Spirituality Therapists in Boise, ID

Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

I specialize in families/couples, and I am an Idaho-licensed LMFT and Arizona-licensed LAMFT. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck.

The desire to seek help to explore and process these problems can open the door to positive growth. I believe in the healing power of relationships: no matter the wounds, if all parties are willing to heal, I will help.

Life transitions, grief, and trauma disrupt the natural flow of life, which may lead to getting stuck in self-defeating thoughts and behaviors with feelings of overwhelm or disconnect. Additionally, difficulty with sleep, digestion, and focus may dominate your daily routine. It takes courage to make this first step towards healing and growth. Do current or past experiences or worries about the future keep you from living your full potential? Are you emotionally, physically, or mentally exhausted? Are you ready to make changes in your life? Then I might be the counselor for you. Together we can take steps to increase your wellbeing.

My practice has been built on my unique ability to connect with clients and to quickly understand the necessary steps to take for symptom relief. I take a collaborative approach - meaning I believe people intrinsically know where they need to go, even as they realize the need for guidance on just how to get there. We partner together in order to achieve relief from depression, anxiety, divorce, PTSD, and relational issues with spouse/significant other, children and families. I also deal with spiritual issues in an effort to achieve more peace with self and God.

No matter your circumstance, psychotherapy can have a positive impact on your life and your relationships. It is my hope to act as a guide for those that are ready to achieve healing in their lives. I seek to work collaboratively with clients to explore the best tools for each unique situation. While I am competent in using ACT, DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Systems Therapy, Solution Focused Brief therapy, Somatic and Polyvagal Therapy, working with me is more than a manual. I know each client has a unique modality or evidence based practice that will be the best fit.

I believe in positivity and hope and will help clients to discover and build on their strengths. My goal as your therapist is to provide a trauma informed, safe environment to explore new cognitive frameworks, practice mindfulness, and celebrate your successes. I operate using a compassion based, judgement free approach that is collaborative in nature. Each client’s path to internal peace and happiness is unique to them and using the lens of neurobiology, cognitive behavioral theory, attachment and humor I hope to assist in that journey.

I love working with a variety of people, and have found I seem to "click" best with those who are struggling with chronic levels of anxiety. Often, these folks have experienced trauma in the context of relationships, especially early relationships, and are seeking to find their own truth about themselves and their experiences. Finding peace and meaning in the midst of these kinds of pain can feel impossible, and, it is achievable.

Perhaps the essence of all your mental and emotional pain resides in the inability to love yourself. Thus, it's essential to identify and uncover all the barriers that stand in your way. At any given moment, you have the option of stepping forward into something new and unfamiliar or backward into the reassurance of familiarity. My role is to foster in you the risk to grow while honoring the courage to forfeit safety. I'm eager to explore what holds you back in life and deeply invested in guiding you towards greater balance and authenticity.

EMDR, trauma informed therapist. I help individuals understand the human experience, their human experience, in a powerful holistic way.

I help individuals relieve suffering and find new ways to experience life and have a more fulfilled human experience.

I also work with individuals who want to restore balance, feel confident, and change patterned beliefs or behaviors.
