Therapists in Bozeman, MT

Our counselors work with teens, college students, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges and life transitions. There are multiple points in life where you can fall of course and grow unsure of the next best step. When anxiety, depression, and negative thought patterns take hold, they obscure your path forward. Though it is important to address these symptoms, we put the greatest focus on what is beneath. We believe that once you identify what you want, know what stands in your way, and how to overcome obstacles, you are motivated to work toward personal, school, career, and/or relationship goals.

A few daytime appointments available in April. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple? There would be no peer relationship struggles, everyone had great self-esteem, angelic behaviors abounded, and traumatic life events never occurred. Heck, even our work and home lives were a breeze, we all had uncomplicated relationships, and mental health concerns did not exist. Unfortunately, we do face hard things. Therapy is a way to get help, guidance, and relief as you walk through the daily challenges of life. Are you ready for change? I bet you are!

Relational living is at the heart of my work. Individuals learning to be kind to the anxious and depressed sides of themselves. Couples who have drifted, or splintered, learning how to come back together. Families bridging gaps to realign and work with, instead of against, each other. Teens who have negative self talk and low self esteem. It all has it's foundation in relational living. When I work with my clients, they are individuals, and our process is unique. We collaborate on treatment goals and assess along the way if we are each doing our job to reach those goals.

Life is complicated and painful. You deserve the respect, confidentiality, attention, and compassion that I offer as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Porn/sex addiction (and partner/familial effects), occupational stress (military/veterans, law enforcement, first responders), separation/divorce/infidelity, trauma/PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, and grief/loss issues, are some of the areas in which I have clinical experience and training. I have worked in mental health since 2008, and spent four years at an inpatient crisis residential facility working with suicidal and high-risk patients, and am a Montana Red Cross member.

Do you question the relationship you're in? Do you wonder why conflict sometimes feels so difficult? Does it sometimes feel like there are patterns there that you just can't see or understand, but that maybe if you could, they wouldn't have to continue? Sometimes we reach a point where we are ready for change; where what we have been doing in our life and in our relationships, doesn’t feel good anymore. I will help you get clear on what the patterns are AND where they come from and how to shift them.

I have had extensive experience working with teenagers, families and couples. I am successful in assisting these clients with depression, anxiety, resolving abusive relationships, addictions, anger management. I have had extensive training and trained others in regards to Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Being a parent of two special needs adopted children, my academic knowledge is supplemented with the personal experience f daily life with my autistic son and bipolar daughter., Also, having a gifted older son adds to the challenge of being able to assist parents in parenting and disciplining each child based on their unique needs.

I believe people are born good and have an innate drive to constantly do better. I also believe when things happen in our lives that prevent us from reaching that potential, we may need gentle guidance to help us reach the potential we desire. Working together, we will strive to find the ways that will individually suit you to help you reach your personal goals. Having worked with individuals from age 7 to 90, couples, individuals, families, and groups, there is a need for diversity in counseling in order to meet each person where they are.

I have a strong passion for helping families, couples, and individuals of all ages in their journey toward personal growth, understanding, and harmony. I believe that everyone is capable of having a fulfilling and emotionally healthy life. I focus on cultivating a supportive and empathetic space that will help you to get in touch with your inner desire for growth and self-betterment. Some areas of focus in my practice are relationship issues, improving communication skills, cultivating self-awareness, anxiety and stress management, ADHD, conflict resolution, and parent-child relationships

I work primarily with individuals and couples. I specialize in helping people who struggle with chronic illness, injury, and pain, including traumatic brain injuries. I also work with people who suffer from depression and anxiety. My practice is grounded in attachment theory and we use deep insight based listening to help you closer to living the life you are striving to lead.

I believe everyone has an innate strength and resilience, an authenticity that is limited only by inaccurate beliefs and interpretations of life struggles and challenges. My work with clients is geared toward identifying and removing those blocks to create space for the authentic self to flourish. I counsel individuals, couples, and families wishing to work through past or current trauma, or struggles with day-to-day challenges.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with life? Are you feeling confused, anxious, or having difficulty finding your happiness in the midst of life's stressors? We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I am Gottman Level II and EMDR trained.

My treatment focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. This is achieved by providing a neutral, safe space, listening to their stories, and customizing a treatment plan. I promise my clients I will be there every step of their journey. The goal is to help them grow from their struggles, heal from their pain, and move forward in their lives after looking inward, unpacking emotions and experiences, and ultimately seeing and understanding this time of their lives through a clearer lens.

I know how life can feel very hard, confusing, lonely, and scary. I understand what it feels like to want things in life to change; whether that is one's own view of self, relationships with friends, family or a partner. I am here to help you understand why you are where you are and where you want to be mentally, emotionally, spiritually or relationally. In this therapeutic setting you will be welcomed, understood, and supported with no judgment. Therapy can and should be a helpful tool to learn more about yourself, and learn to really like yourself.

I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life, and I integrate a wide range of interventions that pull from many different schools of thought. Overall, my goal is to build a strong and trusting relationship with my client. Furthermore, my focus is to aid my client in building a stronger mind body connection and to encourage personal growth through the use of self compassion, mindfulness, and shame resilience.

I help people feel better about their lives and relationships. In my 20 years as a therapist it has been gratifying to help my clients overcome depression and anxiety. In using a trauma treatment called Brain Spotting has been meaningful to me in helping people process and over-come significant traumas. I also specialize in couples therapy helping people move from conflict to resolution while developing the skills to feel more pleasure and connected in their relationship. Finally, I specialize in helping adolescents (ages 12 up) gain skills and confidence to be successful in school and peer / adult relationships.

I am truly honored to be a counselor. It seems our lives are similar to jigsaw puzzles which at times can feel overwhelming. I believe I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support as individuals and couples make sense of the pieces of their live(s). Mindfulness is the foundation of my therapeutic approach whether tending to mental health, relationship, trauma and/or transitional issues.
