Therapists in Billings, MT

I believe the most important relationship we have in this life is with ourselves. Therapy can offer us a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves. Learning to love ourselves is a difficult process and is also very transformative and healing. I like to approach therapy with the ideas of helping a client develop a safe and trusting relationship with themself and to also approach themself with curiosity and compassion. I believe in the healing power of our minds and bodies and love to help clients learn how to cultivate this for themselves.

We all face challenges, uncertainties and various struggles in life. Taking the steps to make changes at times are not always easy. I invite you to therapy if you are struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck in everyday life. I will provide you with a safe and private space where you can focus just on yourself and with tools to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself and with others around you.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I work closely with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that therapy should be a safe space where clients can feel comfortable exploring difficult topics and emotions. I work to identify strengths and build upon them, while also addressing areas of challenge.

I recognize how difficult it can be to allow someone into your world and seek help from an outside person. I appreciate the value in relationships and center my therapy practice around building strong relationships. My goal as your therapist is to work alongside you developing new skills and refreshing skills you forgot you had. Life is a journey filled with happiness and sorrow. Sometimes the difficulty experienced in life can lead a person feeling sad, lonely, agitated, hopeless and unsure of the future. Seeking counseling is just another journey in life. I am here to help you on that journey.

Do you struggle with self-confidence or anxiety? Have you experienced grief or gone through trauma? Are you going through the adoption process or struggling with your identity as an adoptee?

Doing this, in turn, can lead into potential depression and not feeling like ourselves anymore. Yet, life has so much to offer, and you are here for a reason. You have a purpose and deserve to live a beautiful, happy and fulfilled life where you feel confident and capable of conquering those anxieties.

I feel that everyone has a need for counseling at some point in life. Just as we have physical health, we have mental and emotional health.
