Major life changes, relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, and burnout can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected. We'll work to make sense of what's happening beneath the surface and move toward the life and relationships you most want. I’m located in downtown Boise and offer in-person and telehealth sessions for adults. I often work with people navigating divorce or breakup, life-stage transitions, and grief and loss.
I use NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), a modern trauma-informed approach that emphasizes self-compassion, self-awareness, and resilience. Together, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and connect with others, helping you develop greater choice, flexibility, and freedom.
Healing often begins with reconnecting to what truly matters to you. Our work gives you the chance to slow down and discover who you are beyond pressure, expectations, and the roles you've had to play. I’m EMDR trained, LGBTQIA+ affirming and hope to hear from you.

My approach grounded in respect and collaboration. I draw on NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), a depth-oriented framework that helps you understand and tend to what's causing distress. Working this way can be helpful if you've developed ways of coping that get you through, but sense there may be something deeper to explore.
