Cancer Therapists in Boise, ID

In my practice, I work with adolescents, children and adults. My specialties include: relationship problems, adolescent development, health psychology, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, learning disabilities and attentional problems. Infertility counseling is also a special interest of mine, including third party reproduction issues (donor and surrogacy). My therapeutic approach varies depending on the issues with which you are struggling and who you are as a person. I don't have one approach that fits all clients but tailor my work to the individual. In general, I help clients identify and enhance their current psychological strengths in order to address their problems.

My approach to therapy is, first and foremost, about the relationship between the therapist and client. Acceptance, compassion, and respect are the building blocks of a therapeutic relationship. I believe in developing a trusting, accepting, and empathetic relationship, focusing on the strengths of the client. My master's education was completed at the University of Denver which ranks in the top 20 schools in the nation for social work schools. Their clinical social work program is ranked in the top 7 percent of all accredited social work programs in the nation and has prepared me to provide the best care to meet client needs.

*** Not accepting new clients *** I truly believe that we all do the best we can and that we always have options and room for growth. As a counselor, I employ the use of an integrative approach which assists clients in their process of working through and with life experiences. I enjoy brainstorming with the client; to identify goals, learn and practice skills that enhance their individual abilities in a healthy manner. Such therapy is particularly well-suited to people, couples, and families who are struggling with life transitions, and have a genuine desire to pursue personal and professional growth.

Seeking counseling can be a difficult decision, and a giant step in your personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for help and I believe we all need help from others throughout our lives. If you decide I'm the right counselor for you, let's build a therapeutic relationship and walk through this growth process together. My strength is in providing a genuinely safe and accepting environment in which you can become comfortable exploring your feelings, thoughts and different perspectives. Counseling can help you gain awareness and empower you to take control of your life.

"I believe three of the most important words anyone can say are... I hear you." My professional journey has been dedicated to working with children, adolescents and their families. My ability to build rapport and develop relationships is the foundation to my work. I teach and model healthy parent-child communication which is the scaffolding for effective parenting. I also work with young women who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief & loss, relationship difficulties and sensitive women's issues. My work often involves building self-esteem, healing emotional wounds, personal growth and finding a sense of purpose.

I understand that the thought of going to therapy can generate massive feelings of anxiety, but really, therapy is a hopeful process, one of realizing your strengths and learning more advantageous approaches to the challenges life can bring. I specialize in therapy with adolescents and adults, couples, individuals, families and blended families. *Not accepting new clients at this time.
