Hello Northwest Montana! I am both thrilled and honored to be working with Cabinet Mountain Cooperative as your school psychologist. I have been a nationally certified school psychologist since 2012 after completing my education at the University of Montana. I practiced in Kodiak, Alaska before moving back to Montana with my beautiful family.

Greetings to everyone! I am very excited, but also humbled to be a member of such a great Team here at the Cabinet Mountain Cooperative. I have been a School Psychologist since 2009, and have enjoyed working with our children for more than 30 years. I spent my early years in Mojave, California, helping school-age children navigate a wide range of learning difficulties to be successful. Since then, I was blessed to be a part of a Team for 3 years in Kalispell, Montana serving our Lifeskills population. Our goal was to promote student success for all children. I have a passion and great love to work with students who are struggling and help them find the path of learning. As is true with everyone on our Team, I look forward to serving you.
