
Onnie is extremely personable, understanding, and compassionate. Her therapeutic expertise is complemented by her interpersonal skills and ability to relate genuinely to what I'm sharing with her. I absolutely recommend Onnie to anyone for whom compassion and empathy are essential concerns.
This has helped me so much!
I had two other counselors before I was matched with Onnie - the other two took days to respond to me and failed to acknowledge my main concerns. Then I was matched with Onnie and we had a video session nearly right away and she responds often on the same day, sometimes within the same hour! She is kind, receptive, yet assertive in helping me take steps towards bettering my mental health and my daily actions to improving my life.
I was skeptical about online counseling but so far I have nothing but good things to say about BetterHelp and Onnie. I feel connected to my counselor and trust her even with the limited interactions we’ve had.
I have a long history with seeing therapists and other mental health professionals but Onnie is by far my favorite. She’s never dismissive, she great at identifying root causes to problems, and is realistically encouraging vs blindly optimistic that so many therapists try to project. I can’t wait to dive in deeper with Onnies help.
