Therapists in Bozeman, MT

I am truly honored to be a counselor. It seems our lives are similar to jigsaw puzzles which at times can feel overwhelming. I believe I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support as individuals and couples make sense of the pieces of their live(s). Mindfulness is the foundation of my therapeutic approach whether tending to mental health, relationship, trauma and/or transitional issues.

It can be empowering to have an active role in the therapy process. I believe in a collaborative partnership with my clients where I provide support and the tools to help make lasting changes. I believe every person has the right to their own self-determination, to make their own choices and manage their own life. I utilize evidence-based theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Process to guide my work and influence the interventions used throughout each session. My goal as your therapist is to help you navigate difficulties while supporting you in utilizing and recognizing your own strengths and resilience.

After 25 years as a therapist, along with my own life experiences, I’ve learned one thing for certain - we are all faced with pain and challenges that can lead to growth and change. But we can also get stuck. Life is challenging, requiring us to face things we want to avoid because those very things are uncomfortable & or painful. I believe humans have an innate desire to grow and flourish with challenges, but this desire gets buried for numerous reasons. Together in a safe therapeutic relationship, I believe I can help you feel less alone, rediscover your innate goodness , increase psychological flexibility, & feel better.

Hi there! No matter what brought you here, I think it's brave that you took these steps in seeking help. I'm an empath by nature and believe everyone has the ability to be the best versions of themselves, sometimes we just need a little support to get there. I believe a lot of the work is really about having a better relationship with ourselves. Through narratives, internal beliefs, and identities, I can help you build a version of yourself that you can feel confident and proud of.

I believe at the core of each of our experiences in life is our felt sense of feeling safe or unsafe in relationships and situations. I also believe that our nervous system is inherently linked to how we are responding to people & situations. The acknowledgement of our nervous system requires us to connect to our body & become an active observer of how we are managing or coping while being in the world. This process is focused on initially helping people begin to find things that make them feel better & resourced & then moving towards the "hot button topics" once we have reached a more resilient place in our systems.

A counseling space can be used for many types of healing experiences. I believe in client-guided therapy, taking cues from the individuals I work with in terms of directiveness and approach. Having previously worked in a variety of settings from schools to substance treatment clinics, I understand the deep need for flexibility, validation, and strong communication.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, change, and live a life of purpose and meaning. I offer an accepting, nonjudgmental environment and I aim to meet people where ever they are in life. I believe my warm, genuine nature helps to create a strong therapeutic relationship that can foster the growth many are looking for. My specialty is in trauma healing, which includes working with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and unhealthy patterns or addiction. My hope is to help people reconnect to their body as part of the healing process, shifting towards ways to thrive rather than just survive their experience.

People seek therapy for all kinds of reasons. Many are looking for support as they navigate current situations, decisions, and relationships in their lives. Many are looking for change. Change in their internal experience and emotions, change in their pattern of thinking or behavior, or change in their relationships with themselves or others. I enjoy working with clients to understand how their unique experiences have shaped who they are and inform their life in the present.

My counseling practice focuses on making sense of anxiety, addiction, OCD, and the origins and consequences of trauma. Many of the clients with whom I work are adept at masking painful emotions, or they cope with stress in unhealthy ways. I treat individual adults from all walks of life. In addition, I work with military personnel, first responders, and others whose jobs require managing emergencies. Regardless of one's background, talking about problems with an objective outsider in a safe, welcoming, confidential setting can ease the pain and increase well-being.

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.
