Let's be honest, most of us wouldn't go back to our adolescent years even if someone paid us to do so. Growing up is hard and life throws a lot at children, teens, and young adults. It is not uncommon to feel many conflicting ways about adolescence (and often times many conflicting ways at once). The things we face as we grow up impact our ability to engage, succeed, and feel accepted in our family life, our friend and peer circles, and in our academic sphere. It is my distinct honor to work with adolescents as they navigate some of the toughest years of life.

Sessions can be online or in-person.
As a mental health counselor, I'm passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges. I provide empathic, evidence-based counseling to support clients as they strive to live well, however they define "well" for themselves. With a focus on neurodiversity (ADHD, autism); grief; loneliness; and anxiety, I am dedicated to fostering well-being and promoting individual and communal wholeness. Compassion and relationship form the basis of my counseling approach, and I am committed to showing every person respect for who and how they are.

I work primarily with pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and couples who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. They’re often at a point where they’re ready to take accountability, reinforce adaptive behaviors, break unhelpful patterns, and better understand themselves. I provide a secure space to explore difficult emotions, gain practical tools and insight, and increase self-awareness. My style is approachable and direct and I firmly believe the Client is the expert of themselves and their situation. I strive to reinforce one's balance, confidence, and resilience and will support Client's to the best of my abilities.

We offer in person and video sessions in a cozy, calm environment.
Do you feel anxious, depressed, irritable, or just not like yourself? Are you struggling in your relationships, at work, in school, with family, or in every day life? Do you dread getting out of bed in the morning? Do you lack motivation to get things done, or no longer enjoy things you normally do? Are you questioning your identity? Maybe you've recently given birth, become a new parent, or experienced a significant life event that has left you feeling uncertain about where you fit in the world. You want to understand why you're feeling this way and find meaning amidst this hard time in your life. You want to feel like YOU again.

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.

I want to bring hope to whatever situation you are facing. As we work together in individual or couples counseling, I will help facilitate healing, growth, and self-compassion. You may be stressed beyond your limits at home and/or work with our new world realities due to COVID-19. Maybe you are dealing with past or current trauma, or struggling in your relationships. You may find yourself facing grief and loss during this time as our losses have increased due to stay-at-home orders and new ways of living. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and feelings of loneliness as a result.

I graduated from Montana State University in 2010 and have a combined 6 years working with children and adults with mental health issues. My interests are working with adults and children that suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar, attachment issues. I also have an interest in working with families to help with healthy boundaries, increasing positive communication and setting appropriate goals to increase the health of the family.

Our practice works with teens, college students, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges and life transitions. Feeling lost, overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious in your day-to-day life can often mean you are in need of change. While 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 and know what stands in your way and how to overcome it, you are more motivated to work toward your goals. We help clients work through the areas where they struggle, whether they involve personal, school, relational, addiction, or career challenges.

Due to COVID, I offer telehealth for those needing to socially distance, and upon request, special office arrangements for in-person visits
My aim is to work with the Latinx community in Montana, because I believe in the importance of receiving services in our own language. I help people who are living domestic issues, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, self-worth, relationship issues, etc. Depending on the necessities of the client, I incorporate modalities of narrative therapy, art therapy, solution-focused therapy, attachment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

I have limited in-person availability, however, I have found that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person counseling in many cases.
I have completed my training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have almost completed the certification process. Somatic Experiencing helps to heal panic, anxiety, and trauma by integrating the nervous system into the healing process. My emphasis is on healing from, as opposed to coping with, symptoms.

What's wrong? . . . I don't know . . . This is a common conversation parents and children have. "I don't know" can leave everyone feeling frustrated and hopeless. The full range of emotions are overwhelming and it is understandable this is their response. I hope to offer a safe space, for children and teens, to feel respected and supported as they navigate their parent's divorce, transitions in school, friendships, or being a member of the LGBTQIA+ communities. There are also opportunities for parents to participate through parenting education, co-parenting classes, and joint sessions with their children.

I provide teleheath and in-person session.
I am focusing at this time on with elementary school children and their families. I work a great deal with foster and adoptive families and those who are struggles with systems and economics that make parenting particularly difficult. If your child is frustrated and struggles with staying calm and focusing on what they need to do, if you seem to constantly get phone calls from school and child care regarding you child's behavior, or your placement is struggling with settling into you home please give me a call. I accept medicaid, HMK, HMK+ and most insurance.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal. Healing brings us closer to a sense of wholeness in our lives, which leads to authenticity, close and connected relationships, meaning and purpose, and connection to nature and spirit. However, experiences from the past or current challenges or stressors can leave people feeling overwhelmed. Through counseling, an individual can explore their experiences, process their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations in the present moment, which will guide them toward increased awareness, emotional regulation, greater capacity and a sense of well-being and vitality.

Human development is a lifelong process, where each moment of life, every human being is in a state of personal evolution. By taking consideration of the bio-psycho-social, spiritual, and cultural factors that shape us, clients provide a unique perspective into their identity, as well as finding their place in the world. When events in life cause feelings of anxiety, extreme sadness, feeling stuck, or overwhelm it may become necessary to retrace, or reprocess these moments to develop resolution.

I work with clients in-person in Bozeman at Northern Nutrition Group, but also see clients via telehealth.
We often start counseling because something doesn't feel right. You don't need to know what is "wrong" with you, and you definitely don't need to know your "diagnosis." Feeling "lousy" or frustrated is all we need to start with. As a dietitian of 15 years, I've worked with clients with food issues and eating disorders that were based in depression, anxiety, trauma, or shame issues. Sharing our truth with another person can feel strange and even embarrassing or shameful. My job (and so far I've been pretty good at it) is to make you feel safe and help you feel better. Yes, you have to show up, but I'll be there with you.
