Therapists in Belgrade, MT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor and mental health administrator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, serious mental illness, stress management, grief and loss, care-giving stress, dealing with a major medical diagnosis and life transitions. I have given many presentations nationally on coping with cancer as a young adult, grief and loss and caregiver burnout. My counseling approach is dynamic and interactive. I approach areas of concerns with a strengths based approach in order to help clients identify their goals and find ways within themselves to deal with difficult emotions. I feel that we all have the ability within us to become the best version of ourselves, and that sometimes we need an outside perspective to help us achieve those goals. I use primarily cognitive behavior therapy with an emphasis on developing a positive counselor - client relationship. I also will utilize mindfulness skills and other resources individualized to build up coping skills and achieve your goals. In my free time I like to camp and hike with my family in Montana and all over the Pacific Northwest. I look forward to speaking with you and determining how I can help you achieve your goals and cope with difficult emotions.

Welcome! My passion lies in helping people find their authentic selves and to improve their overall well-being. I work with individuals suffering from depression/mood disorders, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma/abuse (physical, verbal, sexual, and neglect) PTSD, addiction and substance use, self-harming, suicidal ideations, stress, eating disorders, relationship-issues, and grief. I am a national board-certified counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor in Montana. My education includes a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in addiction from Walden University. My primary therapy orientation is person-centered, as a therapist should not tell you what to do or try to direct your life. Think of the proverb: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for life." I will help you learn to solve your own problems, rather than solving them for you. I incorporate some holistic psychotherapy, which fosters wellness by integrating complementary and alternative treatment methods such as, yoga, breathwork, essential oils, and meditation alongside traditional psychotherapy approaches. It has roots in traditional and ancient medicine, as well as non-traditional therapeutic approaches, including energy and spiritual healing. I also use theory and techniques from CBT/TFCBT, DBT, Existential Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy among other modalities. Additionally, I am certified in providing Telehealth Therapy (THTC). I look forward to helping you in your journey toward wellness! My practice hours are 9am-2pm (MST) Monday-Thursday. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. If you are thinking about suicide or if you are considering harming yourself or others or if you feel that any other person may be in any danger or if you have any medical emergency, you should immediately call the emergency service number (911 in the US and 999 in the UK) and notify the relevant authorities. Seek immediate in-person assistance. This platform is not designed for use in crisis situations and the counselors cannot provide the assistance required in any of the aforementioned cases. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away, or call, text, or chat 988, to be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. UK-Non-emergency: 111, Option 2 24/7 Helpline: 116 Shout: Text "DESERVE" TO 85258 If you are in a situation involving domestic violence or relationship abuse: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233). Call the hotline for crisis intervention and referrals to resources, such as women's shelters. You can also see the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence website at https://ncadv.org/resources to find programs that offer shelter and legal support. Relationship abuse is about one partner having power & control over the other. This can look like physical violence, controlling who someone can talk to, or even what they wear. Understanding the dynamic of power & control can help you ID abuse.

Sometimes our experiences in life have a way of causing us to believe that we are less than who we are - less good, less lovable, and less safe. Trauma and grief - especially disenfranchised grief - can cause us to disconnect from our lives, the people we love, and our overall sense of belonging, causing us to feel unsettled, anxious, and lost. My strength-based, trauma-informed approach draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and internal family systems to support self-exploration, understanding, and personal growth. My role in counseling involves acknowledging clients' own wisdom through supportive, empathetic connection, and creating a safe space for every person to explore their identity, define their goals and values, and change their lives. I am honored to work with teens, adults, and elders of every background, orientation, religion, and belief system. I will create and hold a confidential, non-judgmental space for us to explore your true self and engage in personal progress. You can expect authenticity, compassion, genuine interest, and acceptance from me, and together we will look at and assign language to your life experiences while discovering and building upon your innate strengths and abilities. Whether you're looking to change negative thinking habits, self-esteem, behavioral patterns, or relationships, I am here to provide affirmative care to help you leverage your strengths into your greatest growth.
