Developing a secure attached relationship with my clients allows space to begin the journey of self-exploration, self-compassion, and growth.
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.

I guide individuals through the process to gain insight into what holds them back from realizing their goals.

Hamilton, MT 59840 (Online Only)
Telehealth Counseling for children, teens and adults who are seeking support to improve social and emotional wellbeing and alleviate distress. As an LCSW, I work with individuals in finding their own inner expert. I believe that people intrinsically have the strengths to lead happy and productive lives but are sometimes unable to leverage those internal resources when faced with adversities such as loss, trauma, depression or anxiety. I work with people as they understand their own struggles to help them address past issues that contribute to their present mindset and develop strategies using their internal resources.

Superior, MT 59872
You're late, again! Scrambling to try and get out the door you wonder why you just can't "be normal" like everyone else. You speed to work cursing at every red light and car that's in your path. "Why am I like this?!" Feelings of shame, anger, and frustration rush through your body. You long to feel different, to be able to do the seemingly simple tasks everyone can do without effort, without procrastinating. But you can't, or at least that is how it feels. Everyone tells you to makes lists, keep a schedule, set alarms...but you've tried all that and none of it works. You start to believe there just must be something wrong with you.

In a sea of energy, seeking authenticity can be painful. This practice offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories. The therapeutic-transformational approach is centered around disrupting systems of power by guiding fellow humans to claim their own knowledge by engaging their intuition. The work questions the ways larger forces have informed us about what counts as mental health and what constitutes happiness, presence, fulfillment, illness, or suffering.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
