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.
