What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.

my STORY
Welcome to Blue Mountain Counseling and Psychotherapy
Mountains are a representation of strength and power, containing unknown terrains, undiscovered paths, and a vastness so great that parts go untouched, similar to the experience of being human. Nature and mountains in particular have always been a place of quiet reconciliation and peace for me. When life felt uneven, solid ground could not be found, or pain was overwhelming, to the mountains I would go and still do. Hence, the name Blue Mountain.
Like undiscovered parts of earth, we too are often living in a space where we don’t fully understand ourselves or our experiences. I hope to provide you with the support you may need to move through your challenges. I offer telehealth therapy for all of Montana and offer individual sessions for in-person therapy in Butte, Montana.
This being human is difficult at times and part of the human condition is experiencing pain. When we don’t allow ourselves to move through our pain we can develop poor coping skills and or mental health challenges. My hope is to move with you through your challenges and develop a strong therapeutic relationship without judgment and with empathy, trust, compassion, and unconditional positive regard in order to assist in the development of the appropriate therapeutic tools and skills so you feel hope, comfort, and accomplishment and as well as an overall reduction in whatever symptoms you may be experiencing so you can move through life with joy and presence. I believe in the power of therapy and through my own therapeutic journey with my therapist, teaching elementary school, and obtaining my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have never felt so confident in the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approach
I am a certified mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapist who specializes in anxiety, OCD, and related disorders like phobias and panic disorder. I also have completed a 50 hour EMDR training through the Maiburger Institute and have training in internal family systems, and trauma. I work with you, the client, to educate and incorporate mindful CBT as well as exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), and person-centered approaches to assist in the reduction of symptoms. I use an approach that allows the client to choose what they are willing to do. In addition, sessions are sprinkled with self-love, self-kindness and self-compassion. I invite anyone who is in search of mental health support to reach out including those who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community, young adults, adults, and willing teens. However, I don’t have any availability after school hours.
No one is exempt from suffering, it’s part of the human condition. My hope is to offer skills and techniques to assist clients in being present through each moment in life, the trauma, the suffering, and the happiness and joy.
Born and raised in Montana, I love all things nature has to offer including hiking, biking, skiing, playing in the river, hunting, and fishing. I have three beautiful young children, an awesome husband, and an adorable golden retriever. I’m a mom, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a wife, and I too struggle with my mental health.
