Therapists in Bozeman, MT

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from NC State University. I support clients from all backgrounds in learning their worth, empowering their voices, and strengthening their relationships. I am here to challenge the stigma that feelings equal weakness with the intention of reducing shame in seeking mental health treatment. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQA+ community and practice gender-affirming care with a feminist lens. Throughout my undergraduate degree in social work, I became passionate about advocacy for abused and neglected children and completed an internship with GAL/CASA.

I focus on helping my clients improve their awareness of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Though the development of a strong therapeutic relationship, I aim to help clients celebrate their strengths as well identify and challenge the maladaptive patterns that are keeping them stuck. Together we may explore new ways of labeling and expressing emotion, identify problematic interpersonal patterns, or challenge unhelpful mindsets. My approach emphasizes curiosity, not judgment, around the complex topics that often come up during our work together.

Have you wondered if your partner would be there for you when you really need them? Can you turn toward your relationship, seeing it as a source of comfort and safety? If you have doubts, has something happened; a circumstance, an interaction, an event that changed your view of the relationship and you feel stuck? Perhaps a dynamic has evolved over time that has resulted in more and more distance creating an impasse? Do you still hope that things could be good again?

I believe in people's ability to heal and grow after difficult experiences. However, it can be hard to know where to start, who to trust, or what might be helpful. Maybe you experience depression or anxiety, suffer from the consequences of trauma and chronic pain, or would like to repair and strengthen your romantic relationship. Regardless of your life’s journey and obstacles, treatment can help! As a psychologist with a holistic and integrative approach, I utilize evidence-based treatments (the gold standard), while also incorporating other helpful tools depending on your unique concerns.

People come to therapy to resolve the pain and suffering that confront them. Psychotherapy provides the necessary container to examine, observe, explore, and create meaning for the experiences we have lived through. As a psychodynamic therapist, I help clients explore the root causes of their suffering, uncover unconscious patterns formed during early life, and help them understand how such patterns continue to impact them in their present day lives. Such unearthing of patterns can create ample opportunities for growth and deep transformation. My approach to therapy is warm, curious, compassionate, creative, and practical.

I work with adults of all ages as well as adolescents with a variety of backgrounds and experiences to achieve deep and lasting change and personal growth. Building a trusting relationship is key to my therapeutic work. This allows each client to safely explore their inner world and gain insight into themselves and the world they are connecting with. General goals include healing emotional wounding, returning to wholeness and wisdom, reducing stress and negative emotional symptoms, identifying negative thoughts and beliefs to create healthy attitudes and behaviors.

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.

—Accepting new clients— Counseling provides an opportunity to connect more deeply to the self through exploring emotions, relationships, and experiences. You may be struggling with processing past trauma, grief, or loss - or maybe you're seeking support in navigating a continued experience of depression or anxiety. Regardless of what brings you in, my goal is to support you in your journey of healing and growth through the power of accompaniment. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment that honors you and ensures the work we're doing goes at your pace. Your experience is important.

Does it seem like you fight the same fight with your partner? Can you predict the outcome of arguments based on a repeated pattern? Has there been cheating, family conflict, or other pain points impacting your marriage or relationship? Are you wanting peace in your relationships and can't figure out how to achieve that beyond what you have tried already? I help couples and individuals understand their negative pattern, then create the change they desire.

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. I believe in the importance of our relationships with others and our connection to the natural world and how this connection can be regulating, helping us achieve freedom from shame, depression, and anxiety. Combining nature based work with somatic techniques can help release traumas stored in the body.
