Somatic Therapists in Bozeman, MT
I have completed my training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have almost completed the certification process.
Therapy is a journey to embrace our authentic selves, no matter our back story. Problems that we struggle with do not form our whole identity and are usually adaptations that were originally protective strategies. My approach combines many different modalities that help with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as problems caused by addiction. I have limited in-person availability, however, I have found that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person counseling in many cases. My telehealth clients also have first priority for booking in person appointments as they become available. Free consultation available.

I use an integrated approach to counseling, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Somatic work.
I work with a variety of life issues, from trauma and grief to depression, anxiety and everyday stressors in between. My hope for our work together is to help my clients develop a deeper sense of knowing and trusting themselves. I strive to provide a space to explore how and where a person may feel stuck in order to move forward with a better sense of awareness and a greater level of compassion. I believe when self-awareness grows, we are able to show up differently in our relationships, desires, and lives. I also believe change is possible when we have a trusting therapist/client relationship to build off.

I have been practicing in community-based settings since 2009 and have completed specialized training in EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness, Advanced Perinatal Mental Health, somatic therapies, CBT-Recovery, and Motivational Interviewing.
Life is a complex journey that can feel overwhelmingly hard to navigate at times. We all show up with our own profound life experiences and when obstacles emerge that seem insurmountable, we need support and guidance for growth, deep personal healing, and connection. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and genuinely value the importance of offering a safe environment to hold space where meaningful change and growth can occur. Therapy is a collaborative process and I recognize the importance of flexibility and adaptability.

With an attuned and often fun presence, I draw on mindfulness, somatic, and nature based therapies to provide a safe, comfortable, collaborative experience.
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, major life changes and/or relationship stress? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt? My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, achieve fulfillment, and to be fully present to life experience.

Combining nature based work with somatic techniques can help release traumas stored in the body.

I have completed the Somatic Experiencing training, a trauma healing modality that integrates the experiences of the body into therapy, thus achieving a more holistic approach to therapy.
When I reflect on what being a therapist means to me, the words that come to me are hope, healing, connection, and wholeness. The entire reason that I am a therapist is to help my clients discover that these do not represent mere words, but signify real experiences. I desire that each person I encounter in my work to experience all that life has to offer. However, I recognize that living in this world is not easy, and there is suffering, loss, trauma, disconnection. These experiences, though incredibly difficult, can also be the impetus and foundation of profound and transformative healing.

My focus involves person-centered therapy with an expertise in somatic experiencing.
My motivation for my work stems from my own process and journey of self-acceptance and love. I focus on meeting people where they are and integrating a mind-body connection to increase internal awareness, processing life events, and recognizing needs for future pathways. Specific areas of focus include working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life adjustments. Healing occurs in the presence of others, making it essential for a supportive relationship. With current Covid restrictions, I utilize the outdoors to meet with individuals.

We'll work together through the power of play, activities, discussion, reflection, modeling, skill development, and body awareness.

For the body: We focus on nervous system regulation utilizing mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.
I work with women who want freedom from what haunts them. Women who are willing and ready to do the work to free themselves from the grip of whatever holds them. Addiction, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, a traumatic event, unhealthy relationships, you name it. Our past experiences coupled with our current modern society deeply affect our ability to find balance within our minds, bodies, and spirits. Healing is about returning to balance in these three areas. What does that look like?

I have been in private practice for 20 years and, in addition to perinatal support, I work with anxiety/depression, eating disorders, attachment issues, relationship transitions, chronic illness and somatic concerns.
I approach therapy from an attachment based orientation. I believe healing happens in the context of relationship. I focus on the awareness of safety to foster secure relationships to address old patterns of coping and survival. I use the innate intelligence of the body to guide the healing process toward health and balance.

My methods are rooted in somatic practices that include grounding exercises, neuroscience, mindfulness and attachment.
The foundation of my practice stems from the belief that every person has an inner capacity for well-being. I believe that when a safe environment is created, people can access their own inner resources and discover their own solutions. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment which allows children and adults to heal and begin the journey of reconnecting to themselves. I see my role in counseling being an empathic, deep listener as you explore and identify your unique values and goals.

The therapeutic tools I use are based in somatic feedback, trauma awareness, attachment, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies.
Often when experiencing grief, anxiety, past or current traumas, major life adjustments and/or relationship stress, one can feel overwhelmed, lost or off balance. Exploring relational styles, physiological/ somatic responses and cognitive coping patterns can offer awareness of oneself to create more ease, empowerment and contentment in the day to day. I provide a safe and non judgmental space with collaboration, tenderness and authenticity so a person can grow and thrive in confidence.

I can help.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
