As an experienced psychotherapist and EMDR specialist serving Bozeman and the greater Gallatin Valley—including Big Sky, Livingston, Belgrade, and remote corners of Montana—I provide non-judgmental, compassionate, and highly skilled therapy for individuals and couples who want more than a one-size-fits-all approach. My practice blends evidence-based and somatic modalities—EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, CBT, and mindfulness-informed neuroscience—to deliver truly integrative care. Whether you are a high-performing professional balancing a fast-growing tech career in downtown Bozeman, a rancher coping with multigenerational stressors, or a Big Sky adventure athlete confronting hidden trauma beneath peak performance, sessions are tailored to honor the rhythm of your life and the spirit of the land.

Montana’s vast landscapes inspire a therapy experience that is both grounding and expansive. Within the calm of my Bozeman office—or via secure telehealth anywhere in the state—you can safely explore anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, or unresolved trauma. Here, therapy is not merely problem-solving; it is an invitation to reconnect with your inner compass, build somatic resilience, and cultivate a mindset that thrives amid mountain winters and summer wildfire smoke alike. Many clients choose walk-and-talk sessions on local trails, integrate breathwork at the banks of the Gallatin, or pair EMDR with nature-based resourcing to deepen nervous-system regulation. This mind-body synergy accelerates healing and supports sustainable change long after you leave the therapy room.

Clients often arrive in crisis—navigating divorce in Big Sky’s resort community, struggling with postpartum mood shifts while juggling a Bozeman start-up, or feeling untethered after an avalanche near Bridger Bowl. Through focused, trauma-informed work, you gain practical tools to reduce intrusive memories, tame chronic stress, and re-establish secure attachment, whether with your partner, your children, or yourself. Couples counseling addresses communication breakdowns intensified by demanding travel schedules or the seasonal rhythms of tourism. Individual therapy supports you in disentangling from perfectionism, substance dependence, or the quiet burnout that can thrive behind curated Instagram feeds and powder-day heroics.

Accessible statewide teletherapy ensures no Montanan is out of reach—whether you live along the Madison River or spend winters guiding heli-ski clients on Lone Peak. All sessions meet HIPAA standards, and many private insurance plans reimburse out-of-network care. Take the next step toward emotional vitality, stronger relationships, and a life aligned with Montana’s wide-open promise. Reach out today to schedule an appointment and experience why discerning clients trust this Bozeman-based practice for expert trauma therapy, integrative counseling, and premier online psychotherapy across Big Sky Country.

EMDR Therapy In Bozeman Montana

How does EMDR Therapy Work?

Research shows that traumatic memories are stored in the brain differently from other memories. During a traumatic event, the body’s fight-or-flight response kicks in, prioritizing immediate survival over processing the experience. This disrupts the brain’s natural information processing system, causing the trauma to be stored in a fragmented, disjointed way. As a result, painful emotions, sensations, thoughts, and images associated with the trauma may remain locked in the nervous system, reemerging as symptoms in the present. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy works by altering how the brain processes and stores these traumatic memories, reducing the distressing symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, emotional pain, and physical sensations tied to past experiences. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, EMDR helps reprocess these memories, allowing the brain to store them in a more adaptive, integrated way, ultimately leading to relief and healing.

Many of our clients have spent years in traditional talk therapy or CBT, making progress but still feeling stuck. They often describe EMDR as the breakthrough they’ve been searching for—finally providing the results needed to heal deeply and move forward. It’s one of my favorite modalities because it works. Often, clients are encouraged by family, friends, or other therapists to try EMDR when they’ve reached a point of frustration with other approaches. They feel like EMDR is their last hope to resolve lingering symptoms, and in my experience, it has been incredibly effective. We’ve had great success using EMDR both as a standalone treatment and as an integration with traditional talk therapy. When combined with other therapies like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR can supercharge healing, offering clients the comprehensive, lasting relief they’ve been searching for.

What follows are some symptoms that EMDR in Bozeman can resolve:

• Anxiety, fear, panic, worry

• Phobias

• Sadness and unresolved grief

• Dissociation and trauma resolution

• PTSD

• Recovering from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse

• Feeling “stuck”

• Feeling unworthy, undeserving, or unlovable

• Survivor of bullying

• Guilt and shame

• Traumatic medical experiences

• Traumatic accidents

• Terrifying memories

• Attachment wounds

• Self-defeating patterns or self-sabotage

• Addictions to substance or process addictions

• Creative blocks and performance problems 

Through EMDR therapy, we will use the counseling relationship as a safe place to access painful traumatic memories that are stored deep within the brain’s neural pathways. After bringing these memories to the surface, we use bilateral brain stimulation techniques such as light tapping or eye movement to reprocess the painful memories. The goal is that these memories are no longer negatively “charged” for you and do not cause activation in the nervous system. Suffering is greatly decreased by using EMDR therapy.
