Family Therapy in Kuna, ID

As a counselor I whole-heartedly believe as a human we have the power to heal and grow in even the most adverse circumstances and situation. I practice from a client-centered trauma informed viewpoint that allows oneself to recognize their strengths to empower them to change and believe in their ability to change.

I consider it a privilege to work with patients to find clarity and renewed strength to face their life circumstances.

My ideal client is one who may or may not understand their problematic behaviors and thoughts that keep them in the same dysfunctional patterns who would like to make positive changes with the help of a professional! Their goals would include getting out of the rut they’re in and moving past repeated negative thinking habits. They want to make better choices for themselves and their loved ones and have successful relationships where they can use healthy coping skills and learn to problem solve on their own.

I want people to enjoy life as much as possible and learn to embrace the growth during more difficult times.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups who believe personal change is possible and valuable in their lives. I use an emotion focused approach, as put forth in the work of Dr. Les Greenberg, and have received formal training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I believe that people are agents of their own positive change, and that many are unaware of how emotions relate to their thoughts and behavior. My clinical practice has taught me to respect the experience, worldview, and value system of each individual without imposing my own. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.

I use 25 years of experience and a strong sense humor to be a part of creating solutions to pressing challenges like behavioral and relationship distress, discovering your strengths, and making ambitious progress toward your chosen future. I enjoy working with most people. Some of my favorite clients are those discovering who they are and summoning the courage to let the world know. I support client's by listening, hearing, and seeing them and looking for patterns that are lifting them up and holding them back. Together we untangle the past and make sense of the future.

Currently unable to accept new clients. I offer a comforting presence, a wealth of human experience, and expertise in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse, relationship issues, anger management, LGBT issues, aging, and adjusting to change. I would be honored to join you in a journey to bring balance and satisfaction into your life. I have worked extensively with incarcerated individuals/their families and young adults struggling through major life transitions. I am licensed in Utah and Idaho.

I hope you will find here what you are looking for in a therapist. My expertise includes dealing with day to day stressors or serious and chronic conditions related to trauma and abuse. An ideal client is one who will entertain the idea of healing even if ambivalent, and who will engage in a therapeutic relationship even if trust has been a challenge in the past. Whether it is addiction, questions about sexuality or gender, concerns about the normalcy of one's experiences, or myriad complexities of daily life, I invite you to begin or continue your journey in a safe and confidential environment.

I understand that navigating relationships can be challenging and overwhelming, and I am committed to helping my clients find healing and develop healthier patterns of interaction. My approach to therapy is informed by a combination of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe that every individual has a unique story and that therapy can help them identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior.

Dedicated to fostering healing & self-discovery, my therapeutic approach is a blend of trauma-sensitive, attachment-based, & psychodynamic perspectives. I specialize in working with individuals & couples with traumatic backgrounds, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, & life transitions. Creating a supportive space for self-awareness, my goal is to guide you toward a clearer sense of self, more authentic relationships, & positive change. My journey in the mental health field stems from a profound curiosity about the human mind and a genuine desire to assist individuals in overcoming life's challenges.

Life can be overwhelming and leave you feel worn out. When things seem dark and heavy, there is help and hope available, you are not alone. I use a trauma informed lens which means we look at how adverse experiences impacted you and how they show up in the here and now. I work with you to create a compassionate supportive place to process and build inner resources. Reaching out is evidence of inner strength and courage. I am honored to work alongside my clients as they heal and move towards their goals.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.
