If you're looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through challenges and heal from trauma, you're in the right place. During the last 10+ years of providing therapy in Missoula I have worked with adults, children and families. I'm passionate about helping clients process their current or past struggles. I have helped birth, foster and adoptive families who are parenting children with diverse needs or challenging behaviors. I offer support to caregivers who would like to work through their personal struggles, as well as assistance to those who want to add strategies to their parenting toolbox.

Do you ever feel like you're reliving the same day over and over again, like in the movie Groundhog Day? Even though you want to change and move forward, and you have the talent and know-how, everything you try just doesn't seem to work. If you have ADHD, this may sound familiar. Many people with ADHD feel like they're stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk that holds them back. It can be tough to break free from this cycle, and it can lead to some pretty negative feelings like self-doubt, shame, apathy, and even despair. But there is hope! With proper guidance and support, you can overcome these challenges and move forward.

My commitment to social justice work is rooted in compassion, empathy, and raising awareness so that we can all celebrate our similarities and differences. My practice model is hope-filled and research-informed, focusing on attachment, strengths-based, and trauma-informed frameworks. Therapy is about building a safe space, radical acceptance, courageous self-assessment, and shared humanity. This process unearths strength, courage, and insight, highlighting that the client is truly the expert over their own life. A supportive, non-judgmental, and curious relationship is the key to good therapy.

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.

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 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.

I believe that psychotherapy is an active process resulting in clarity and change. It can help identify ineffective patterns of thinking and behavior, which may create stress, emotional problems, stress related medical problems, addiction problems, and/or relationship problems. Sometimes the work can be difficult but can also be profoundly rewarding and life changing. I believe in the power of positive change and would love to help you turn your stress into a life balance.

Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.
