Therapists in Boise, ID

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.

Having a difficult time shutting your mind off at night? Feeling lonely and stressed? Has the stress of life affected the relationship with your partner? When was the last time you felt refreshed or rested? It does not have to be this way as there are several ways therapy can help much faster than you think. As an experienced therapist, I am "unshockable" and can handle whatever it is you are struggling with. As life continues to feel uncertain for many people at this time, now is the time to start taking action and to focus on caring for your needs. I am here to help you feel more connected to others and to learn to feel joy again.

We know life is a journey full of surprises, both good and bad, and rarely includes instructions. Together, we build a positive and therapeutic relationship to help navigate life's journey. My approach varies based on the needs of the individual client(s), but always begins with a welcoming and safe environment. This might include one on one counseling, marriage, family or group counseling, and may utilize play therapy, art therapy, or sand tray therapy.

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) as well as a nationally certified counselor (NCC) in the state of Idaho. I am passionate about holistically partnering with clients on their journeys towards growth and healing in a way that respects the whole person. I work with teens and adults to help them as they process through past traumas, navigate current challenges, identify and set healthy boundaries, and find new ways to better manage their mental health.

I believe we all strive to make the very best of our lives, even when we are feeling frozen and unable to step out of life’s muck and mire. I will collaborate with you to take those first steps to rediscovering your best Self. Whatever your concerns, you can count on my acceptance and nonjudgment. I have seen remarkable changes in my clients, as they begin to tap into their strengths and remember their value. Contact me, and we will determine if I can help you on your journey to the healthy life you desire.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Challenges of life may become overwhelming. You may not even know why you are experiencing strong emotions. We sometimes find ourselves unable to move forward on our own. Together we can navigate your unique situation and collaborate ways to make changes, grow through adversity, and build life satisfaction.

Seeking therapy is a form of wisdom and self-love. It allows you to connect within yourself so you can grow, accept and find peace. Therapy should be hopeful and positive. It should help you move forward from feeling “stuck”. I hope to empower you and your story and to assist you in forming positive self-talk. At times our thoughts can be negative and can create inner discord. I want to help support you in pausing and redirecting negative self-talk to a positive self-talk. My goal is to provide a judgement-free and inclusive space so you can build the skills to lead a healthy and happy life.
