Stress Therapists in Fairfield, MT

Everyone is different and I have found over the years that people find many ways to cope. I work to help you cultivate those skills that are working and provide additional skills to help with healthy coping while providing opportunities to work through current and past life stressors in a non-biased or judgmental way. Focusing on these strategies consistently helps people start feeling better and less stressed. My goal is for you to find how therapy can help you feel better, with the added support and sense of not needing to do your journey all on your own.

I believe that individuals posses the strength within themselves to make the changes necessary to reach their desired goals. However, stress, trauma, life transition, grief/loss, etc. can make it difficult to identify and recognize these strengths and resources. Working in collaboration with my clients, I assist them in uncovering or rediscovering their inner resources and figuring out how they can be used to guide them toward the life they want to live. Through an individualized approach and nonjudgmental stance, I show my clients kindness, compassion, authenticity, validation, and unconditional positive regard.

As a therapist, I believe that therapy can be an extremely useful vehicle of change. Change can be obtained in a variety of ways depending on the needs & personality of each client. I emphasize listening, unconditional positive regard and respect, while providing a safe and caring environment. I focus on the individual strengths of each client, and his/her ability to manage their choices. My goal is to guide each client toward positive personal growth by providing him/her with support through therapy, coaching, education & resource sharing. These skills learned will not only be helpful between sessions, but throughout life.

What does it mean to hold space for someone else? As a clinically trained social worker my goal is to provide a space for you that is safe, supportive and free from judgment. I help my clients explore and identify sources of stress with a goal of improving their well-being. I enjoy working with pregnant and postpartum moms (and dads), helping people work through grief and bereavement, people who are coping with a life-changing medical condition, and people who are healing and recovering from depression, trauma and anxiety. I have been practicing as a generalist social worker in the Helena community for 10 years.

Chronic pain, anxiety, emotional distress, and unrelenting stress can disrupt daily life, making it challenging to engage in once-pleasurable activities, maintain healthy relationships, and manage overwhelming emotions. I am here to come along side you to help you navigate these challenges. Together we will work to identify your strengths and areas for growth, create safety, reduce fear, foster personal development, and increase your ability to cope and build resiliency.

Adolescence can be a trying time for young people and their families. Power struggles and communication problems create conflicts that seem unresolvable. Add complications from issues like trauma or anxiety and frustrations increase. By creating honest, respectful relationships I've been able to help teens pursue independence in appropriate and healthy ways. Often communication opens and hostility fades. This has been the main focus of my practice. Working with families I have seen the benefits of strengthening couple's relationships and helping parents become their healthiest selves. Whether through managing stress or treating mental illness healthy adults make healthy kids.

I believe the heart of therapy is an authentic and trusting relationship. I have a down-to-earth and gentle nature and am known for my humor, warmth, curiosity, and compassion. I believe all people have the spirit and wisdom to become the best version of their self and I work collaboratively with clients to help explore what may be getting in the way of their natural healing capacity. I work well with adults struggling with depression, anger, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships issues, drug and alcohol concerns, and self-esteem issues.

There are points in our life where our past traumas or burdens become too heavy, the way forward appears dim, and we lose sight what we desire to achieve. I recognize the courage it takes to participate in therapy and strive to create a transparent, non-judgmental relationship. Taking a client centered approach; you the client will always be the center of treatment and treated as a unique individual. I will take time to get to know you and tailor my approach to what best fits your needs & unique personality.

I like to say "Therapy is the process of processing the process", I would be honored to walk that path with you. With a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) , I have been trained in various evidence-based treatments to help you cope with your daily life stressors, trauma, and unexpected life changes. I have been providing professional mental health services in Billings since 2020, and now, as a practitioner in a group practice.

I believe that therapy should be a healing process to help address a wide variety of issues in our lives. The client-therapist relationship is a key component to successful growth and healing. I strive to offer an eclectic approach to therapy to meet each client’s specific needs. I work with my clients and meet them where they are in life, helping them develop a plan of action to address their individual needs. I will work with everyone to find their strengths, help them grow, and achieve their life goals.

I have learned that the heart and success of therapy is a safe and trusting relationship /environment where people can grow. I work to provide this safety in a supportive and non judgmental environment which empowers and encourages this. My role is to be empathic and support/guide this growth as well as to give clients a greater understanding of themselves. I see us all as unique and gifted and value the varying depths and needs of people.

I work with my clients to develop treatment goals that will decrease distress and improve overall mental health. I focus on helping clients reach their goals by recognizing the complex interactions between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

I often utilize evidence based practice, mindfulness, stress management, and supportive therapy in treatment. I believe in helping clients find confidence in their abilities and recognition of their self-worth. I strive to provide a therapeutic environment that is warm, open, and non-judgmental.
