Being human is hard. You try to do your best, but it seems you can’t make the progress you want. You might feel stuck or hopeless. Negative thoughts and difficult emotions can be overwhelming and they can steal your joy and motivation. Whether you are experiencing loss, relationship struggles, excessive worry, or despair, the pain can be immobilizing. But it's entirely true that wellness and growth are possible for you. Together, we can help you unhook from negative thoughts and connect with what is meaningful to you.

As people, we often build walls or layers of stone as a protection to life's sometimes rocky terrain. In therapy, I offer safety, compassion, empathy, and deep listening in an almost sacred way for softening to occur and healing to begin. It is an honor to witness this process. You may be feeling stuck, wanting more peace and joy, or desiring clarity, meaning and purpose in your life. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, know you are not alone. People have an inner capacity for well being. Therapy simply helps to unfold this.

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 believe that every body has the potential for growth and change. As a dual-licensed, Somatic Family Therapist I bring 18 years of experience assisting individuals, couples and families finding long-term healing and change. My clients most often are looking for something different than traditional talk therapy. They are struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety and depression that are having a negative impact on their relationship with themselves and those they love. I hold advanced training in supporting women and their families who have experienced trauma, grief and loss in the perinatal period.

My favorite approach to therapy utilizes Attachment Theory. My practice has been weighted toward older adolescents and adults experiencing problems in living through trauma, addictions, suicidal ideation, relational problems, adjustment disorders, and mood and anxiety disorders. I also work with parents of young children. I have trained in Circle of Security, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and I'm well versed in Missoula's systems of social welfare.

As we all know, life is full of changes. I believe that these changes, and times of transition, can be both difficult and wonderful. Opportunities await for those who are receptive to support, open to possibilities, and willing to engage with the process.

Sometimes our life experiences have a way of causing an altered view of ourselves and the world around us. Trauma and grief can also cause us to disconnect from our lives and the people we love, leaving us feeling unsettled, anxious, and lost. My approach to counseling involves creating a safe space for my clients that supports self-exploration, understanding, and personal growth. My strength-based, trauma-informed practice draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, and internal family systems. Together, we can define your goals and values, and explore who you truly are.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed counselor who believes in the power of human connection. In systems and cultures that often tell you to handle your difficulties independently and quietly, it can be difficult to seek help. As a fellow neurodivergent being, I particularly enjoy working with folks who are neurodivergent or think they may be from a strength-based framework. I also have a passion for working with survivors of trauma and collaborating to re-establish a sense of safety and trust.

Psychotherapy can be hard. At times, therapy can involve discussing aspects of your history that can feel uncomfortable. Sometimes this process can induce temporary feelings like grief, anger, or anxiety. My goal for our therapeutic relationship is to stay engaged in understanding and moving through your "stuff" in order for you to have good problem solving and good relationships. Your progress through these issues is not a race. We will work together to find the most effective way to improve the quality of your life with the least amount of disruption and distress.

I believe we are all doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes what we have is deep pain, buried (or very alive) trauma, and a sense that we are failing. What gets forgotten is all the strength that has gotten us as far as we are! In my work with clients, we work to discover what is driving the choices we make and intentionally discover healing and strength. We empower through choice, acceptance, and self-compassion. I believe when we transform what we have, we move to something better. My primary experience is working with trauma, survivors of domestic violence, assault, and childhood abuse.
