Therapists in Montana

I am passionate about helping others make the changes they want to see in their lives. My practice is person-centered and strengths-based, offering a safe, open space, free of judgement, to explore your world-your thoughts, feelings, choices, and relationships. I truly believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal, even in the darkest of our times. Working together, we can discover your strengths, build skills, and overcome obstacles for you to find fulfillment and achieve your goals. "It is never too late to be what you might have been!" --George Eliot

We are meant to share life's hardships with others, rather than be alone with our pain. So much suffering today stems from a sense of isolation and disconnection within our lives. I offer a therapeutic relationship based on unconditional acceptance and compassion; where you can feel support in creating healthier relationships, evaluate what you seek in life, and diminish pressures that hinder your growth and happiness. We live in a stressful, anxiety-provoking time. When we slow down and look at our own core values and how we would like to inhabit our lives, we give ourselves permission to make mistakes and grow.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative, drawing from emotion-focused, attachment-based, and trauma-informed perspectives. I facilitate introspection, supporting clients with understanding the root of their behaviors, emotional patterns, and relationship dynamics. Through this approach, I aim to support my clients develop the skills necessary to foster deeper connections with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Imagine living your best life! We all face challenges and difficulties in life. For some it is trauma, others experience chronic health issues, not to mention day-to-day stressors of society's unrealistic demands and expectations. No one goes through life without experiencing the struggle. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. I guide individuals through the process to gain insight into what holds them back from realizing their goals.

Of the many lessons that we are confronted with in our modern era, perhaps the most important is that of the vitalness of maintaining connection- within ourselves, first and foremost, so that we can know and call upon those personal resources that facilitate connection with all that is outside of us. Living with a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety, can threaten our ability to know who we truly are and, as a result, deprive the world of our true gifts.

Individuals who find a safe and knowledgeable therapist can find endless opportunities for personal growth. If you are looking for change, balance, growth, or healing, I could be a great fit as your counselor. In therapy we often redefine strength to include vulnerability in order to connect, heal, and move forward. By fostering this connection we hope to not only survive, but thrive in life through healthy attachment and connection. I provide trauma-informed services to help clients heal, grow, and break down barriers to change. Therapy is client-centered and provided at a safe and comfortable pace, with confidentiality and care.

I excel in work with mood disorders, relationships, and trauma resiliency. I believe therapy includes both psychological and spiritual wholeness, which I strive to support in those from all walks of life.

Hi - Welcome to ONLINE counseling.
