Sports Performance Therapists in Hamilton, MT

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor providing compassionate and effective counseling services to teens, college students, athletes, and adults. My focus includes individuals struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, identity, and depression. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges and pressures faced by these populations, My goal is to provide a supportive and empowering space where clients can feel heard, be challenged, and understood.

I believe healing happens through connection—with ourselves and others. As a relationship-first therapist, it's my joy to help you find safety and love within yourself and the world around you. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, self-doubt, existential angst/depression, and changing life circumstances. I also work with endurance and mountain athletes who want a therapist that understands their lifestyle on the trail and beyond—from barriers to performing their best to body image/eating struggles, from navigating injury to burnout, and more.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated, open-minded, and eager to improve themselves or their situation. They might be facing challenges in their personal or professional life and are seeking guidance, support, and practical solutions to overcome these obstacles. They value honesty, communication, and collaboration in our working relationship.

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.

I'm a Montana native who has worked in the field of trauma for over 20 years. If you are guarded, uncertain about therapy, worried about being judged for your thoughts and viewpoints, or in general are reluctant about therapy please consider reaching out to me. A lot has changed in the last 5 years and many people are questioning the world and their role in it. If you feel disenfranchised, apathetic, depressed, or uncertain about your beliefs and values you are not alone. I am open to all perspectives and values, regardless of your background.

Is your relationship struggling with communication, intimacy or emotional connection? Do medical challenges leave you feeling stressed or anxious? Are you wrestling with emotional or physical pain?  If so, I am here to help you accomplish your mental health, relationship, and life goals. I can assist you in navigating challenges such as chronic pain, learning to accept change, and learning to move forward in life with a positive attitude. In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in couples therapy and marriage counseling. Let's work together to resolve relationship difficulties, cope with negative emotions and thrive.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is deeply committed to providing a safe and affirming space for meeting you exactly where you are at. With over a decade of experience in mental health, I specialize in helping you manage your anxiety, processing through life events of all sizes, and work towards improving relationship dynamics. I work diligently to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can develop a positive relationship with yourself, navigating issues related to self-acceptance and managing societal pressures.

My therapy practice is focused on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, and difficult life transitions. I aim to guide people towards building a deeper understanding of themselves and to apply healthy habits and life skills that will create lasting change.

Life comes with inevitable changes that can be difficult whether they are planned and wanted, or unplanned and dreadful. With these changes can come emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, or grief, just to name a few. The way we deal with these changes has a lot to do with our past experiences and perception. Our sense of self-worth influences almost every aspect of our lives, and when it's less than healthy, we can miss out on fulfilling our true potential or outright sabotaging ourselves.

I'm focused on helping children, teens, and adults find their strengths and utilize them to make the healthy lasting changes they are looking for. I specialize in treating a range of problems: Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, mood disorders, developmental problems, behavioral issues, ADHD, as well as working with families and children with autism. I understand that each person is different and needs to find an approach suited just for them to be able to heal and grow. I use humanistic, CBT, play therapy, DIR Floortime, and solution focused approaches and tailor them to fit your needs as a client.

Odds are that you are reading this because you are frustrated with at least one aspect of your life. And…you are sick of feeling helpless, hopeless, and stuck. Perhaps your stress has gotten so severe that you have begun experiencing actual medical symptoms, panic, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or a grief reaction. Finally, you are now ready to roll up your sleeves and make some changes. Of course, change isn’t easy. But, inherently, we all know that if we don’t change we…calcify. Are you ready for positive change now?

Neuropsychology is the study of the brain and behavior. A neuropsychological assessment involves an interview and testing to identify and quantify areas of strength and possible impairment. I conduct neuropsychological evaluations to assess for traumatic brain injury, dementia, and ADHD, as well as many other conditions. I also have an extensive clinical and research background in cognitive rehabilitation (e.g., memory strategy development, problem-solving). In addition to conducting evaluations, I also work closely with clients to develop strategies to increase their functioning and enhance mood.

As a counselor, I am passionate about helping people navigate the complex challenges of anxiety, pressure, life transitions, low self esteem, self acceptance, relationship distress, etc. Throughout different sessions, I work diligently to create a space that allows clients to be their authentic selves and feel truly heard as they share their experiences.

People who work with me tend to go beyond just feeling better after improving whatever initially brings them to therapy, such as: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment & relationships, thoughts, emotions etc. Overcoming that stuff is really just the beginning of the process of becoming your potential. If you desire freedom and a deepened connection to your Self & others, I can guide you to unlocking the chains you didn't even know were holding you back. You can be in the drivers seat again, not your thoughts, fears, or symptoms.

It is my goal is to create a safe and open environment for couples, individuals, families, and athletes to explore and conquer the many challenges life often brings.

You do not need to walk this journey alone.
