Narrative Therapists in 83702

My primary passion/skill is in working with couples, individuals, those with anxiety. I am HOPE focused & love building a safe & welcoming space for my clients. I'll help you walk towards the abundant life/marriage God desires for you. I believe people do the best they can. I would be honored to walk beside you & give you the tools you are in need of whether it's communication, conflict, or intimacy. For those with anxiety, I teach you how to not be afraid of anxiety & give you tools to work with it instead of against it. We use biblical/therapeutic techniques to learn how to truly take thoughts captive & not allow anxiety to rule.

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.

One of my primary interests is that of free will. It is my own personal belief that addiction, trauma, and other mental health issues either subvert or inhibit our free will as well as our own personal development into an authentic individual. My ideal client is an individual that is seeking to work through the restraints and obstacles they experience to live a more intentional life. I enjoy learning about people's lives and asking questions to understand their unique experiences. Everyone has amazing stories, and your life is full of color.

Accepting new clients! As a therapist, I love to hear each client’s unique story and I am excited to work with people from different backgrounds. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients to live their most authentic lives. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we work collaboratively toward your goals. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives. I help my clients to navigate and understand who they are.

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. Sometimes relationships begin great, but life/situations cause a change to happen. We all have personal challenges, have stressful periods, or go through traumatic times. 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.

I see families, couples and individuals that want a new way to relate to themselves and to each other. I provide a safe and open minded environment where we can look at things with fresh eyes, minds and hearts. Therapy with me is a lantern of sorts, a light trained to see the sticking points in your relationships and/or behavior patterns, mirroring those things back to you, exploring what they might mean, where and when they came and what you’d like to do going forward. Healing generations of patterns and pain can change the future for you and your loved ones.

Making the decision to seek counseling takes courage, and I understand how overwhelming it can be to find the right counselor. As your guide, I offer my full self—my experiences, education, and unwavering support—in our sessions. Together, we'll build a safe space, free of judgment, where you're embraced with unconditional acceptance. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or exploring relationships and identity, I'm here to meet you where you are. I'm committed to supporting you through every step of your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Se necesita mucho coraje y fuerza para buscar terapia. Creo que el camino hacia la curación y el bienestar es un proceso de empoderamiento y crecimiento.Mi objetivo es ayudar a mis clientes en su viaje personal de auto-descubrimiento tratando a cada persona como un individuo único.

In an ever-changing world, with so many hardships and challenges, I have dedicated my life to helping people make sense out of their struggles and find more peace. I believe in people, and believe that in a safe and supportive environment, with a skillful and responsible guide, people are capable of incredible accomplishments, leading to changes that enable more peace and joyful living. I believe that people develop maladaptive patterns of living and relating and that sometimes simple changes in habits, thinking, growing and understanding, can lead to happier, healthier lives and relationships. I'd be happy to receive your call!

Coming to counseling does not mean you are broken, it means you have made a courageous choice to heal. I see humans as extraordinary beings who have the capacity to look inward to find the places most in need of love, compassion, and acceptance. Together, we create the world in which you will shine the brightest. Looking at yourself through a holistic lens where we connect the mind, body, an spirit, you can heal yourself. This modality offers an efficient and effective process to healing that is extraordinary. In November of 2022, I hosted my first Women's Healing and Empowerment Yoga Therapy workshop. It was so magical! Join me!

Downtown Boise. Supervised by Krysteena Wilson LCPC-8855. I know that it has taken you some time to get to this place, seeking help is not easy. You are taking responsibility for your future, and you should be proud. I believe that therapy is collaborative. I believe that our therapeutic relationship is important, the respect that we have for each other is important, and our connection is important. I believe in a space of non-judgment, and a space for deep healing and growth.

Currently accepting new clients. I love helping people heal and align with their better self... their "real self" that has been hidden away. I do this through connection, healing, and seeing you as being whole through holistic, modern, and traditional approaches. I come from the Rosebud Lakota people in South Dakota and have lived here in Boise since 1993. Drawing upon my traditional insight and background that is centered on human balance, harmony, and inner peace by way of connecting the circle of past, present, and future. It's all connected... we are connected! Contact me for a free 15 min. consultation.

Currently accepting new clients and EMDR trained. People I help want to feel better quickly and my goal is to help you feel better as soon as possible so that they can move on into your better life. People have reported our work together has been invaluable in providing relief to past trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, family struggles, problems with marriage and relationships, sexual issues, loss and grief, issues related to age and life transitions, LGBTQIA+, social justice and race issues, military veterans and first-responder issues, and historical and multigenerational trauma issues.

Are you a business leader, executive or health care professional who's feeling stuck in repeating patterns? I specialize in empowering busy professionals like you. I offer discrete services and I do NOT bill insurance: Ensuring complete privacy and confidentiality. As an AAMFT Clinical Fellow and Founder Emeritus of one the PacNW's largest mental health practices, I will focus on helping you uncover ways to create meaningful change at both home and at work. I take a compassionate, yet direct and results-oriented approach to treating anxiety and relationship issues impacting you at home, work, and in every facet of your life.

For many of us, it is hard to ask for help when we really need it. Many say that is due to a sense of pride or just plain stubbornness. Realizing we cannot move through the world alone is scary. It can be even more terrifying to be vulnerable with another person. Through that vulnerability comes growth, and watching my clients move through this process is my favorite part of the job. By building and fostering a therapeutic relationship we can help identify core problems, set goals, and find ways to help you be your best self.

I am currently taking new Clients. I believe that we are far more than what we present to others. Along the journey, we sometimes lose touch with our authentic self. This loss reveals itself in many ways: Dissatisfaction in relationships, Questions about career/vocation, Feelings of depression/anxiety, eating too much or too little, Lack of confidence, Uncertainty about life choices, Physical/emotional weariness, Spiritual confusion and Disillusionment. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University and additional intensive Masters Study in Human Relationships. My undergrad degree is in Education with emphasis in health: body, mind and spirit.

I am an affirming Boise-local therapist who focuses on Polyvagal Theory and EMDR for the treatment of anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, somatic complaints (ulcers), and other mental health responses for adults, teens, and LGBTQIA+ peoples. I also enjoy mindfulness practices, acceptance practices, and consider my approach as a wholistic neurological approach.

I applaud you for making the first step in looking for a therapist. You may be feeling frustrated and thinking that you are out of hope. Are you lonely and isolated in your pain? Let your pain be the messenger; it is informing you to take action. It is time to make a change. While nothing that you are going through is easy, this pain is the catalyst for growth. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples repair, reconnect and rejuvenate their relationships.

We all have times when we feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. You may feel unsure where to even start to begin healing or change. I partner with individuals, couples, and families to get clarity. In our work together, clients develop a new understanding of themselves and begin making movement toward change. My training and experience includes couples' issues, blended families, life transitions, parent/teen issues, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. With couples, I hold space for you to feel safe, gain insight about yourself and your partner, and grow your relationship stronger.
