Hi - Welcome to ONLINE counseling. I have a unique practice that supports people from all over Montana --- after 15 years of seeing couples and individuals in person in my Bozeman office, I'm now working exclusively with individuals online. I have had the honor of helping hundreds of Montanans conquer their depression or anxiety, regain their confidence, improve their communication skills, renew their relationship by working on themselves ... and to get back to being the person they want to be. I think you'll be surprised at how comfortable online therapy feels - it's just like sitting in the same room.

Human development is a lifelong process, where each moment of life, every human being is in a state of personal evolution. By taking consideration of the bio-psycho-social, spiritual, and cultural factors that shape us, clients provide a unique perspective into their identity, as well as finding their place in the world. When events in life cause feelings of anxiety, extreme sadness, feeling stuck, or overwhelm it may become necessary to retrace, or reprocess these moments to develop resolution.

I believe that we're all works in progress, having found this to be true of clients struggling with life changes to clients with the most complicated of problems--even young gang members, in whom I've had the privilege of seeing humanity and goodness. The role of therapist, for me, is one of empowering, bearing witness to life's bewilderment and suffering, and jointly creating a peace of mind and resilience, sometimes in the face of unresolved problems, while honoring one's own truth and rewriting our narratives in a way that makes sense to us as we make meaning to our lives.

—Accepting Clients— Oftentimes we minimize our own experiences and believe we are not worthy of someone else’s time and energy, limiting our capacity in relationships. I sincerely believe all individuals have the capacity for authenticity, mutuality, and growth-producing connection. These experiences can flourish by providing a relationship that is safe, compassionate, and empowering. It is my hope to cultivate those feelings within counseling to take beyond the room. Counseling can help you understand the meaning you make of experiences, past and present, in your life and engage in a deeper relationship with yourself and others.

Ever think: "How did I end up here?" or "I never imagined {life event} would happen to me!" You are not alone! We can all relate to these sentiments. Most people do not end up in therapy because circumstances are unicorns and rainbows. Are you struggling with loss, or making meaning out of events that have left you feeling uncertain, shaken, in agony? Do you feel like you are starring in a scene from the film Ground Hog Day, where life is a series of frustrating, repeating events? You can make a successful transition to break this cycle, whatever that personal change is. You will get a sense of control back. A little Zen. Some hope.

I help individuals who are struggling with navigating life on a daily basis to be curious about why they behave and respond to life the way they do, and work with them to help them to realize the resilience they have always had.

Life can be hard. Do you find yourself feeling unsatisfied, stressed with daily demands or overcome with difficult emotions? Are you struggling with a life change or conflict and would like to delve deeper into your purpose? Perhaps you feel unfulfilled or as though something is missing. Our sense of who we are is inevitably shaped by our history which often influences current living. However adversity & unmet longings do not have to rule our lives or obstruct our joy. Challenges can be utilized as growth opportunities to help us fully thrive when we learn to integrate them in a manageable way so to experience relief from suffering.

Sometimes life gets heavy and hard. There IS HOPE for a better tomorrow. My clients want support for many issues, among them grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, and assistance with serious health diagnosis, and adjusting or readjusting to new life circumstances. Sometimes just support making a hard decision. I am here to listen!

Accepting New Clients! Are you looking for a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space that promotes healing and personal growth? Are you experiencing struggles connecting with or expressing your authentic self and want to move forward into becoming the most congruent and empowered version of you? Experiencing challenges in life is inevitable yet doesn’t have to hold us back from attaining the lives we want or keep us from fulfilling our purpose. Together we can collaboratively explore life’s challenges and determine what insights can be discovered to help you in achieving a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

The most important part of therapy is that you connect/feel safe with your therapist, and finding that therapist can be difficult, especially right now. Call or send me an email to arrange a free consultation and lets see if we think we're a good fit. Trust yourself, ask questions, you've come this far, you will find someone that seems right for you. Life is hard at the moment and you're probably ready for something to change, but what? I advocate for fierce joy, tolerating uncertainty and loss, digging deep, genuine relationships, holding ourselves accountable, playing to strengths, & being compassionate about our challenges.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal. Healing brings us closer to a sense of wholeness in our lives, which leads to authenticity, close and connected relationships, meaning and purpose, and connection to nature and spirit. However, experiences from the past or current challenges or stressors can leave people feeling overwhelmed. Through counseling, an individual can explore their experiences, process their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations in the present moment, which will guide them toward increased awareness, emotional regulation, greater capacity and a sense of well-being and vitality.

After more than a decade of working with individuals and families, I find most people walking through my door simply want to be happier and have more love in their lives. For those new to therapy, know that together we will explore the changes you are looking for in your life. Therapy is a collaborative effort and you are driving the process. While we cannot change what has happened in our past, we can intentionally take steps toward creating a more meaningful and satisfying present. We can transform pain into wisdom. My role is to support you in traveling your unique path through that transformation.

Are you struggling to enjoy your personal, or professional life because of uncomfortable symptoms you wish to alleviate? Do you wish you could grow personally from talking about your problems? Counseling may be a great choice for you! When you feel understood, respected and believed by a counselor, a world of opportunity and personal growth can open up. Clients from all backgrounds in Bozeman seek out counseling for trauma, personal growth and overall mental health and wellbeing. I offer individualized services tailored to the client's needs. Expect to set goals and meet them, as we approach wellness, together.

I have experience with a broad range of issues and encourage an honest, relationship-based approach to therapy. We work together to explore the issues most important to you. I believe that everyone is capable of change, though easy to say, it is very challenging to put into action. Therapy can create a safe space to reflect upon your world and history. It is a mindful process to accept and redefine yourself. It is a space to look at what parts are activated in your life and which parts feel quiet.

Navigating life can be difficult at times. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am passionate about collaborating with individuals and families to address challenges- and to find and build upon their unique strengths. I use a strengths-based approach that is person-centered because I believe people are the experts of their own lives. I also believe it’s helpful to have new tools to use, so I bring expertise in a variety of evidenced based practices and techniques.

Helping empower people to live joyful, abundant peace-filled lives, while enjoying the gift of life given me by God forms the purpose and drives the mission of my ministry as a therapist. The purpose of Heart and Hand Center is to alleviate suffering that comes to people of all ages as a result of trauma, grief, loss, injury, accidents, divorce, family dysfunction, war, poverty, addictions, death, and disease. We use a healing approach combining compassion and care with expressive arts therapy, equine assisted psychotherapy, and spirituality to address root causes of emotional, behavioral, and psychological problems.
