Therapists in Billings, MT

Are you ready to heal from PTSD, trauma, grief, anxiety or depression? Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and stressed out? Life can throw us curveballs which can leave us sad, unmotivated, and heartbroken. Loved ones can leave us, relationships end, and life can sometimes be difficult. I believe that even though bad things happen, we can heal and have good lives. I help my clients to work toward finding solutions and skills so that they can find happiness after traumatic events. Life is too short to be sad, anxious, and depressed. You deserve to feel good about yourself!

We are born whole with all we need to live the life of our dreams. Our experiences and interactions with others shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us often overshadowing our personal truth and purpose. With support, we can uncover our truth, find out purpose, and return our whole selves. Beginning with your first session, we will explore where you are, how you got here, and plan to achieve the life you want. You will leave with renewed hope and strength. Contact me so we can schedule a time for you to begin your journey.

You will find me to be client focused offering a safe, confidential place to address and work through your personal problems/issues. Clients find me easy to talk to and non-judgmental. You get to set your goals and pace for therapy. My 25 years of experience working with victims of abuse and trauma, adoptive families, depression, anxiety, grief, behavioral and emotional problems, parenting issues, relationship problems, and too many other issues to list gives me vast resources to help you grow. It would be an honor to work with you.

Imagine living your best life! We all face challenges and difficulties in life. For some it is trauma, others experience chronic health issues, not to mention day-to-day stressors of society's unrealistic demands and expectations. No one goes through life without experiencing the struggle. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. I guide individuals through the process to gain insight into what holds them back from realizing their goals.

I am a survivor of trauma, have worked as a special education teacher in Seattle for twelve years, and have worked as a Licensed Psychotherapist and Licensed Addictions Counselor in Billings since 2004. My passions are Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), people with special needs, grief/loss, the elderly, veterans, and helping people in crisis in general. I understand how addiction impacts people in crises. I specialize in improving communication. I inform my practice with brain research. Hope is everything.
