Therapists in Boise, ID

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am committed to empowering others to achieve freedom from fear, find hope, and embrace greater quality of life through evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Patients can expect 3 phases of treatment: 1) gain a full understanding of presenting concerns; 2) apply gold standard/EBTs in several environments; 3) patient stand as expert, generalizing their knowledge, while I sit as a consultant. I offer accurate diagnosing and treatment precision techniques with advanced modalities (e.g., bio/neurofeedback, virtual reality, etc.) and each client can expect a warm welcome from their first contact to the last.

Seeking help from a stranger during times of struggle takes a vast amount of strength and courage. It is that strength and courage that we will lean on and explore together in order to navigate the difficulties life throws our way. As a counselor, I primarily utilize Brainspotting. I also utilize EMDR and a systemic, strength based approach, primarily Cognitive Behavior therapy, to assist individuals and families with enhancing their existing assets to realize their treatment goals. My clinical experience is diverse and includes working with adolescents, and adults, as well as marital, couples, and family therapy.

**NOW OFFERING ONLINE/TELEMENTAL HEALTH SESSIONS It takes courage to reach out and involve a counselor in our most intimate of life's struggles. I honor that courage. My goal is to provide a safe and judgment-free environment for you to process what's going on in your life. Making a connection with a counselor you trust is so important. I chose to do this work because I am passionate about helping people, and maybe more so, because I have personally experienced very powerful changes in my own life from facing my "stuff" with a therapist I trusted. I believe in this process.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups who believe personal change is possible and valuable in their lives. I use an emotion focused approach, as put forth in the work of Dr. Les Greenberg, and have received formal training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I believe that people are agents of their own positive change, and that many are unaware of how emotions relate to their thoughts and behavior. My clinical practice has taught me to respect the experience, worldview, and value system of each individual without imposing my own. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.
