I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients discover how their thoughts affect their behaviors; a Psychodynamic approach to help clients discover how early events in their lives continue to shape their present lives; and an
emotionally focused
approach to couples counseling.
Thoughts are very powerful things. Sometimes we get stuck in negative, self-defeating thought spirals. We might think we're not good enough or that we're somehow undeserving of love, respect, and success. Often these thoughts are so automatic that we simply accept them as true. My goal as a therapist is to help people examine and question their negative self-beliefs. With a more accurate and balanced understanding of our talents, strengths, and value, our lives become fuller as we open up to new possibilities. I'd like to help you on your journey.

I specialize in Couples Therapy and trained with Sue Johnson, creator of
Emotionally Focused
Therapy and John and Julie Gottman, of the Gottman Method, the most effective and widely-researched models.
Combining gentleness, strength, and evidence-based approaches with an intuitive understanding (and a BS barometer when needed) is at the heart of my work. I use inner and outer resources to support people, and a little laughter and irony along the way. Attending to banished voices, lost dreams, inner-child work, saboteurs, and avoidance helps in getting people where they want to go. I'm certified in EMDR, have worked in grief support and inpatient. In addition, applying well-known factors in the neuropsychology of learning optimizes change. In practice, it all comes together using structure, flow, and clinical assessment.

My passion is serving couples, families and women. I have found I have had the most success in supporting women (emphasis on ages 18-30's), and the unique challenges we face. If you are struggling with negative self talk, difficulty putting yourself first aka saying "no" to others, or other difficulties creating anxiety, I'm here to listen & support. My other passion and area of success is serving couples and families (LGBTQIA+ affirming). Taking an
emotionally focused
approach, I will support in finding the emotional root of the issues you see resurfacing, so cycles are put to an end & you feel at ease.

You've always thought of yourself as an artistic, empathic, and intuitive woman. Yet here you are, disconnected from your inner self and the wisdom you know is buried inside. There has to be a purpose to all of this, but the chaos & frantic pace of life is leaving you off-balance. Creativity is a distant dream, relationships are stretched, and your joy is lacking. You long to create a dynamic sense of wholeness, to find your purpose and meaning, but it's a constant struggle. If only the world would stop for a minute. If only you didn't feel everything so deeply. If only you had a moment to re-connect or at least a moment to breathe

I find that during these times people are reevaluating their lives, finding their focus, and reinventing themselves. My practice is a safe, non-judgmental place to express yourself, to identify, and create healthy boundaries. This is also an encouraging and creative place to focus on what you want to be, do and achieve.

Are you wondering if healing is really possible? Are you struggling to find hope? Maybe you are struggling with the effects of childhood trauma and want the past to stop haunting you? Has therapy failed you in the past? Are you wounded relationally? Do you struggle with attachment? I can help you learn strategies to apply to the here-and-now while also helping you make sense of what happened to you. I believe in the power of a strong relationship between the therapist and the client and that healing happens in the context of that relationship. I think you'll find me warm, non-judgmental, engaging, and attuned to your needs.

I specialize in families/couples, and I am an Idaho licensed LMFT and Arizona licensed LAMFT. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck. Sometimes relationships begin great, but life/situations cause a change to happen. We all have personal challenges, have stressful periods, or go through traumatic times. The desire to seek help to explore and process these problems can open the door to positive growth. I believe in the healing power of relationships: no matter the wounds, if all parties are willing to heal, I will help.

Therapy, at its best, provides a foundation for growth and change. It can be a sanctuary where one finds the courage to experience and express deep feelings and important thoughts, to heal emotional and relational wounds, expand one's perspectives and sense of self, develop authenticity and meaning in life, and learn ways to support and help oneself that can be carried into the world. My intention is to offer this kind of sanctuary and experience to each client. The success of my own therapeutic journey informs and motivates my desire to help others along their life paths.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
