Boise Bench. Supervised by Krysteena Wilson LCPC-8855. I know that it has taken you some time to get to this place, seeking help is not easy. You are taking responsibility for your future, and you should be proud. I believe that therapy is collaborative. I believe that our therapeutic relationship is important, the respect that we have for each other is important, and our connection is important. I believe in a space of non-judgment, and a space for deep healing and growth.

I help my clients understand their attachment patterns so they can have healthier relationships. If you feel stuck in your relationship, cycle through the same argument with your partner, or have a deep desire to be the parent to your child that your parent struggled to be to you, then we'll likely be a good fit. In our initial sessions, we will explore your family history to determine beliefs that you formed about relationships - both with yourself and others. My goal is to guide you in better understanding your relationships so that you can heal your attachment wounds and break unhealthy, multi-generational family cycles.

Ultimately, I want to help clients clearly identify specific obstacles, learn how to overcome them, and then move on to accomplish their goals.

Perhaps all the things you were doing before to keep your emotions in check, make your partner happy, or ignore your past are no longer working. Maybe you’ve read the self-help books and listened to scores of podcasts, but you cannot seem to escape your personal hell. If you're a man, maybe you're at a crossroads with what it means to be manly. If you're going through faith deconstruction, perhaps you feel sad and angry, but nobody within or outside the church seems to understand. Or maybe your relationship is close to failure and you are at a loss how to save it. But now you find yourself here, ready to do something different.

I help my clients understand the logic behind their emotions. Once they understand how their mind (logic) and heart (emotions) work, they are better able to use their new tools to reduce or stop depression, worries, pain, and relationship problems. Marriages improve and children behave better once these principles are put into place. They learn how to meet their needs in a healthier way and break the abusive cycles of behavior. I work with couples, families and individuals of all ages with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, parenting and relationship issues.

There are times when we are not sure how to help ourselves or our children through challenges in our lives. It can be difficult to move forward with trauma or know how to support our child's mental health needs. My goal is to help you identify the goals you want to work on to enhance your life and move towards wellness. Using techniques such as play therapy and EMDR help my clients resolve difficulties and recover from trauma.

I have worked extensively for the past ten years with individuals who have various mental health diagnosis. I enjoy working with families/couples in finding a resolve to the struggles we face daily as well as with children who are living with unresolved past traumas. I love working with children utilizing play therapy techniques and watch them begin their healing process. I offer EMDR for treating past traumas, anxiety and depression both with children and adults.
