My passion is teaching specific tools to help people heal from the distress of current, past, or multi-generational trauma and any related addictions. I can provide an atmosphere of safety and compassion to assist in expressing, understanding and healing the pain and shame of trauma and addictions; thereby transforming the legacy of pain into a legacy of healing. As a proponent of social justice and anti-racism, I also promote understanding of how we are shaped by community and community is shaped by us through the intersectionality of race, gender, class, and sexuality.

Life is complicated and painful. You deserve the respect, confidentiality, attention, and compassion that I offer as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Porn/sex addiction (and partner/familial effects), occupational stress (military/veterans, law enforcement, first responders), separation/divorce/infidelity, trauma/PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, and grief/loss issues, are some of the areas in which I have clinical experience and training. I have worked in mental health since 2008, and spent four years at an inpatient crisis residential facility working with suicidal and high-risk patients, and am a Montana Red Cross member.

In life, change is inevitable. Sometimes we want it, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes it comes easy, and sometimes it's among the hardest thing we'll ever try to do. Themes central to experiencing change include tolerating uncertainties, having safe supportive others who can witness and support change, and having choice on the kinds of support needed to make sustainable change. I'm pleased to offer Psychotherapy to residents in the State of Montana, as well as Programs and Collective Healing Communities.

Welcome! I specialize in counseling children ages 3 to 12. It is my desire to provide a safe, friendly, and non-judgmental environment to encourage exploration, healing, and the development of new skills. I work collaboratively with clients and their parents as we look at the relationships between emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and life events.

Are you satisfied with the quality of your relationships? Most people agree that our life is made infinitely better by close connections and becomes intensely challenging when our relationships are problematic, painful, and unfulfilling. Are you stressed, burdened, frustrated, outraged, or lonely within your relationship with others? Or is the relationship you have with yourself overwhelmed with internal conflict? I can help. My private practice empowers individuals and couples to significantly improve their intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. I foster client authenticity, self-love and self-esteem within individuals and guide couples through conversations that create close connections and secure bonds.

I am truly honored to be a counselor. It seems our lives are similar to jigsaw puzzles which at times can feel overwhelming. I believe I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support as individuals and couples make sense of the pieces of their live(s). Mindfulness is the foundation of my therapeutic approach whether tending to mental health, relationship, trauma and/or transitional issues.

I am a clinical social worker who enjoys working with individuals and couples. I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth and change in our lives. There are times in life, we may find ourselves presented with situations that find us confused, frustrated, anxious or grief stricken. At times like this it can be helpful to seek therapy so that we may sort out deeper internal patterns that no longer serve us.

I am passionate about facilitating wellbeing. My hope is to help people live free--free to discover and reach their potential. I work from Gestalt theory, which is a holistic, integrative perspective that considers mind, body, spirit, and your environment. Additionally, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. SE is a comprehensive, body-centered & naturalistic method of healing trauma. Through traditional talk therapy and creative, experiential, body-centered methods, I will help you build awareness of your unique adaptations to your environment to allow a natural shift to healthier and more fulfilling responses to life.

I help people grow and live more satisfying lives. My clients can expect to learn new tools for emotional regulation and feeling better. Therapy is dynamic and I utilize a variety of approaches to help my clients find the right road map to recovery and better living. Surprisingly as it sounds, therapy can be fun, enlightening and a place not only out of pain but onto a more rewarded life. By developing our natural curiosity we can start letting go of our inner critic and open ourselves up to more balance and connection.

I work with men and women of all ages dealing with a variety of issues. If you or your child struggles with anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, loneliness/isolation, grief and loss, family issues, or just trying to make sense of life, I can create a space for the process of understanding, healing, and growth.

Working with children and adolescents and their families since 1997, my emphasis has always been on how to help the adults help their kids. My focus is on finding out what a child needs and then figuring out how to help their parents, schools or caregivers meet those needs. I work with a variety of presenting concerns-from anxiety, depression, behavorial problems, grief, trauma, divorce and normal life transitions.

I am truly passionate about my work as a counselor, and feel I offer a unique approach. I graduated from Naropa University. I have been working in the field of mental health for 20 years. My approach is client centered, focusing in transpersonal psychology, where I view each person as having the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. I see myself as a facilitator who assists clients in discovering their own truth and healing processes. I also have training in meditation and working with the unconscious mind through art therapy such as sand tray creation and dream therapy.

People seek therapy for all kinds of reasons. Many are looking for support as they navigate current situations, decisions, and relationships in their lives. Many are looking for change. Change in their internal experience and emotions, change in their pattern of thinking or behavior, or change in their relationships with themselves or others. I enjoy working with clients to understand how their unique experiences have shaped who they are and inform their life in the present.

For the first 15 years of my career I worked as a family counselor in inpatient alcohol / drug treatment centers. In 1994 I went back to school for a graduate degree in social work. Since then I have been working with individuals, couples and families. I think it's very healthy to use counseling whenever it's needed throughout our lives. Much of the work I do is with couples and families who are struggling with communication - which is the bridge to close relationships. I also work with addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, workplace relationships. Feel free to call for help.

So, you feel stuck. It's confusing where you are. It's foggy, blunt, forest and trees - you can only see a few steps ahead. You can't figure out what you feel nor think your way out of this - and you really feel hopeless. But, you're not willing to give up completely. I get it. You want to; get out of this hole, get control of your life, be true to yourself, stop having so much unnecessary conflict within yourself and your relationships, not feel so overpowered by emotions, go from "I don't know" to actually knowing.

My focus is working with individual adults. I support individuals in finding happiness, fulfilment, and balance in their lives by helping them navigate life transitions, dissatisfying relationships, and life stressors. I also specialize in helping people in overcoming issues like anxiety, depression, and attachment trauma.
