Montana Health Co-op Therapists in Belgrade, MT

My clinical expertise centers around helping individuals adaptively address anxiety, stress, various forms of trauma and abuse, and relationship issues. Generally, clients seek my support to help process and manage difficult emotions, increase personal awareness, gain actionable skills, or when they need additional support in managing relational difficulties.

You are STRONG and you are CAPABLE of overcoming the challenges you are facing. We all experience difficult times in life, this is what makes us human.

Currently Accepting New Clients. 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.

I work best with clients who want to build more meaningful lives. My work is based in helping people who feel unsatisfied or out of control to connect to themselves and move forward accordingly. The clients I work with often report feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, numb to their emotions, or some combination of the two. This emotional dysregulation tends to leave people feeling helpless or out of control; in therapy, I work together with clients to move toward a vibrant way of living and an understanding of the power they hold to shape their lives for the better.

Imagine a utopian world where everything always glitters, relationships are easy, work is perpetually fulfilling, fear doesn’t exist, and you graciously welcome every single unexpected situation life throws your way with a wide grin and open arms. Now, open your eyes and keep reading since we both know that isn’t reality. One of my personal values is authenticity and this doesn’t disappear in the room with you. While I can’t promise a life filled with unicorns and rainbows, I can ensure you our time together will be filled with sincerity, support, and likely a bit laughter.

In 2008 I graduated from Western Michigan University with a Masters in Counseling. Since 2010, I have been a counselor in the Bozeman school district, and in 2014, I took a position working part-time at the nCenter in Belgrade. I am trained as a Safe-ti (School and Family Engagement - Trauma Informed) specialist, and I work with children and adolescents who have been traumatized. I love my work because I know the value to children, adolescents and parents in facing these difficulties before adulthood. I use this same skill set to work with adults who have experienced past or present trauma.

I believe that a compassionate, empathetic and non-judgmental environment is essential in therapy. I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it’s important to me to provide a space where you will feel heard, understood and accepted. My goal in the work we will do is to assist in creating change in areas that are important to you. I will collaborate with you to find the approaches that are most helpful and fit your needs. I hope counseling is an opportunity which allows you to develop insight, use personal awareness, learn self-compassion, find tools for enhancing resiliency, and explore your personal story.

We do not view neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, and bipolar disorder) as an illness or a disorder to be cured or removed. Instead, we view it as an evolutionary adaptation that served essential roles in the growth and development of human civilization. We believe that much of the dysfunction our clients experience is due to having to navigate environments that are not built for them, instead of any inherent deficits within them.

My primary focus in the room is the therapeutic relationship between you and me. I believe that creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable and at ease will allow us to have an authentic, open experience with one another. I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective and will treat you with unconditional positive regard. When you feel like you are truly seen and heard then change has the opportunity to grow.

I work with clients that are struggling with various issues.

In my practice, we hold the premise that every person has an innate capacity for healing and unique qualities that have helped them navigate or even survive life. These qualities are called "creative adjustments." However, there can come a time when these creative adjustments become less effective or ineffective. It is here, that we aim to help one achieve healing and relief from pain and discomfort. Our primary work is with children aged 0-18 years and their parents, parents to be, individual adults, and other providers who work with children.

I am a Social Worker License Candidate (SWLC) with a Master of Social Work degree and a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution and Mediation from Colorado State University. I am bi-lingual and professionally proficient in English and Spanish. I have worked with children, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings, including a psychiatric residential treatment facility, a behavioral health hospital, and independent, assisted, and memory care communities. In session, I encourage clients to be their most authentic selves and create a space where they feel heard and understood.

I focus on helping my clients improve their awareness of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Though the development of a strong therapeutic relationship, I aim to help clients celebrate their strengths as well identify and challenge the maladaptive patterns that are keeping them stuck. Together we may explore new ways of labeling and expressing emotion, identify problematic interpersonal patterns, or challenge unhelpful mindsets. My approach emphasizes curiosity, not judgment, around the complex topics that often come up during our work together.
