I am certified as an LCPC in Montana and have over 15 years of experience in the field. I believe that most people want to and have it in them to help themselves. We all just need some support and direction sometimes. I originally got into the mental health world through how we think during sport/activity because I feel it is important to meet people in a venue that works for them whether that’s sport, activity or using an easier to access format. From there I kept going deeper and deeper into what influences our happiness and fulfillment and what makes us feel successful. Along that path I’ve had experience performance coaching, working with youth and those recovering from injury, working with those in crisis, LGBTQ+ folks, weight loss coaching, using biofeedback and physiological aspects to address stress and anxiety, coaching sport, and teaching at both the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels among other things. These experiences have culminated in my style being very open, non judgemental and patient while being equally practical and theoretical. I believe in capitalizing on your strengths. My style is skills based utilizing coping skills/CBT/DBT and mindfulness skills, and am direct when needed. However no two clients and relationships are the same and I utilize aspects from many approaches that fit the situation best. I really respect those working to improve themselves as I believe it can be a life long process. (I know it is for me!) Thanks for taking the time to see if we might be a good fit working together.
