Therapists in Carbon County, MT

I am committed to helping clients move through a variety of challenges by building self-awareness and supporting the practice of new actions. I provide integrated client solution focused therapy. I am trained in trauma informed interventions, am sensitive to a client's attachment style and work to empower clients to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and groups. I have a special interest in teaching of behavioral management, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, EMDR, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. Cognitive behavioral resources and tools are the foundation of all my work.

We can all become stuck at times and it can feel so awful. Sometimes we need assistance in facing our difficulties or in identifying fixed patterns that no longer serve us. I help guide clients in exploring these patterns with a curious and self-empowering mindset and support them in finding creative paths to resolution. I have a warm, interactive, directive, and relational style of counseling. I always look forward to collaborating with my clients on their personal journeys! I enjoy using a more directive approach in therapy with clients while still providing plenty of space for clients to explore and process.

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.

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.

I am committed to meeting YOUR needs! It is an incredibly brave thing to admit when we are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, are vulnerable, stuck, or just want someone to listen. When you work with Bridges, you are in a safe space where you will not be judged! Children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families are all welcome at Bridges. I offer therapies to suit every need, and I enjoy working with people who are ready for change. Bridges offers HIPAA compliant Telemedicine, therefore serving ALL MT communities.

Hi there. "All of You is Welcome Here". You can Not-Want-To-Come-In for therapy & still give me a call. Your curiosity & your skepticism are welcome. This is often the root of conflict for us, right? There is a part of us that is curious, open to change. Yet as we strive to live in concert with our beliefs & values with high hopes to evolve, to be seen, known & understood some illusive, habituated roadblocks reappear. Welcome to the human dilemma. The good news: we can work with ourselves. Support is necessary from time to time. That's natural (like you).

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.

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.

Counseling is a space used to move into deeper connection with yourself and to release old patterns of being that no longer serve you. I believe when you gain self-regulation skills, self-awareness, and self-acceptance, then you can create the change you seek and experience more freedom/ease. My hope is that you feel safe and fully accepted in my presence so you can explore the more painful parts of your life and honor your strengths. My approach to counseling is client driven and collaborative. I use mindfulness, somatic-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed interventions with clients.
