Therapists in Hamilton, MT
Hamilton, Montana began because of the efforts of one man, Marcus Daly, who financed the right-of-way for the railroad. The Ravalli County Museum recounts the history, natural resources, and part of the Hamilton area. Hamilton is in the southwest of Montana in the Bitterroot Valley. It is a favorite destination for those who love the outdoors and nature. The area was once home to the Bitterroot Salish Indian Tribe. In 1805, Lewis and Clark led their expedition through the valley on their way to the Pacific. Calamity Jane lived in Hamilton for a while and it was the site of the movie “A River Runs Through It”, which showcases the natural beauty of the valley.
With the pressures of living and working in today’s society, stress and anxiety is often inevitable. Consider turning to a licensed counselor in the Hamilton area to help you understand how to handle the situations you find difficult. With their help, you can find the strength to make decisions that are right for you and/or your family.

One of my favorite mentors/authors/ counselors is quoted to say "owning our story, and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do." Brene Brown. I firmly believe in this quote and work to apply this to my personal life. Learning to be brave and loving ourselves on the journey we are on brings freedom from the multitude of stress life throws our way. My counseling approach focuses on finding those moments of courage and vulnerability to tackle life's struggles. I find that when clients can explore their values and strengths and pursue their goals and dreams they find the most success and peace in life. My counseling approach utilizes ACT, Solution Focused, CBT and Narrative Counseling Theories. I have ten years of professional experience working as a counselor. I have extensive knowledge working with addictions, as well and depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress management. In addition I have strength in addressing grief and loss as well as career issues. I have a Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Master degree in Mental Health Counseling.

I am committed to providing a safe, supportive and non judgmental space for clients to explore what is causing distress or pain, what may be impeding life satisfaction, as well as ways to improve relationships, build self awareness, and enhance coping skills to navigate life challenges moving forward.
