Domestic Abuse Therapists in Columbia Falls, MT

Does your heart hurt? Have you lost a loved one to death or divorce and your mourning feels unbearable? Grief and loss also comes from relocating, breaking up with a significant other, fired from a job, a broken friendship, a pet dying, abusive childhood, or substance abuse. Grief can feel heavy and numbing. You may feel anxiety, anger, depression and are isolating. Self-medicating through alcohol and drugs is common, too. Negative emotions are balled up and difficult to untangle alone. Do you want to move through the journey of grief into a place where it feels "more normal"?

I believe that each of us is a complete person with unique challenges, experiences, strengths, and opportunities for growth and change. A life that includes pain, mistakes, betrayal, or trauma is not a broken life or one less worthy of love or a better future. Everyone goes through times when we can benefit from an ally to walk alongside us, assist us in reaching our goals, or empower us to find our magic. My approach is one of acceptance and non-judgement for the person in front of me, creating a safe space for self-discovery. I am honored to have the privilege of my profession and I look forward to the journey with each client.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Maybe you are struggling in your relationships and want to feel more connected with others. Maybe you are someone who wants to learn more about yourself and how you interact with the world around you. Everyone has struggles that are unique to them and their past experiences. Therapy can help you view difficult issues from a different perspective. A new perspective can help you change patterns and solve problems differently, leading you to feel more comfortable in your day-to-day life.

I believe that inside of all of us lives our ability to connect with all the tools and energy to live a powerful life. Sometimes things happen and we lose sight of that connection and it is necessary to work with someone to ask the tough questions and be an empathic witness on our courageous step into self-discovery. My goal is to empower you to call the inner pieces of yourself out of the shadows, give them a powerful, authentic voice and truly embrace them.

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed, Hopeless, and Unsure Where to Turn? Does everyone else seem to think you've got it all together, yet inside, you feel totally out of control? Are you struggling with feeling stressed, overwhelmed, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or just "don't feel happy". In addition to conventional therapy we offer art therapy and activities with our horses to address mental and behavioral health issues for women, adolescents, military personnel and veterans in a multi-faceted treatment approach with evidence of positive treatment outcomes.

Sometimes life is about showing up and trying, even in the places where we struggle the most. Some of our work may be about your current life and the various problems or stressors that are troubling you. We will work together to explore why these troubles have presented themselves and find a way through them. Some of our work may also be about your formative years of childhood; love and how you have or have not been loved by the most influential people in your life (including yourself); how various thoughts/behaviors may be benefiting or hindering your life or finding your voice and having the ability to use it strongly but kindly.

There’s an idea by Carl Rogers - unconditional positive regard- which means “accepting and respecting others as they are without judgment”. That’s what you deserve and that’s what I hope to offer to you. I’d like to provide a secure and welcoming space as you begin, or continue, your mental health journey. You've come this far. You're reading this because you're curious, and maybe there's a part of you that is ready to start your healing journey.

I have a passion for working with people who are in need of surrendering old coping skills and behaviors that no longer serve them. This may be challenging those "old" thought patterns when they arise, or allowing space for a "new" point of view or voice to be heard. The therapeutic relationship should be a place where one can practice setting boundaries, empowering themselves, and self advocating. My practice includes an integrative and somatic psychotherapy approach. Modalities include EMDR, CBT, attachment theory, neurodevelopment and psycho-education, and somatic techniques.
