Therapists in Bozeman, MT

I am a licensed addiction counselor located in Bozeman, Montana, working primarily with adults who are struggling with substance use or behavioral addictions. Whether you are mandated to treatment because of a DUI conviction or just curious about re-evaluating your habits and relationship with alcohol or drugs, I offer guidance and support as you develop healthy coping strategies and begin to feel more empowered in your choices.

Hello & Welcome. My journey and decision to become a counselor began with my own and loved one's challenging personal life experiences. These challenges led me to completing a program to become a Licensed Addiction Counselor and finally expanding my studies by completing a Master of Clinical Social Work degree, with an undergraduate minor degree in Native American Studies. Social work is important to me because of its holistic view, which considers how major life factors (health, relationships, psychology, culture, socioeconomic status and environment) impact a person's sense of self and wellbeing.

Positive, constant, change is at the heart of the therapeutic experience, taking small steps that add up to larger changes. I've worked in mental health for over a decade and have been a licensed therapist for over 8 years. In that time I've really come to understand how hard life can be on a day-to-day basis, much more so when you are struggling.

Whatever brings you here today, you deserve to be heard, you know you best! I will meet you where you are at & together we will understand what it is you want/need, navigate transitions or help you through difficult times. I’m honored to work with you & help you through your journey. I work with individuals, parents and moms. It is not easy to let in a new person who you can trust will have your best interest. I will offer a safe empathetic place with no judgment & unconditional support. Where you can talk about your struggles and difficulties.

Throughout life we are faced with obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and defeated. At times we may even feel so alone, depressed or hopeless that we begin to think that suicide may be our only option. If this sounds like you--you are not alone! I have helped many clients to manage and overcome these issues, while feeling more empowered and in control of their lives. I understand how hard it is to seek out help. I am here to support you in your journey to change, healing and living a more fulfilling life.

My aim as your counselor is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard & validated. I help my clients identify their unique needs & seek to empower them with tools that work for them to address those needs. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from children to older adults, and have special experience working with older adults (60+), as well as experience as an advocate for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault, & stalking. I also offer sessions via video calls through a secure provider. I'm passionate about helping my clients tap into their own strengths & resources, and access greater wellness!

I am passionate about working with individuals who are suffering in a variety of ways--past trauma, addiction, life circumstances changing, adults who are struggling to find their place in the world, and ready to stop repeating the same old patterns which bring them back to the same old place. Being human is traumatic enough in and of itself. Pile on some childhood trauma, life circumstances changing beyond your control, and day-to-day stress, and you might find yourself struggling. I'm here to help you stop the pain from turning into ongoing suffering.

I work with people who have current and/or a history of substance misuse. I am passionate about creating a safe space for everyone to discover their authentic selves and work towards their goals. I enjoy helping people struggling with addiction develop adaptive coping skills to manage stress, increase self-esteem, improve relationships decrease or eliminate alcohol or drug use and enhance overall quality of life.

I believe in meeting people where they are at and through safe and non-judgmental guidance exploring past and current struggles to allow for a happier and healthier future. I believe that people innately have what they need inside them and with the proper tools they can pull the strengths and resilience that they have out to lead a life that they strive to live. Together we will work to explore the impact that our past has had on our present and modify maladaptive and unhealthy patterns to move towards a future that has a more sustainable outcome.

I am first, a client-centered therapist. I believe therapy should be about the client and be met with unconditional positive regard. There is no place for judgment in therapy, and I am here to help you process and make your own decisions, not to tell you what to do.

My therapeutic approach emphasizes a focus on subconscious motives & creativity forms of expression. I am Depth Psychologist with a PhD in Community, Liberation, and Eco psychology and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. I do not believe in fixing people, but instead in helping them explore the reasons symptoms and behaviors are coming forward, then working toward building stronger coping skills and resiliency. Evidence for the efficacy of depth psychological approaches to psychotherapy is growing as studies show that depth psychology has a longer-lasting and more profound impact than cognitive or behavioral psychologies alone.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I work closely with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that therapy should be a safe space where clients can feel comfortable exploring difficult topics and emotions. I work to identify strengths and build upon them, while also addressing areas of challenge.
