I have been working with children and families in various capacities for nearly two decades with over 8 years of experience working with foster and adoptive families. I am a current Social Work License Candidate and trauma educator, providing counseling, coaching and training services to Missoula and Montana at large. I moved to Missoula in 2020 from my home country of Australia after working as a trauma trainer, family group meeting convener and case worker for foster and kinship families. My education and experience have centered around complex developmental trauma, the body-brain connection and attachment theory. I love bringing my passion for trauma education to the community and professional organizations. I am a TBRI® Practitioner and train in Trust Based Relational Intervention®, as well as a certified trainer for Reclaiming Youth at Risk and The Three Pillars of Transforming Care.

I started Relevant Training in 2023 in order to provide trauma-informed training and practices to organizations and the community here in Montana. My hope is to help promote a better understanding of complex trauma and how all of us can work together to foster healing and growth.
