Brainspotting Therapists in Lolo, MT

Life is filled with challenges and obstacles waiting to be overcome. Often times, we find ourselves caught in the same patterns which may result in recurrent undesired outcomes. I work collaboratively with my clients to support building awareness and understanding of how our past may be impacting our current life. Through gaining insight into the origin of our thoughts, behaviors and feelings, we gain the power to take control of our future.

Congratulations for reaching out! You are not alone. Your step of seeking therapy and recovery - it sure isn't easy. I truly hope that I can relieve some of that... I see each person as a unique individual. A person with life experiences- needing to relate, confide in and be validated. I treat each person with authenticity and unconditional positive regard. I focus on what is in front of me and not "what could be." My approach is a holistic one; I look at the whole person, including any underlying medical concerns, in order to help you identify your basic core self. Remember, you are brave for making the first step - reach out!

True healing is more than just a relief from symptoms. I will support you in making deep and lasting change by recognizing the intrinsic connections between your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. We will also attend to relationships with your community and environment, as we are all parts of an interdependent weave. I am passionate about holistic wellness, and embrace a comprehensive approach that addresses the interconnected aspects of your life: mind, body, spirit, community, and environment.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my priority is to create a safe container for humans to explore their natural ability to experience growth and healing. Using a holistic approach, we will explore the ways in which rebalancing and reconnecting with the body and nervous system can help you heal. I use a highly relational approach in my practice, so if you're looking for a quick fix, I may not be your best fit. I am dually licensed in Montana and Colorado. If you are seeking care and reside in Colorado, please note I am not currently credentialed with any CO insurers and am only able to accept private pay clients via telehealth.

I specialize in treating adult women with complex trauma/CPTSD with a focus on developmental trauma. Most of my client’s have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences, such as family dysfunction, abuse or neglect, or what I refer to as deep, impactful experiences from childhood to adolescence. My clients are well-functioning, but the secondary issues from their unresolved/unhealed pasts show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance and relational difficulties, causing a feeling of "stuckness" despite "knowing better". I am an neurobiology-informed experiential therapist, utilizing “bottom-up”, holistic approaches.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults in finding their own inner purpose, strength, and wisdom. Often, this requires peeling back the layers of old habits, wounds, and ways of being in the world that are resulting in distress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of dissatisfaction. By helping to heal the old wounds, there is more space to experience joy and contentment while also discovering what matters the most to you. One on one sessions can take a variety of forms including more traditional talk therapy; using different art mediums; or getting out of the office for a walk.
