Psychologist in Bozeman, Montana
Integrative Psychotherapy & Mind-Body Therapy
As a licensed psychologist in Montana, I provide psychotherapy for adults in Bozeman, Big Sky, and surrounding Gallatin Valley communities. I offer both in-person sessions in Bozeman and secure online therapy for clients throughout Montana.
My practice is suited for individuals seeking depth-oriented, integrative care that addresses anxiety, trauma, burnout, chronic stress, and mind–body concerns.
Psychotherapy in Bozeman for Anxiety, Trauma & Burnout
Bozeman attracts high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, educators, and individuals navigating major life transitions. With rapid regional growth and increasing professional demands, many clients seek therapy for:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Burnout and role overload
Depression and emotional disconnection
Trauma and attachment wounds
Grief and life transitions
Chronic pain and stress-related illness
Existential and identity concerns
My approach integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic (mind–body) therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and attachment-informed treatment. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we work to understand and shift the underlying emotional and physiological patterns contributing to distress.
Mind–Body Therapy in Bozeman
Stress, trauma, and relational history often affect the nervous system and body. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I incorporate somatic approaches such as:
Focusing and Hakomi
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) principles
Interpersonal neurobiology
Breath and nervous system regulation practices
This work supports emotional integration, resilience, and improved stress regulation.
Therapy for Professionals & High-Responsibility Roles
Bozeman and Big Sky are home to physicians, outdoor industry leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, and remote professionals balancing high performance with demanding lifestyles.
I work with clients navigating:
Leadership stress
Perfectionism and decision fatigue
Healthcare burnout
Identity shifts following relocation
Balancing ambition with wellbeing
Psychotherapy offers space to recalibrate and restore internal steadiness.
