Community Engagement & Groups

I currently serve as a member of the Board of Directors for the Montana Wilderness School (www.montanawildernessschool.org), and previously had the privilege and honor to serve as a Clinical Supervisor for several post-graduate Social Work students and professionals who work for a variety of community-health agencies and non-profits, facilitate fly-fishing retreats for men with cancer through Reel Recovery (www.reelrecovery.org), and served as a Clinical Supervisor for the Behavioral Health Department and member of the Board of Directors at Bridgercare (www.bridgercare.org). These amazing non-profit organizations provide a variety of  mental, physical and psychosocial health services and programs to underserved populations.

Furthermore, I facilitate a free monthly grief support group “Loss in the Outdoors” for those who have been affected by loss related to outdoor pursuits. The group is most tailored to: Individuals who have directly, or vicariously, experienced trauma in the outdoors, Adventure Athletes, Surviving family members, Friends, Spouses & Carepartners, and First Responders working in austere environments experiencing stress-injuries. This group aims to create sustained-healing through fellowship & community by providing a confidential place to forge connections with others who might feel alone in their experience. If interested in attending, or learning more, please contact me to make sure your expectations are in alignment with the mission of the group.

PLEASE NOTE: This group is currently offered “in-person” only.
