In Person Therapists in Pocatello, ID

After 17 years out in the field, I’m excited to join Psychology Today in order to share my services. I love helping people and navigating the journey with my clients. Although this process can sometimes be challenging, it can also be the most rewarding gift a person can give themselves. Whether you are seeking support, healing, closure, skills/tools to deal with life, or strength to continue on; having a friend to come alongside you is worth its weight in gold.

I understand the struggle. Sometimes life is not as simple as we want it to be. Life requires change, growth and therefore challenges come with the territory. Sometimes we adopt behaviors that are hard to kick. Sometimes we are struggling to deal with changes in life, beyond our circumstances. When we embark upon making change, the first thing we do as human is call on will power. Unfortunately, will power only last so long and we quickly revert to old lifestyles and behaviors.

Navigating life's challenges is tough, especially for your children. Even the youngest children pick up on the stress around them.

Bessel van der Kolk Said, "Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves." (p.97)" The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.

So much in life tears us down and tells us "we're not good enough," or "we're doing it wrong." Sometimes we even get in the way of ourselves, undermining our own best efforts. Let's face it; we can also be our best enemies. We're each in the middle of our own lives and heaven knows we could all use someone looking in from time to time to help us see what we're missing. We're not meant to go at it alone. You and I both know it just doesn't work that way. It takes each of us to get through this life together.
