Montana (she/her) is a Licensed Therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Iowa and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, where she cultivated a strong foundation in psychodynamic theory and practice. With a deep respect for the complexities of the human experience, Montana approaches therapy as a collaborative and compassionate process rooted in understanding each individual's unique story.
Montana's therapeutic style is eclectic, allowing her to tailor her approach to the specific needs of each client. Drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities—including psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—she creates a flexible, responsive space for meaningful exploration and growth. This integrative approach supports her clients in building insight, developing practical coping strategies, and fostering long-term emotional resilience.
She has extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorders, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, and identity-based concerns. Whether clients are seeking support for a specific issue or are on a broader journey of self-discovery, Montana is committed to meeting them where they are with empathy and clinical expertise.
At the heart of Montana’s work is the belief that every person carries a unique narrative shaped by life experiences, relationships, and internal dynamics. She strives to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner world, process pain, and reclaim agency in their lives. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, Montana supports her clients in identifying and working toward their personal goals, whether that involves healing from trauma, improving relationships, managing distress, or deepening self-awareness.
