Therapists in Kuna, ID

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.

I want people to enjoy life as much as possible and learn to embrace the growth during more difficult times.

My ideal client is one who may or may not understand their problematic behaviors and thoughts that keep them in the same dysfunctional patterns who would like to make positive changes with the help of a professional! Their goals would include getting out of the rut they’re in and moving past repeated negative thinking habits. They want to make better choices for themselves and their loved ones and have successful relationships where they can use healthy coping skills and learn to problem solve on their own.

I enjoy working with most people. Some of my favorite clients are those discovering who they are and summoning the courage to let the world know.

I see you. The past isn't all you hoped it would be. The future feels like a creaky bridge across a canyon. Presently; you're not entirely sure how to take your next steps or where those steps will lead you. It can be confusing, overwhelming and maybe even unbearable. So here you are. You're looking for answers. You're looking for something to help with "all of this."

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.
