Teletherapy for Montana

One thing in life is certain, life doesn't unfold like we thought it would. I have over 22 years of experience. I have worked in a mental health hospital, adolescent boys ranch, Cancer Treatment Center, counseling office and counseled as a pastor. My goal is to provide a secure place to offer help, hope, and healing. My mission: to assist clients in cultivating relationships that promote freedom, intimacy, engagement and truth. I meet with individuals, couples (EFT) and families experiencing emotional, relational, spiritual, and marital distress by providing a range of high-quality mental health services that promote wholeness.

Are you becoming more and more emotionally disengaged and lonely in your marriage? Do you want to feel more connected to your partner...tired of the vicious circles of negative assumptions and harsh reactions…beginning to dislike the person you are becoming in your marriage? With over 50 years experience, I provide Researched Based Marriage Therapy using both The Gottman Research and that of Emotion Focused Therapy to give you "state of the art" marriage counseling. Let's meet on Zoom a few times and work toward a Private Intensive Marriage Counseling Weekend on Placid Lake, in the Seeley Swan Valley. It's time! "Let's do this!"

Hi - Welcome to ONLINE counseling. I have a unique practice that supports people from all over Montana --- after 15 years of seeing couples and individuals in person in my Bozeman office, I'm now working exclusively with individuals online. I have had the honor of helping hundreds of Montanans conquer their depression or anxiety, regain their confidence, improve their communication skills, renew their relationship by working on themselves ... and to get back to being the person they want to be. I think you'll be surprised at how comfortable online therapy feels - it's just like sitting in the same room.

We got this! Together, we can explore the obstacles you are facing and turn them into opportunities for a happier life and healthier relationships. Sometimes life is just plain difficult, and it seems like no matter which way you turn, you are blocked. It’s frustrating and scary and there seems to be no way out of the box we are in. But it is the choices we make during those very times that open, or create, the windows and doors we need. It is about taking in and making sense of the information our emotions and experiences are providing us and figuring out how to turn those insights into action.

I serve individuals with a broad range of mental health needs from life and vocational coaching to depression, anxiety, and trauma including PTSD. I am from a Christian Conservative upbringing and background, but am happy to treat all who seek my services. My modalities are eclectic with a firm foundation in CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I invite you to consider me and take advantage of a free 15 min phone consultation to see if I would be the best fit for your mental health needs and well being.

I'm currently accepting new referrals, and am eager to help individuals overcome difficult life transitions, anxiety, depression and/or feelings of being 'stuck'. Life can throw curveballs, but with the right tools and support you'll be able to navigate with confidence. I work well helping individuals who have trouble with anxious and worried thinking, have poor self-confidence, or are making their way through changes in life like graduating from college and starting a career, managing rocky relationships, or reframing their newfound freedom after raising a family. Stress is tough, but thankfully finding help doesn't have to be!

I work with women who carry the weight of their negative childhood experiences into their adult lives. These experiences may have manifested into anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a general sense of being stuck or frozen. When ignored or not dealt with, these deep impactful experiences from childhood eat away at us, despite "knowing better" as adults on how to deal our symptoms. The women I work with are looking to find healing from their pasts, to find their voice, and re-discover who they are and where they want to go in life. I hope to support you in this, too.

Hey, are you battling anxiety on a daily basis? Do you find yourself overthinking almost everything? Does your body feel just... exhausted? Do you struggle with feeling worthwhile? Have you tried to work through past traumas before, but didn't get to where you want to be?

There are points in our life where our past traumas or burdens become too heavy, the way forward appears dim, and we lose sight what we desire to achieve. I recognize the courage it takes to participate in therapy and strive to create a transparent, non-judgmental relationship. Taking a client centered approach; you the client will always be the center of treatment and treated as a unique individual. I will take time to get to know you and tailor my approach to what best fits your needs & unique personality.

On-line sessions only. No in person session available...Most likely, it took a lot of courage for you to arrive here. It requires bravery to open up to someone and be vulnerable. To say, “I need help,” is a tremendously vulnerable act. It might be hard to trust people or to risk opening up about your struggles. I get it. I'm here to make that process as seamless as possible. The more each of us reaches out for help, the more we normalize helping each other. I aim to create an atmosphere where you can be open about all your life experiences without judgment.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 28 years. My experience allows me to work in deeper ways that help my clients to make meaningful and often dramatic changes in the way that they feel about themselves. These internal changes often lead to exciting and fulfilling external changes (i.e. relationships, increased meaningfulness in one's life, aliveness). When clients have feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or lack of connection - I work with them in ways that help them to uncover and heal the parts of themselves that may have them stuck. My clients often report that our work is unlike previous therapy.

If I am given the privilege of working with you I will spend time getting to know you , your fears, your goals, and the behaviors that you are troubled by. We will work together to set goals and utilize CBT to help you become mindful of your thoughts, behaviors and emotions so that over time you will be able to find the path you are looking for and come to the decision that you no longer need my help. My work with you will always be solution and goal focused and we will keep track of your success as we work.

Are you tired of feeling burned out, disconnected, and overwhelmed? You want to feel authentic in yourself and life with more ease and less emotional turmoil. You're ready to feel connected in your relationships and fulfilled by work, family, and life. Women often lack support, resulting in hyper functionality and dependence on unhealthy coping skills or relationships. As matriarch of Illuminate Counseling group, I have gathered a collective of expert therapists trained in mind-body and relational strategies to help you resolve stuck places and connect to the deep wisdom and joy necessary to navigate life, work and relationships.

Do you feel overwhelmed or are you having difficulty focusing? Are you less motivated at work or losing interest in activities that you found enjoyable? Distraction on the job, insomnia or sleeping too much, or withdrawing from family are signs that you may need help managing anxiety and stress. In therapy, you can expect to build coping skills that can help you feel calmer and more in control of your emotions. We will provide tools to help you enjoy and succeed as a professional, as a parent, and in your relationships. Parenting, marriage, career success, and balancing them are all hard. I am looking forward to helping!

I help a lot of folks who are going through a change and want help adjusting to their new reality. Others want to make a change, but old habits and patterns, like streaming a series online or playing a game on your phone, are getting in the way of their goals. Let's find out what those barriers are and help you build a purposeful and fulfilling life. I’m taking new clients for teletherapy appointments and have availability in the mornings (between 6 AM - 1 PM). I accept most insurance policies and self-pay, but unfortunately, I cannot accept anyone covered by MT Medicaid.

Are you a mom who feels stressed out, overwhelmed, and at your wit's end? As a mom, it's easy to feel like you're not doing enough or that you're not good enough. Maybe you're struggling to balance everything and you're feeling defeated. I'm here to help. I'm a clinical therapist, a life coach, and a mom of six. I know firsthand what it's like to feel lost under the mom-hat. I can help you overcome the barriers that are keeping you from finding yourself and embracing confidence and optimal mental health. If you're ready to feel better, contact me and let's get started.

I am trained as a grief counselor and also in EMDR. I also work with couples as an EFT therapist and have a strong belief that relationship is at the center of our well-being; whether it's our relationship with others or with ourselves and am versed in Internal Family Systems Therapy. I also belong to team of practitioners who meet weekly to consider the needs of our clients. We offer an excellent and holistic approach for your care.

Would you like to be really listened to, with powerful empathy and compassion? I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents. I provide individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, and self-esteem a safe place to slow down, get to know, and learn how to care for your deepest self. I can help you learn to relate to difficult emotions and aspects of yourself in ways that support your growth toward the most relaxed, self-accepting, joyful you. I am gender affirming and sex and body positive.

I love helping people of all ages through therapy. Whether it's kids dealing with tough situations, teens figuring out who they are, or adults facing personal challenges, I'm here to support you at every stage of life. Everyone brings something special to our sessions, making our time together unique and personal.
