Therapists Beginning With Y in Montana

Training in Chicago hospitals has equipped me to provide psycho-emotional support to individuals living with health challenges. Since 2000, I have assisted clients with such endeavors as processing life-threatening diagnosis; managing paralysis and chronic pain; and accepting the reality of amputation. Natural "everyday" events such as pregnancy thru child birth can also be life-altering and traumatizing. As a parent, I support caregivers of children with chronic lllness or medical trauma. And as a first-generation American, I am ever mindful of cultural considerations and its impact on coping.

Sessions are currently available, in office and equine assisted psychotherapy. I inherently care about helping you and value your unique life. I'm not a passive counselor who leans back in her chair behind a clipboard muttering an occasional “um-hum.” I am genuinely interested in hearing your story and helping you discover tools and insights to heal and grow. I view you as the expert of your own life and can help you explore patterns and beliefs, help challenge and inspire you and find solutions for change. My ultimate goal is to work with you to create empowerment, freedom and joy in your life.

My role as a therapist is to work in a deep and supportive manner. I strive to foster a compassionate and safe space for you to explore who you are, your patterns, creative aspects, and past traumas. Working through an integrative approach I weave depth psychology and mindfulness together to foster a sense of compassion and curiosity in who we are that encourages self-expression and healing.

Past experiences can often leave a person feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically dysregulated. I help clients increase awareness of how their present mind-body experience can be rooted in the past. I work collaboratively to honor the wisdom of this past experience, while moving toward a more embodied way of living in the present moment.

Everyone has a story, and it is a powerful thing to be able to tell our story without shame. We all have chapters that are difficult to look back on, and when we can compassionately make the connection between our past and our present, we can begin to imagine what our next unwritten chapter might hold for us (and how we'd like to choose to get there). The more we embrace our story, and who we are right now, the more tools we have for navigating our next adventure, and I would love to help be a resource to do just that.

New Client Availability! We are a group practice who specializes in working with teens, college age, and adults who are looking for a place to work through difficulties with experienced professionals. We aim to empower clients to take charge of overcoming mental health issues and offer practical techniques to see and feel change quickly.

Worry, sadness, relationship clashes, avoidance and body pain can be invitations to step back and look inward. What’s going on for you? I believe your genuine answer opens the door to a different experience. This is not an intellectual exercise. It can be uncomfortable. But it can also feel like a relief, as things around you start to shift. If you want something different coming towards you in your life or in your relationship, I am here to support you as you reshape your life and relationships with the people around you. I believe growth wants to happen and counseling can be a great way to set the stage for it to occur.

I believe that we're all works in progress, having found this to be true of clients struggling with life changes to clients with the most complicated of problems--even young gang members, in whom I've had the privilege of seeing humanity and goodness. The role of therapist, for me, is one of empowering, bearing witness to life's bewilderment and suffering, and jointly creating a peace of mind and resilience, sometimes in the face of unresolved problems, while honoring one's own truth and rewriting our narratives in a way that makes sense to us as we make meaning to our lives.

When struggling with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health challenges it can impact every area of our lives. When our current coping tools no longer work, we deserve new ones that do.

There's something you are seeking to understand and discover. Though you may not know exactly what that is at this time, the need and desire to search is there. Something is compelling you to begin the quest of transforming the old and heavy parts of yourself into a more insightful and refined whole. What is important is that you have decided to begin the quest of understanding your past and present, and determining your future.

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. My approach is varied depending upon the needs of clients.
