Therapists in Beaverhead County, MT

My goal is to make you feel heard and understood. I meet you exactly where you are at, listen to you, challenge you, and support you in developing a connection with yourself and the world around you. The therapeutic relationship is an opportunity for you to feel validated, trusted, and above all, authentic and connected.  I want to support adults and couples in rebuilding a connection with themselves and to cultivate purpose and curiosity in one another. I help families establish open communication, trust, and create healthier boundaries in order to facilitate more enriched relationships moving forward.

Relationships - to others and, importantly, to ourselves - dramatically influence our ability to flourish in a rich lived experience. I work with individuals (age 15+) and couples who grow weary of feeling upset, disconnected, exhausted, alone, empty, worried, anxious... who seek a daily experience of thriving, engagement, closeness, and congruence between who you are, your desires, and your ways-of-being. Though feeling fed up, frustrated, and ready for change isn't our preferred state of existence, those who find themselves here are also ready for and motivated to find change.

Are you exhausted from stress, never-ending mental loads, and responsibilities in addition to feeling hopeless about your mental health? Let's be honest, therapy can be scary and intimidating to start! From personal experience, I avoided therapy for years until I took the leap and noticed the incredible impact it had on my quality of life. I believe in person-centered approaches, where YOUR sessions are tailored to YOU and not a "one-size fits all" method. I want you to feel heard and understood, while also challenging you to work towards your best self. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself - you deserve it!

Life is full of uncertainties. Many of them can unexpectedly destabilize us, causing stress, despair, anxiety, and even depression. Such circumstances could prevent a mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy life, where hope for change is not visible. If you feel identified with this, I want to tell you that you are not alone. Seeking help is the first step in finding a way out and seeing the light among adverse/unexpected circumstances. Therapy helps you explore the causes, thoughts, emotions, and patterns that block and prevent you from moving forward. Together we can find the way out.

As a 5th-generation Montanan, I have experienced the value of deep roots and being connected to a place, a people, and a story. I believe relationships are at the heart of every story, and am passionate about helping individuals, families, and children reconnect with others and reconnect with themselves to make sense of their past, present, and future. I have training in individual therapy for adults and minors, couples therapy, and family systems. Whether working with adults, children, or families, I believe relationships are the mechanism for healing and that my relationship with my clients is a starting point for change.

Are you looking for a space to create insight and grow interpersonally? Have you experienced loss and are trying to navigate grief, and a new version of normal? Are you feeling overwhelmed by life demands and struggling to find agency? Do you hope for connection and authenticity? I am trained to leverage our innate curiosity in search of the underlying need behind our behaviors. Do we need understanding, to feel worthy, to be understood, to feel valued and accepted? Let's dig into this and make meaning of our feelings.

As a therapist, my aim is to meet you where you are. I help by fostering a safe, non-judgmental environment, centered on exploring the unique issues and struggles which brought you to therapy. I will provide support and understanding within the therapeutic relationship for you to better understand yourself and the difficulties you are having. In this process you can learn to understand and manage the obstacles that have led to the struggles whether it be in your mood, behaviors, self-esteem, jobs, and/or relationships. I believe in the most difficult of times there is also an opportunity for change and growth.

I love helping people address needs related to relationships, family, children, faith, and self-development. I am interested in the intricacies, challenges, and healing of relationships which involves honest appraisal and assessment of interpersonal communications which affect the most important aspects of personhood and human interactions. I enjoy the adventure of accompanying clients as they seek resolution of the challenges of living with ourselves and others in the world. The ultimate goal, in my current understanding, is to be at peace with who we are, who we have been, and continue striving to become the person we want to be.

Life transitions, the demands of running a family, raising kids, a high pressure and stressful job, money concerns, and children’s needs can all erode the time and energy you have to put into your relationship. Life and relationships can be tough. What is needed to make it work often feels overwhelming, unclear, and giving up may seem like the only alternative. We need connection. We need love. We need a path. Without it, the inevitable challenges of life become incredibly difficult. But right now, you might not be thinking that.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Bozeman, Montana. My focus is on treating adults struggling with issues such as trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, and OCD. Pulling from multiple modalities, I use evidenced based practices to assist individuals in achieving their goals and learning ways to cope with life's challenges. I have additional training in EMDR and trauma focused treatment.

I enjoy working with couples and families. I have been very successful in using a communication approach when working with couples. I have worked with attachment issues since I started counseling in 2000. I am especially excited about working with families in a group setting in order to deal with major issues that are occurring. I am experienced in systemic counseling and group work of all kinds.
