Therapists in Ada County, ID
I believe the bravest thing you can do is to choose to un-become what no longer fits who you are, or that’s standing in the way of the life you want. You’ve been doing the best that you can, & things still don’t feel right. You realize life is too short to feel stuck, worried, angry, disconnected, afraid or whatever word describes that things just suck. When you’re ready to change something, you want to know that someone is with you. I hope you will take a moment to reach out, discuss your needs & see if I’m a good fit to help you with this change.

Who is that someone in your life that slows down to listen and has a desire to deeply understand what you are going through? I aim to be the nonjudgmental person that can hold space and the figurative mirror that allows you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and your life experiences. I enjoy working with teens and adults (individuals and couples), aiding them in processing relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, trauma, anxiety, and/or depression.

Are you searching for peace? Are you exhausted from the emotional outbursts of your child or the silent treatment from your teenager? Parenting is hard! I have specialized training in play therapy and can help your child learn how to regulate their emotions, ease their anxiety, or heal from their past. I work closely with parents and together we can create an environment that will help everyone breathe a bit easier. I enjoy working with parents on an individual level as well because life is complex and sometimes all we need is help "uncomplicating" it.

I love my job, and clients describe me as calm, warm, engaged and empathic. I admire the courage of those who choose to come to therapy, and I have seen that courage pay off in overcoming obstacles and actively setting new habits for living fully and joyfully. Why not get some help in figuring out who you are and what you want in this life?

Relationships tend to be the greatest source of both stress and joy in our lives. Whether you're enduring conflict in your marriage, with family, or children the disconnection can feel debilitating. Together we can explore the dynamics that are the source of that pain and, either as a couple or individual, breaking through the stagnation of painful conflict to find peace and connection. Specifically, with couples I appreciate and deeply understand the painful issues that are connected with sexual relationships and have tailored my education around incorporating that focus.

Life and relationships can be difficult and messy. At times, help is necessary to find clarity and direction as we move toward the healthiest version of ourselves. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard as we work together to address the issues which brought you into counseling. Building on professional and personal life experiences, I engage in counseling collaboratively with acceptance for who and where you are while building a therapeutic relationship which becomes a catalyst for change. I utilize an eclectic theoretical approach which best meets the needs of each individual.

Taking Video clients! 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 want to help those that may otherwise not receive the help and support they need. We all go through difficult periods in life, and having the right support is essential in taking care of oneself. I’m here to help individuals address past traumas, daily mental health symptoms, suicidal ideations, or day to day stresses. I spent nearly 8 years with the Idaho Crisis and Suicide Hotline. I believe Suicide is preventable and therapy plays a role it the prevention process.

I specialize in working with men struggling with an unhealthy relationship with themselves and others leading to disconnect, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self esteem and a host of other issues. Stated by Thoreau, “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.” This doesn't have to be you, feel better, love better, perform better and enjoy more. Consistent with this I also work with couples to help reestablish the connection that is struggling or feels lost.
