Psychodynamic Therapists in Billings, MT

I work with adults and couples who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, difficulty relating to others or dissatisfaction with life; particularly second half of life issues, divorce, co-parenting, traumatic events, changing careers, empty nest syndrome, retirement, grief and loss, who want to feel better about themselves and their relationships.

Past experiences and traumas (including those in childhood) can create an internal fragmentation of self - disconnecting us from our inherent wholeness and worth, and causing us to view and experience life as something to be survived rather than lived. This can manifest in emotional suppression, dissociation, feelings of worthlessness, relationship difficulties with self and others, lack of bodily autonomy and safety, repressed grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc. Healing through these experiences will require you to make the courageous journey back home to your heart and soul - back to the very essence of You.

Starting the healing journey is such a courageous and loving gift to give yourself and I am so glad you are here. Creating safety is the most important part of this process, so I will meet you wherever you are on your journey. When our needs/emotions are not nurtured in childhood, we often learn to disconnect from our body, forcing us into a state of survival. If you ever feel disconnected, confused about your identity, unsafe in your body, struggle to focus, distrusting in relationships, confused about childhood experiences, loss of bodily autonomy, or unable to feel your full range of emotions, you are not alone and are safe here.

I enjoy working with adults who suffer from grief and loss, trauma, and sport-related performance issues. To help overcome these challenges, I take a collaborative approach that focuses on understanding the problem to determine how best to resolve it. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous and self-directed. Thus, as a psychologist I help my clients realize this potential, promoting adaptive ways of coping, and work myself out of job as a result. Theoretically, I work from interpersonal, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives, and believe that the foundation of effective counseling stems from the therapeutic relationship.

Accepting in person individual sessions! I work with individuals who are seeking assistance in healing recent or past trauma, anxiety/depression, life transitions, interpersonal/domestic violence, and women who are experiencing pregnancy or postpartum. I use evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parts work, solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and motivational interviewing through an attachment based lens.

My patients are ready for something to change. Whether they are struggling with difficult emotions or trying to recover from past trauma, they acknowledge that there is healing to be done. Counseling is powerful. I am a believer of the positive outcomes that can occur when one commits to the tough work. I have been a therapist since 2014 and working in the mental health field since 2007. I value ongoing education and consultation to best serve my patients. By creating a safe space, I help patients connect with their "parts of self" that are resilient.

You don’t have to do this alone. Life can be challenging from irritating hurdles, anxiety/depression, to heart-wrenching events. Whatever you’re experiencing, know that myself and/or others are here to help you. You deserve to feel good about yourself and enjoy life to it’s fullest. Let’s get you back to feeling like your healthy wonderful self. Kudos for taking this first step toward healing and growth. You were meant for more!
