Self Esteem Therapists in Boise, ID

I provide therapy for adults and teens, aimed at healing emotional wounds, understanding oneself, and achieving one's potential. I often deal with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-criticism, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, life changes and life purpose. I also work with families and couples to improve communication, solve conflicts, and develop more loving connections. My approach is rooted in acceptance, empathy, and genuineness. I'm passionate about helping people grow and express their true selves. My goal is to help you break out of harmful or limiting patterns and live a more satisfying life.

Would you believe me if I told you that your inner wisdom has the solutions to all of your problems? You may just need some help getting there. I believe counseling is a collaborative relationship where together we can create a safe and welcoming space to address the mental and emotional challenges you're facing. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a variety of life stressors such as life transitions, relationship issues, spiritual issues, self-esteem issues, financial/occupational stress, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma recovery, and addiction and substance use related concerns.

Therapy is a process and my goal is to guide you toward a better understanding of yourself and your choices and to identify strengths and weaknesses impacting your daily living. Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, my approach is based on your current struggles, concerns and personality style. Your goal as a patient is to one day leave therapy with new insights, tools and strategies to live life to the fullest.

Do you feel like you and your partner are having the same argument repeatedly? Do you wish you could see yourself the way others see you? Do you find yourself getting caught up in situations or relationships that feel unnecessarily difficult? Many of my clients have experienced similar situations. I often work with people to explore topics such as relationship concerns, self-esteem, body image, communication barriers, stress/anxiety, life transitions and women's issues.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unhappy in your relationships, work, or personal life? Do you want to make positive changes but don’t know where to start? If so, you are not alone. Many people struggle with these issues at some point in their lives, and sometimes they need professional help to overcome them. That’s where I come in. I am a licensed counselor with experience in helping individuals, couples, and teens cope with various challenges such as trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication problems, and more.

My approach to counseling is driven by respect, openness, and collaboration. I believe that we are neither all good nor all bad but rather a mixture of both. I work to build a relationship that cultivates insight and growth, together finding the parts of you that challenge, confuse, or frustrate you. I enjoy counseling adolescents (16+) and adults. I am currently only doing sessions via a secure 2 way HIPAA compliant video connection. For the fastest response please send me an email with your inquiry.

As a counselor, I wholeheartedly support transformational healing for all clients. I practice from a person-centered, trauma-informed viewpoint with the aim of empowering my clients to not only choose to change but to embrace their change. I walk alongside clients in their journey towards hope and healing, utilizing a strengths-based approach, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and key concepts of both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

It can be difficult to take steps towards inner reflection. With patience and persistence, you will cultivate greater confidence, self-esteem and emotional balance. I work with the resilience within you and believe you have the skills and inner reserves to assist you in overcoming obstacles in your life. My perspective on therapy is built on a foundation of collaboration, interaction, trust and observation. The passion in my life is being invited and accompanying my clients in this journey. My style is an eclectic approach which can include treatment using mindfulness, action based, narrative, and interpersonal therapy among others.

Most of my clients identify as high achievers, type A, people pleasers, or perfectionists struggling with one or more relationships in their lives. Stress feels unmanageable and my clients might be tired of people walking on them or struggling to say no. I help clients identify unhealthy, manipulative or controlling behavior (which may include narcissistic patterns of emotional abuse). I teach clients skills to communicate more directly, identify red flags, set boundaries, build self-esteem, balance stress, and safety plan if/when you decide to leave the relationship(s). I offer support whether you choose to stay or leave.

Accepting new patients! I help teens, preteens and young adults learn how to cope with life stressors so that they can be happier in their personal and family lives. Most teens and young adults struggle with becoming overwhelmed and not sure how to deal with all the emotions that come up for them. So much is changing so quickly, and it can be difficult to feel like you are keeping up with the constant transitions.

People seek therapy for many reasons, but most people have one common goal: change. They want a change in how they feel, think, behave or in how they are treated. They want to be truly heard, understood and validated by someone who won't judge or criticize them. They want to heal from their past and feel hopeful about their future. This is exactly what I strive to provide to every client. I’ve helped clients with various presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, relationship and family issues, panic attacks, grief, self-harm, stress and more.
