Are you someone who has a child who is struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, or difficulties with self-esteem and relationships, often feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed by big emotions they don’t yet have the tools to manage? They need a safe, trusting environment where they can express themselves freely through play or conversation while learning skills that match their developmental level. Goals can include feeling calmer and more confident, improving communication, strengthening relationships with caregivers and peers, and building resilience to navigate everyday stressors.

The world can feel really heavy, whether due to global events or individual experiences. As a culturally-responsive therapist, I offer a safe space, where all people are welcome. My approach to therapy is person-centered, which means the client guides our collaborative work. The way I see it, I am an expert in psychotherapy, and the client is an expert in their lived experiences. Only together can we set goals and explore how best to reach them.

I love helping couples with communication issues and those feeling stuck with their marriage. I also enjoy helping those coping with anxiety, depression, and existential issues (including finding meaning and purpose). In the past I have worked with parents, children, world class professional poker players, teachers and those experiencing homelessness. My therapeutic focus is to meet each person where they are at in their journey and to work alongside them to help them accomplish their goals together, as a team. If I don't know something I'll be honest about it. I tend to be straightforward but compassionate.

Hi! I am currently seeing clients in person in Helena and providing telehealth across Western Montana. I am a relationship-oriented therapist striving to accept clients unconditionally wherever they are at in life. I believe (and research supports) therapy works best when client and therapist work together toward understanding the origins of dissatisfaction and finding freedom to truly be oneself. This process makes possible change that enhances the relationship with oneself and with others. I work with clients to develop greater openness to experience and greater capacity for the complexity of a richly lived life.

It is my belief that everyone possesses an inner strength that can contribute to incredible resiliency. You have already taken a step - reading this - that requires courage and a sense of hope. Let’s build off of that to identify and address unhealthy patterns of behavior and/or beliefs about yourself, and chart new paths toward a future that is more rewarding and fulfilling. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with mindfulness, and an emphasis on self-compassion that is driven by recognition and appreciation of your inner strengths.

When difficult challenges emerge, having someone to walk alongside us can make all the difference. Each person carries their own wisdom about what serves them best, and together we can build awareness around the patterns where you feel stuck, wounded, or unsettled. I work with adults, adolescents, children, families, and fellow providers who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relational concerns, life transitions, and burnout. I aim to provide a steady and supportive place to land and from there we focus on tending to what matters most to you.

How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
