Autism Therapists in Montana
I enjoy helping kids and teens overcome life's challenges. I believe that teamwork with parents is critical to kid's healing and healthy development. With over 25 years of professional experience, I specialize in treating children ages 2-18. I offer effective evidence based treatment for early childhood through adolescence. Children's stumbling blocks can be rooted in anxiety, depression, loss, behavioral difficulties, trauma, learning or developmental disabilities, neurodiversity, family disruptions, or academic struggles. Counseling can help turn these struggles into valuable life experience and increased confidence.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from all cultural backgrounds and from all walks of life. I offer online therapy and retreats for individuals, couples, families, and groups. My lifelong love and appreciation for the outdoors called me to make a bold move to Montana. This is where I was exposed to the many opportunities to use my love of the outdoors to enrich the therapeutic process.

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
This quote from a poem by Rumi encapsulates how I offer space for folks to who are looking to explore and make meaning around their experiences. I would like to help you to find clarity through reflection, and healing through connection. If you are looking to manage anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or are in an adjustment period, I may be a good fit for you. I embrace the individual nature and unique strengths of each person, to witness or help guide them making a connection within, to be a person they feel safe with and proud of.

Do you ever feel like your young child doesn't listen to you, or they do the opposite of what you ask them to do? Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based therapy to promote attachment using positive attention strategies to guide behaviors, while helping caregivers to provide consistent and predictable consequences when necessary. I work with biological parents, foster and adoptive families, and other caregivers including extended family. We also provide individual therapy to address challenges in parenting, and Circle of Security parenting sessions.

Are you someone who often shows up for others but struggles to show up for yourself? Do you find it hard to give yourself the same compassion that you offer to those around you?
There comes a time where those patterns stop serving us and get in the way of our relationships, goals, and desires.
I provide a mix of real talk and support to help you change patterns that need changing (with compassion) and move forward with clarity and confidence.

My therapeutic approach emphasizes a focus on subconscious motives & creativity forms of expression. I am Depth Psychologist with a PhD in Community, Liberation, and Eco psychology and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. I do not believe in fixing people, but instead in helping them explore the reasons symptoms and behaviors are coming forward, then working toward building stronger coping skills and resiliency. Evidence for the efficacy of depth psychological approaches to psychotherapy is growing as studies show that depth psychology has a longer-lasting and more profound impact than cognitive or behavioral psychologies alone.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I am now seeing children, teens, and adults with Bozeman Counseling Center.
I believe behavior is communication. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to understand you, a child, or a teen is communicating. By creating a judgement free space and empowering the client, I aim to engage adults, children, and teens in centering themselves, processing their experiences, and advocating for their needs. I also have experience working with people impacted by disabilities and systemic trauma.

My philosophy is to meet each person where they are and to provide support in navigating their journey. Working with anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma is my passion. I believe therapy is an opportunity to grow in our understanding of ourselves and the world, to change, and teach our bodies and minds new ways of functioning when our old tools no longer serve us. I have a holistic approach and look at all the areas of a person's life (such as medical needs, finances and other environmental factors) in determining how to best support them. I am evidence-based and utilize research and ongoing training to shape my practice.

Do you have intrusive or disturbing thoughts? Struggle to shrug things off or let things go? Finding yourself doing or saying things you don't want to and don't know what to do about it? Anxiety, worry, stress, trauma, anger, and self loathing are not something you have to fight forever on your own. Therapy is a chance to share with someone who will listen and understand and can teach you how to overcome these things in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Consider coming in and learning some tools and having help to create new patterns and break the chains holding you back.

I strive to meet each client where they are at and to support their movement forward. For psychological testing, an ideal client calls me with two or three specific questions that they have about themselves or their child. Does my child have OCD? Why am I having a difficult time succeeding at school/work? What can I understand better about my personality to have healthier relationships?

Therapy is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns, struggling with anxiety or self-doubt, or wanting to strengthen your relationships, I help clients uncover what’s getting in the way of the life they want and build meaningful change from the inside out. My approach is collaborative and relational, which means that I believe growth happens through authenticity, curiosity, and connection. Together, we work to understand the “why” behind your experiences, build confidence and clarity, and empower you to make choices that feel more aligned with who you truly are.

By the time most people reach out, they've been struggling with something on their own for a long time. Perhaps part of you is still stuck in something painful that happened years ago. Perhaps it's anxiety or depression that won't lift, or the same unhealthy patterns playing out in your relationships. Maybe you're going through a big transition and trying to figure out what it means for you. Whatever it is, you don't have to be in it alone. There is a way through, and therapy can help.
