Taking new video clients only! Do you feel stuck, anxious and depressed and wonder what is wrong with you? Personal crisis, work burnout, the loss of a loved one, and stressful situations like those of 2020 make life even harder. Just deciding to change, talking yourself through it or “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps” doesn't always work. Sometimes your pain is deep and rooted in the past. Maybe it’s not clear to you and held in your subconscious. That is often a normal outcome when we don’t get the support we need in our time of struggle. I am here to help and look forward to meeting you
I get it. I’m here for you. By using EMDR, Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, and some DBT I strive to get you back on track quickly. I provide a very caring, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach. You have to feel safe to work through and heal from trauma, grief and the sometimes limiting feelings and beliefs that pain can leave behind.
I work with ages teens (must want therapy) through adulthood who have depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma (both emotional trauma and experiential trauma), acute grief, life transitions, and those who are motivated for change but feel stuck. I work Thurs-Sat from 1-5:30 and can see telehealth people in Idaho. Please e-mail or text to see availability
