Female Therapists in Riverfront, Missoula, MT

I believe we all have the capacity to heal. If you chose to work with me, I will offer you a non-judgmental space where you can heal and grow. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have a holistic approach to psychotherapy. I offer psychotherapy with adults, teenagers and children. I also offer therapy for parents who want to improve their relationship with their children. I offer therapy for a variety of issues and concerns, including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, attachment difficulties, grief, difficult decision making, isolation, relationship distress and foster care/ adoption, fertility issues and pregnancy loss.

Do you yearn to feel a sense of peace and flow in your life? Has your life instead been draining your energy, leaving you anxious or depressed? Our lives often become wrapped up in cultural/family expectations, fears, compulsions, and past traumas. These can obscure our true desires and hinder us from living a soulful, creative life. In our work together, you have a space to process your past and release patterns and behaviors that have disrupted your natural flow. What if we could imagine new ways for you to move through life? Let's get curious and find ways for you to feel renewed, grounded, and more at ease in yourself.

In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize building strong and compassionate relationships with each of my clients. I work with adults, teens, and couples across their lifespan on topics of present distress to prolonged hardship. My clinical experience includes working with individuals on issues and experiences surrounding depression, grief and loss, sexuality and gender, family and intimate relationships, religious trauma, and anxiety. I am currently in speciality trainings for Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. My approach incorporates Attachment & Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Part of being human means that most of us will inevitably struggle at some point in our lives. It is common to seek support and guidance to help navigate through difficult times. Finding a therapist who feels like "the right fit" can be challenging, as it is important to find someone you trust and who is knowledgeable about what has prompted you to seek help. My treatment approach is grounded in compassionately understanding client's unique life history and experiences. I highly value authenticity and flexibility; and my goal is to build a collaborative relationship so that we can tailor therapy to address your needs.

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.

There are many barriers that prevent us from moving forward in life and therapy can help to overcome them. Over the last 15+ years, I have worked with individuals with a variety of struggles. I find that there is a strong connection between the expression of emotions and how healthy our relationships are. With a firm grasp of the research behind effective treatments, I balance compassion with strategies for creating lasting change. We will work collaboratively to create a plan for your individual needs. Therapy will focuses on actions, thoughts and feelings and when we may need to accept or change them.

I'm an attachment therapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families thrive through bettering their relationships.

Every individual comes to counseling with a different life story and how that story impacts them. Some people will come to therapy with a starting point in mind, and others may need guidance to know where to even begin. Our relationship can begin in either place; my goal is to support you in finding healing and experiencing growth wherever you are in your journey. I believe that everyone deserves personalized support when it comes to managing their mental health. As a biracial counselor, I understand the unique challenges you may be facing and work with you to develop a personalized plan.

Hello and Welcome! Thank you for visiting my profile, I am so glad you are here! I work from a strength-based, person-centered approach as I believe every individual has the strength and resiliency within for growth, healing, and change. I offer a compassionate, warm, and supportive space where you will feel heard and validated. I strive to create an empowering environment where we will collaboratively establish ongoing, flexible goals to make sessions most effective. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, self-esteem/self-acceptance challenges and more!

We all deserve to feel aligned, safe and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self-awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we feel healthy and fulfilled we are more likely to live with meaning. I utilize an integrative lens, centered in mindfulness, somatic, attachment and IFS orientations to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, feelings, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. Our work together involves expanding awareness of the inner mind, and felt senses to move towards a more integrated self. I am tele health only at this time. Serving Oregon and Montana.

The most important goal I have as a therapist is to offer a space for you to be listened to and feel safe and supported. From this place of comfort, we can begin therapy and move through therapeutic processes, and create goals to work on in our time together. Whether you would like to just talk and share your thoughts, or create specific goals such as anxiety reduction, increasing positive thought patterns and behaviors, improving overall wellness, or identifying specific wellness areas you would like to improve on, this time together is for you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Montana who has been in the Missoula area for over a decade. I specialize in issues pertaining to LGBTQI+ matters, anxiety and depression, grief and loss. I also serve couples of all genders/sexual orientations, and am sex positive, kink and consensually non-monogomous affirming. Please see my website for more details on my approach to couples work. I approach therapeutic work individually with each unique client, but tend to focus on a dual perspectives model and working through our struggles while attending to other life matters. I currently am accepting clients aged 16 and up.

Welcome to my practice! I take a positive, respectful, growth-oriented approach to therapy. I believe we each have intrinsic resources for healing and connection, and an innate striving for vitality, balance, wholeness, and personal maturity. Working in a variety of community-based settings, I have come to appreciate the power of human resiliency, the importance of naming and claiming our stories, and the transformative quality of suffering. I view my role as a therapist as witness to your unique story, and companion to your growth as we wrestle with the often complex questions life brings.

< Currently not taking new clients > At certain times we all need help facing difficult experiences that may disrupt our understanding of who we are and how to find our way forward. I offer an accepting and nonjudgemental approach that is integrative, down to earth, and person centered. Our work together will help you harness your inner resources and develop helpful skills to heal and address patterns to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
