Limited daytime openings available in October. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple? There would be no peer relationship struggles, everyone had great self-esteem, angelic behaviors abounded, and traumatic life events never occurred. Heck, even our work and home lives were a breeze, we all had uncomplicated relationships, and mental health concerns did not exist. Unfortunately, we do face hard things. Therapy is a way to get help, guidance, and relief as you walk through the daily challenges of life. Are you ready for change? I bet you are!

As a 5th-generation Montanan, I have experienced the value of deep roots and being connected to a place, a people, and a story.

I have training in individual therapy for adults and minors, couples therapy, and family systems. Whether working with adults, children, or families, I believe relationships are the mechanism for healing and that my relationship with my clients is a starting point for change.

There are points in our life when burdens become too heavy, the way forward too dim, and we lose sight of who we are. I believe suffering is not meant to be endured alone. As a counselor, my hope is to provide a space where there is both warmth and freedom – freedom to show up as you are and walk into light, which is a metaphor that means something different to each person. This often requires courage and time. I will compassionately and respectfully walk with you, as we navigate the path towards healing and wholeness together.

Are you struggling with the sorrow of losing someone or something you love? Do you feel like you can't "get over it" and you would like someone to come along side you with kindness, compassion, empathy and support? We often attribute grief to death, but we can also grieve over lost relationships, physical abilities, employment, life transitions and many other things. Through life and loss experiences, we can lose hope, our sense of purpose and our connection with others. We can also experience transitions within our relationships that can cause us to feel disconnected and alone or hopeful and excited for a bright future together.

Are you struggling to feel heard or understood in the stories you tell about your life? I believe that every person has a story to tell and as we navigate challenges and successes we begin to write the stories of our lives. The story begins with the rules and values learned growing up. Sometimes a character or event written in your story is at the hands of someone else. When someone else writes their truth into your story it can feel upsetting and it can be hard to understand why. Counseling provides the opportunity to open the book and read through the parts that don’t you feel don’t belong.

You recognized that you needed some help. Sometimes, this takes a long time to identify, get up the nerve to seek help, and then reach out and ask for it. You are brave, and I'm proud of you for reaching this point. Now, let's meet and talk about it. I work with people processing trauma, anxiety, addiction, suffering, abuse recovery, depression, relational struggles, loneliness, sorrow, and loss. I work with children to help with abuse and neglect issues, divorce care, family struggles, and school and peer troubles. I work with couples for premarital and marriage counseling and with women of all ages.

Do you feel stuck making the same relationship mistakes over and over again? Do you find yourself giving too much in friendships, just to become bitter or lonely? Does your mind feel like an exhausting, rolling inner monologue? How can you know why you do these things, but keep doing them? Have you tried therapy but were left wanting? I feel you. I work with anxious individuals who are looking to explore their sense of identity in a deeper approach to therapy. So much of what makes us, us, is unconscious and not accessed via verbal processing.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
