Male Therapists in Helena, MT

I love helping people address needs related to relationships, family, children, faith, and self-development. I am interested in the intricacies, challenges, and healing of relationships which involves honest appraisal and assessment of interpersonal communications which affect the most important aspects of personhood and human interactions. I enjoy the adventure of accompanying clients as they seek resolution of the challenges of living with ourselves and others in the world. The ultimate goal, in my current understanding, is to be at peace with who we are, who we have been, and continue striving to become the person we want to be.

I work well with adults and adolescents, and am experienced in a variety of issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, codependency, addiction, relationship issues, and more.

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 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. My goal is to offer each client access to mental and emotional healing so he or she can live a happy and healthy life.

I believe individuals have it within themselves to effectuate positive change and that the therapeutic relationship can facilitate that process. By providing a person-centered approach to therapy, clients use their own wisdom and self-knowledge to move forward, improve their lives and achieve a greater level of self-actualization. Recognizing common threads and patterns woven into the tapestry of each unique reality, affords greater understanding, appreciation and empowerment.

You, like everyone, are on life's journey, with winding roads and various paths. You're likely looking for a new path, or looking to no longer be lost or stuck on a current path. Our therapeutic relationship will be the most important foundation for working together to create change and find emotional direction and understanding. To create this foundation, I will always strive to ensure you find yourself in a safe, trusted, non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard, understood, and empowered. From this place, we will create a path of growth and change.

I do my best to create a non-judgmental space where you feel heard. I help by assisting you to explore your issues and struggles that you bring to each therapy session. I will also assist you to process your emotions and feelings and ultimately support you in your decisions. Through this process you can learn to understand and manage the issues and road blocks that seem insurmountable.
