Teletherapy for Downtown - Boise, ID

Hello and thank you for viewing my bio. There are many reasons to enlist a psychotherapist or counselor, including seeking a better understanding of yourself, following a path of self-discovery, looking for hope and support, or stepping more powerfully into yourself to live the life you wish to have. Since our relationships are so core to engaging our biggest selves, talking with a therapist can often help identify our personal patterns of relating in a way that may help us begin to enjoy more satisfying relationships.

I am currently OUT of OFFICE until late MAY 2024. You often find yourself nauseous and wanting to cry when there is conflict in your life. You wish you could just hit pause on the world because it feels so overwhelming sometimes. You feel like people don’t understand you, or what you’re trying to say, and sometimes you don’t really understand yourself either. You notice feeling unheard or dismissed often. You want to have better relationships, less conflict, set boundaries, and understand yourself or your actions. You want stability and steadiness in a life or in relationships that feel rocky or confusing.

1 weekly spot April - You are FRIED. Fueled on little but persistence and caffeine you keep pushing yourself forward. Yet, there’s a voice inside saying "I can’t keep doing this." You’re convinced it must be something about you – you aren’t good enough. What really sucks is you’re smart – like really smart, so it seems logical that you should be able to figure this out on your own. But you can’t think your way out of this. The positive affirmations feel like toxic positivity. Validation, empathy, and commiserating only get you so far. And some people still don't even get it. You need something more.

Are you feeling fatigued, stressed, under-satisfied? Concerned about hormone changes that could be related to perimenopause (the transitional period before menopause) or menopause (after a year of no periods)? Are you experiencing: Mood changes, Period changes, Changes in sexual desire, Trouble concentrating, Headaches, Night sweats, Hot flashes, Vaginal dryness, or Trouble with sleep? If you are feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner, and maybe your desire doesn’t match your partner’s, you are not alone. Improve your overall health - sexual health isn't just about sex!

Through counseling, I believe that everybody already has the tools to help themselves. As a counselor, it is my job to help others find those tools to work through difficult times. I enjoy working with individuals aged 14 and up who are interested in challenging themselves to increase self-awareness and acceptance. Counseling is a collaborative effort between client and clinician to make and meet goals and create meaningful life changes. I specialize in anxiety, depression, boundary setting, life transitions, and relationship concerns, . I have experience with LGBTQ+ and individuals who identify in non-traditional relationships.

I specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, especially when the themes of intrusive thoughts are of a taboo and/or sexual nature. Feel terrified by thoughts of hurting people, accidentally or on purpose? Sexual crimes? Sexual orientation? Incest? Sacrilege? I can help. I promise, I don't judge and I understand what your OCD has been putting you through.

Your thoughts about food and wanting to change your body feel constant. Binge eating by the end of the night may feel inevitable. You continually compare your body to others and to the times when you were thinner. You have high expectations for yourself but feel like it's never good enough or that you are failing. Family members may be expressing concern for your well being, or maybe they have no idea how much you are struggling. Issues with binge eating, body hate, bulimia, or anorexia can feel like they're taking over your life.

Do you appear functional on the outside but inside deal with insecurities? You might feel some "imposter syndrome" even when you are actually quite successful on the outside. Do you worry that your anxiety will interfere with your work or relationships? You might have lingering impacts from things that happened in childhood or in toxic relationships. Most of my clients are women who are overthinkers and people- pleasers and suffer from being very self-critical. I think of our work as "recovery from everything." The positive coping skills we work on are quite similar no matter what has caused you such high levels of anxiety.

Are you struggling with anxiety and self-doubt? Has it been difficult to stay present through day to day life? I understand and I can help you learn to deal with painful fear and dread. Whether you’re dealing with confusion, or personal and professional challenges, we can talk about what’s been holding you back and what baby steps you can start taking.

I am a person-centered therapist who assists in exploring your challenges, suffering or emotional pain. My ideal client is one who is willing to walk through this challenging step with me. In a supportive therapeutic setting, I help people safely process emotions and experiences as well as learn practical, strengths-based coping strategies and techniques for symptom management /reduction. I can help assist in identifying your beliefs/thoughts, patterns and your body's response that prevents you from recovery.

Hello, and welcome! Feeling stuck, stressed or overwhelmed? I am here to help. I would be honored to assist you on your journey. I have spent the majority of my career in schools, working with teens, children and parents. I have experience supporting individuals and families navigate depression, anxiety, school transitions, stress, trauma, grief, and more. I am here to be in your corner as an advocate, and resource. Let's help you feel your best, and find relief from stress.

It is a courageous act to seek out healing in the form of psychotherapy and allow someone to witness the journey. I honor whatever brought you to the place of looking for a therapist that will fit your needs, and I welcome the parts of you that may feel unsure of the process or resistant. As a trauma therapist, my focus is understanding the body and mind and how they act on our behalf to navigate relationships and the world. Trauma work is about finding more flexibility and ease in that process. My goal with clients is to build a trusting relationship in an environment where exploring these dynamics feels accessible.

I help individuals who feel stuck in repeated cycles, often due to the impacts of trauma or wounds caused by unhealthy relationships. You may be tired of finding yourself in the same toxic relationship patterns, dealing with self esteem issues, or feeling constantly dysregulated, anxious, or on edge.

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!

Hi! We all go through periods in our lives where a little extra help and guidance is necessary. Whatever struggle may be presenting itself in your life, I believe you have the ability to make it through this challenge with increased insight, compassion and the tools to thrive. I believe treatment works best through a collaborative, supportive and non-judgmental approach where my role is to help guide and equip you with the necessary tools and coping skills. Ultimately, though, you are the expert in your healing process.

My style is direct, down to Earth and intuitive. I prefer to use humor and common sense over clinical jargon and stuffiness. I am in the performing arts and my counseling sessions are held in my studio with all my music equipment and my dog. Most of my clients are dealing with issues related to adjustments, life transitions, relationships, self esteem, grief, and anxiety. I work with individuals/couples/families, adults and children. I am 100% freelance so I don't accommodate no-shows or frequent rescheduling. I do not accept insurance but I offer a sliding fee scale.

I believe that each person has the ability to learn, grow, and change. My goal is to help people discover a life that has purpose, deeply meaningful relationships, and joy. I fully believe in the benefits of not being alone while navigating the complexities of life. Virtually any issue confronting an individual can be addressed through counseling and turned into healing, empowerment, and continued inner strength. I view the therapeutic interactions with my clients as unique dynamic learning experiences in the healing process.

Life is hard. None of us get it right all the time. My goal for the therapeutic relationship is to provide you with the awareness and skills you will need to achieve the level of functioning you desire. I believe my job as your therapist is to work myself out of a job - by teaching you what I know, helping you apply it, assessing the results and adjusting where necessary.

I believe all humans are built with an innate ability and impulse to move towards health and personal growth. Therefore, I view my role as a therapist to serve as an assistant to these natural inclinations, and empower clients in removing barriers to a full-filling and value congruent life. Clients seeking to work with me have an internal desire for change and are willing to step into vulnerability and accountability within the safe and supported space of a therapeutic relationship.
