Therapists in Bozeman, MT

Sometimes life gets complicated and our "go-to" fixes don't work as well. Sometimes we struggle with overwhelming emotions or maintaining successful relationships. Perhaps it's a new problem you're experiencing and you want to learn more about it. Or maybe it's even a probation officer requiring you to do it. Whatever the issue is new or old, finding a therapist is a courageous step to take! I'd be happy to offer you a free phone consultation to help you in finding the right fit.

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.

My focus is working with individual adults. I support individuals in finding happiness, fulfilment, and balance in their lives by helping them navigate life transitions, dissatisfying relationships, and life stressors. I also specialize in helping people in overcoming issues like anxiety, depression, and attachment trauma.

Telling your story to someone can serve as a powerful catalyst for creating positive change in your life. Counseling provides a unique space to share and process your experiences to begin to make meaning out of them, discover strengths, and live a more enriched life. I strive to create a welcoming space for people to share their stories, discover strengths, and uncover the innate value that you possess.

I am a licensed addiction counselor located in Bozeman, Montana, working primarily with adults who are struggling with substance use or behavioral addictions.

What would it be like to be able to say no and not have it come with a side of guilt? A life where you only say yes to the tasks, responsibilities, and people that matter most to you? I’ve been there and I can help. I work to help people who struggle to set healthy boundaries with people in their lives, or often need to feel angry or frustrated before they are able to say “no”. This process of learning often feels difficult and one of my passions is helping people identify what is keeping them stuck in the old patterns, discover what they value and who they want to be, then commit to achieving a life that feels worth living.

Simply put--life can be challenging. Managing the ever changing shifts we encounter in our personal and professional lives can be difficult. These changes can disrupt our everyday routine, our mindset, and our overall well-being.

People from all walks of life benefit from sharing their worries, concerns, and story. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to share everything on your mind and heart. Through a personalized approach, I hope to support you in finding balance in your life.

This year marks 20 years since I stepped into healthcare counseling & I feel the importance of this work accelerating every year. As stress-related chronic conditions soar, a pandemic quiets but leaves long-term effects, healthcare providers burnout, & patients suffer through flawed systems; I have an unmatched empathy for both patients & providers, having been on both sides. My focus is on helping those with chronic illnesses, pain syndromes, medical trauma, & undiagnosed conditions improve their understanding, coping, & management of their health, while working to also improve communication with important care partners.

Do you love your partner but just aren't sure how to make it work? Are you feeling lonely and maybe resentful in your relationships?

If the answer the any of these questions is a loud and resounding YES, you might benefit from counseling at Little Bear Counseling.

Currently accepting clients. Sometimes we reach a point in our lives that feels so challenging, we aren’t sure how to move forward. Maybe you are grieving the loss of a loved one, working through a stressful transition, or struggling to connect in relationships. Maybe you can't point to anything specific that's happening in your life, but you've realized that just getting through the day feels like a challenge. Finding your way here is the first step to creating something different for yourself.

My approach to counseling is practical, supportive, & collaborative.

So, you feel stuck. It's confusing where you are. It's foggy, blunt, forest and trees - you can only see a few steps ahead. You can't figure out what you feel nor think your way out of this - and you really feel hopeless. But, you're not willing to give up completely. I get it. You want to; get out of this hole, get control of your life, be true to yourself, stop having so much unnecessary conflict within yourself and your relationships, not feel so overpowered by emotions, go from "I don't know" to actually knowing.

I consider my greatest therapeutic focus to be trauma-informed work. I practice a holistic and integrative approach that incorporates emotion-focused and attachment-based perspectives and is client-centered and based in relationship. My areas of expertise include working with individuals and families, and teens and young adults, as well as anyone interested in exploring and addressing the challenges and successes of being a human in this world.

We are all wired for relationships and we long to connect with the people we love. Our relationships with those around us affect the way we think and feel about ourselves and our world. Eventually, we develop habitual patterns of thinking that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical experience. Sometimes, these patterns become problematic, cause us distress, and keep us from reaching our goals.

I am passionate about supporting my clients as they heal from traumas and attachment disruptions. Our work together focuses on developing inner resources which help to regulate emotions, increase acceptance for self and foster positive relationships with others. I aim to create a supportive and safe space for my clients to explore their "best self.” We work together to uncover no only what they are doing that serves them, but also what is holding them back from reaching their “best self” potential. I honor the courage it takes to seek help, and to be vulnerable in therapy. I value the power of the therapeutic relationship.
