Learn About My Methods
Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? That is the feeling I know we are all capable of achieving regardless of circumstances with the right tools and supports on our side, and that is why I have been working in the helping field for more than nine years.
Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional mental health provider can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances and live your best life.
Since graduating in 2016 with my Master's Degree in Social Work, I have worked with individuals to help them gain the skills and tools they need to be successful and overcome life's difficult challenges as a Therapist in Missoula, Montana. I draw from a wide range of best-practices and theories in order to tailor our work to each client. Some of the theories and modalities I have experience, education, and training in and utilize most in practice include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma, Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy, and Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
