There's something you are seeking to understand and discover. Though you may not know exactly what that is at this time, the need and desire to search is there. Something is compelling you to begin the quest of transmutating the old and leaden parts of yourself into a more insightful and refined whole. What is important is that you have decided to begin the quest of understanding your past and present, and determining your future. I can join you on this quest. I have a broad experience across t...
(Accepting new clients). Sometimes we reach a point in our lives that feels so challenging, we aren’t sure how to move forward. Maybe you are grieving the loss of a loved one, working through a stressful transition, or struggling to connect in relationships. Maybe you can't point to anything specific that's happening in your life, but you've realized that just getting through the day feels like a challenge. Finding your way here is the first step to creating something different for yourself. ...
The Eating Disorder Center of Montana (EDCMT) was founded in 2013 to meet a community and regional need for specialized treatment for food and body disorders. Eating disorders are serious and common mental illnesses, yet access to care is often limited. Our founders saw this gap in care in southwest Montana and began building EDCMT to meet the need AND to create the kind of healing, approachable environment that would truly give all patients the best chance at lifelong recovery. There is no o...

Or maybe you want to feel accepted by others, but find yourself worried about their judgments or catch yourself thinking critically of yourself? If so, great awareness! No...

Hello! I am a depth-oriented psychotherapist, which means in our work together we will explore more than just your current thoughts. We will dig deeper and bring forth repressed content and parts of the self that have been rejected or ignored. This treatment is best for clients with anxiety, trauma, and/or depression. Interventions I commonly use include active imagination, dream work, and amplifying symptoms. I also have training in OCD and anxiety, and absolutely love seeing clients move from ...
We are all a product of our stories— the good, the bad, and everything between. Many times, we aren’t aware of how rooted we are in past beliefs and relationship narratives or how deeply they’ve impacted our current choices and decisions. Therapy allows us to uncover the different sides of ourselves, to unlearn unhelpful beliefs and to emphasize positive ones. Together, we can create a collaborative environment that will help you gain a greater sense of self-awareness and self-esteem. I speciali...
It’s cliche but true that life is a journey. One in which we can hopefully take our time to explore different paths, feel connected in relationships, and find balance in the everyday. Yet just like wandering in our natural world, this journey can be full of twists and turns, brambles, steep ascents, and slippery descents. At times, you may feel alone, stuck, exhausted, or simply too overwhelmed to want to keep moving. In these situations, therapy can help. In particular, I view therapy as a ...

Together we will identify how your life experiences have brought you to this point and with this increased awareness give you tools that in turn will help reduce distress, create better ways of coping, and promote healing that allows for greater sense of enjoyment, perspective and balance and in your life overall....
You may live with an inner critic that is constantly pointing out your insecurities and shortcomings. This persistent negative self-talk and self-judgement may cause you to feel shame and doubt about yourself and lead you, at times, to either avoid situations and people, or push yourself too hard to prove your personal worth. Sitting with someone and sharing your innermost thoughts and insecurities isn't always easy and takes vulnerability and courage. Yet, when you give voice to these negative ...
My approach to therapy is simple. I believe that all people are capable of change. Clients benefit from my empowerment approach to therapy as they navigate a healing process of their own choosing. Clients tell me they appreciate my ability to “tell it like it is” in a kind and gentle way.

Therapy should be a welcoming place where you feel safe, accepted, and understood. So many people hesitate to reach out for help because they fear they’ll have a bad experience, or have tried therapy in the past, only to feel it didn’t work. While the type of treatment is important, it really comes down to the connection you share with your therapist. That’s why I start with an open, non-judgmental space where we can get to know each other. If it’s a good match, we can begin your unique healing ...
