Therapists in Montana

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.

Hello and welcome. I work with toddlers, children, teens, and adults in my practice. I specialize in Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-informed therapy. I am also certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which can be a very effective tool for individuals who experience Borderline Personality Disorder or for those who struggle with eating disorders, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. I have genuine compassion for each of my clients, and I work to teach and empower them to manage difficulties in daily functioning.

I have worked in Mental Health for over 24 years, and I am passionate about empowering my clients. I have experience working with individuals and families through all stages of life. I particularly enjoy working with the LGBTQ community and senior citizens.

In times when feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness become overwhelming, it's natural to experience a sense of hopelessness. Relationships, at times, may contribute to feelings of unhappiness as well. Within the therapeutic setting, we will collaboratively address these challenges. Therapy is about self-discovery, encompassing both your past and present. This exploration can lead to a more content and purposeful life. My approach involves assisting clients in comprehending their strengths and challenges and establishing a foundation for achieving their aspirations. Most importantly, is our relationship in creating change.

We believe in a Strength's Based approach when working with people in therapy. We have extensive experience working in the mental health field in a variety of different settings. We have worked with a vast majority of mental health issues, including PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Loss, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Eating Disorders, and various Addictions.

Throughout life we are faced with obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and defeated. At times we may even feel so alone, depressed or hopeless that we begin to think that suicide may be our only option. If this sounds like you--you are not alone! I have helped many clients to manage and overcome these issues, while feeling more empowered and in control of their lives. I understand how hard it is to seek out help. I am here to support you in your journey to change, healing and living a more fulfilling life.

Life has a way of throwing us situations that can seem overwhelming and impossible. Assistance from the right therapist can help you push past what you know now to get to where you want to be. I believe through understanding how your own experiences affect how you manage your life today, is key in exacting change. I also believe through establishing positive relationships with my clients, I am able to earn their trust so that I may guide them to the belief that they have the power within themselves to promote the necessary changes.

Have you wondered if your partner would be there for you when you really need them? Can you turn toward your relationship, seeing it as a source of comfort and safety? If you have doubts, has something happened; a circumstance, an interaction, an event that changed your view of the relationship and you feel stuck? Perhaps a dynamic has evolved over time that has resulted in more and more distance creating an impasse? Do you still hope that things could be good again?

I invite adults and adolescents into my private practice. I have experience working with individuals that have experienced trauma, abuse, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, and struggle to maintain relationships with family members and others. I am very knowledgeable in human development and can work with adult family members that are struggling with children's/ family behaviors at home and are seeking a positive change in daily life. I focus on helping client's find the personalized emotional regulation and self-care techniques that actually work for your individualized needs.

Making sense of our inner world can be challenging work to do on our own. Counseling can help increase awareness towards areas of our lives where we may feel stuck, in conflict, overwhelmed, or shut off. I believe that when we can more clearly see our patterns and responses we can begin to make meaningful changes in our lives and ultimately feel more connected, compassionate, and accepting towards all parts of ourselves.

As we walk through our lives, we are faced with many challenges. Sudden, unexpected events such as injuries, illnesses, and losses can happen to us at any given time. In this fast changing world, it is often difficult to have a sense of balance. You may be overwhelmed by restless, negative feelings and thoughts from past or present issues. It takes courage to seek counseling, face your issues, and to take steps towards positive changes. I believe we all have inner abilities to heal and grow. As a therapist, I would be honored to assist you in your individual journey and help you to discover your true potential and life value.

My “Therapist Mission Statement” is to aid you on your journey of emotional healing, courageous vulnerability, and attachment security. I work from a perspective that prioritizes the importance of emotions, self-esteem, and relationships. Clients have described me as “warm, collaborative, easy to talk to, and insightful”. I strive to facilitate therapy that is as helpful and comfortable as possible. I believe in crafting each session to the specific needs of the individual or couple. At different times I will be your cheerleader, emotional witness, process consultant, reality-checker, co-regulator, and emotional translator.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, haunted by the shadows of childhood trauma, or weighed down by the heavy burden of grief and loss? If so, you don't have to face these challenges alone. I'm here to provide you with a respectful, accepting, and safe space where your healing journey can begin. I'm have a passion for helping individuals find their way through life's most trying moments. My journey into this profession was fueled by a deep desire to make a positive impact on the lives of those who are struggling. I believe that healing is not a destination but a courageous journey, and I'm honored to walk beside you on that path

In art therapy, we make things together to create a bridge to communication, sometimes staying in the metaphor, and other times using the art product as a jumping off point for verbal discussion. When using narrative therapy, we find new and creative ways to look at old, unproductive stories. We create goals together. I provide the solid, predictable framework and ongoing support, as well as parent coaching. We create opportunities for deep insight, meaningful growth and healthy risk-taking.

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).

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 25 years and take a relational approach considering the individual, environment, life experiences, personality, needs and strengths of each person. I enjoy supporting adults, children and families improve communication skills, self awareness, acceptance, and learn adaptive ways to regulate/ manage emotions and behaviors. We will work together to increase insight and awareness and you or your child's overall functioning, and reduce problematic symptoms/behaviors. My clients have expressed feeling safe and accepted and often share appreciating the depth of our work together.

There are many barriers that prevent us from moving forward in life and therapy can help to overcome them. Over the last 15+ years, I have worked with individuals with a variety of struggles. I find that there is a strong connection between the expression of emotions and how healthy our relationships are. With a firm grasp of the research behind effective treatments, I balance compassion with strategies for creating lasting change. We will work collaboratively to create a plan for your individual needs. Therapy will focuses on actions, thoughts and feelings and when we may need to accept or change them.

I believe each us embody an innate wisdom and deep knowing of our strengths and beauty. Sometimes when we experience stress or unexpected change we can lose touch with a positive sense of self and the resources that allow us to thrive in a challenging world. A compassionate, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship strengthens our ability to move through some of our most challenging moments. Together, we will create the conditions for vulnerability and authenticity in a mutual effort to undergo the difficult work of personal transformation.
