Restorative Connections Counseling
Trauma-Informed, Identity Affirming Therapy
MOVING FROM BILLINGS HEIGHTS TO DOWNTOWN IN NOVEMBER 2023!
Welcome!
Seeking out therapy is hard; congratulations for making it this far!
I provide therapy for adults and highly motivated teens, primarily through EMDR. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, identity exploration and acceptance, and LGBT+ issues. I enjoy helping clients work through childhood trauma and/or ongoing traumatic stress especially with power-based violence, cancer diagnosis, cult survivorship, religious trauma, accidents, natural disasters, and C-PTSD. Your experience in therapy will be unique based on your goals, strengths, needs and comfort level. Together, we will uncover your next steps to living a more balanced, authentic and fulfilling daily life.
Everything that you are doing now is for a reason. As we go through difficult, traumatic and even just new experiences, we respond in the best way we know how. If we survived it, we keep doing whatever it was that 'worked'. What worked before doesn't always continue serving us as circumstances change, and sometimes it wasn't ever the best solution in the first place. Luckily, we can learn to identify our triggers and survival responses to them, replacing them with healthier ways of coping/thinking/relating/communicating.
Alongside our brain's ability to change, we need that authentic support system to continue growing and finding meaning. Connection and acceptance is vital to survive and thrive. All this in mind, I intend to help you connect with yourself , create mutually-growth-fostering relationships and increase awareness and confidence in our sessions - that will translate to your everyday life.
