I am a born and raised potato head – also see Idahoan – & the youngest of 5 boys & I have 6 boys! I attended Boise State University, where I played rugby & graduated with a B.A. in History in 1997. In 2012 I graduated with Honors from Northwest Nazarene University with my M.S. in Clinical Counseling. Prior to that I spent time in New Zealand (home of my Maternal Grandfather) & the Cook Islands which had a major impact on my life, how I think & how I perceive the world and people in it. These experiences have allowed me an opportunity to help my clients achieve their goals in our sessions.

People pleasing and perfectionist tendencies leaves us drained, resentful, and disconnected from who we are at the core. You may be fed up with the pressures and expectations of doing “all of the things”, feeling stretched too thin or wish you had the inner strength to make yourself a priority. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to commit to the change. You’re ready to kick self doubt to the curb. Most of all, you’re ready to embark on a journey towards peace and purpose.

These things can be overwhelming, but you do not have to go through them alone. You matter your feelings matter, your voice matters, and your unique qualities and strengths matter.

Everyone has struggles. It's part of being human. I see myself as a catalyst in the process towards change.

Are you struggling with a transition or other difficult situation? Are you having trouble knowing what you want to do next? Life transitions, however unanticipated or unwelcome, provide you with opportunities to examine the choices you've made so far and to create a more satisfying future. Unpleasant emotions (such as anger, sadness, or anxiety) can also provide you an opportunity to reconsider your beliefs and behaviors. Counseling can be the ideal place for you to sort out what you are feeling and want. However, it is vitally important that you find a counselor you like and trust in order to make change possible.

Hello and welcome! We strive at Boise Holistic Therapy to create a place where growth, ease and change is felt when you walk in or log in. We are down-to-earth and passionately committed to understanding your story so we can tailor support and help you evolve in the areas you want. Especially during a time when isolation is easily felt, therapy is a gift to give yourself to gain the opportunity to reflect and self-study. We specialize in relationship issues and recovery, EMDR and DBT therapy, trauma and PTSD, generalized anxiety, family of origin and attachment healing, gender & identity, depression, addiction and mood disorders.

Symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma can feel like they define you. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past without making much progress. Or maybe you are a new mom who feels like you are "going crazy" and are worried you will never feel like yourself again. I specialize in supporting pregnant and postpartum women along their unique journey. I know what it's like to feel stuck and unsure that you can get better. Whatever has brought you here, know that you will be welcomed and seen for who you are. And...that you hold within the power of choice to try something different- to move out of what is no longer serving you.

At Sage Creek Therapy we believe the relationship between the client and the therapist is the most important component of the counseling process. We do not believe in a "one size fits all" way of therapy. Everyone brings their own unique story and we work in a professional relationship with our clients to achieve the goals they set for themselves. We provide services for a variety of issues and concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, abuse, co-dependency, infertility, relationship concerns, grief, and trauma.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle that you can't get out of? Maybe with yourself , your relationship or family members? I specialize in a unique approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that helps people get out of negative cycles by processing troubling events, patterns, and feelings. I emphasize the importance of nurturing a space where clients can talk openly so they can achieve their interpersonal and therapeutic intention. I meet with individuals, teens, young adults, couples and families.

I am a Certified IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapist - welcoming the "parts" of you with courage to come to counseling AND any parts of you that are afraid or upset about that! IFS is a non-condemning model with a broad spiritual core helpful for depression, anxiety, healing from trauma, medical concerns and crises including cancer, chronic disease symptoms, and grief, and it works well over Telehealth/Video sessions! I teach Positive Discipline, help stressed parents dealing with defiance and power struggles, and I am ready to help with spiritual distress, shame, guilt, and burdens related to your life's traumas and regrets.

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 believe we are all trying to do our best. A SANE person knows when they are not coping well. (therapy is not about being 'crazy') The stress of day to day life can push any of us to the brink. I offer an empathic and confidential place for you to bring your troubles. Genuiness and respect are the essence of my practice. The benefits of therapy inlcude: increased self-confidence, increased self-awareness, a reduction of symptoms, and improved health. My goal is for you to leave feeling empowered.

Life and relationships can be difficult and messy. At times, help is necessary to find clarity and direction as we move toward the healthiest version of ourselves. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard as we work together to address the issues which brought you into counseling. Building on professional and personal life experiences, I engage in counseling collaboratively with acceptance for who and where you are while building a therapeutic relationship which becomes a catalyst for change. I utilize an eclectic theoretical approach which best meets the needs of each individual.

Being human is hard. Not only can it be hard but for many individuals being seen, heard and understood are missing from their life experience. I know what it is like to feel overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, confused, to live in unresolved trauma and how this existence can impact mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. I choose counseling as a way to serve others because I have experienced my own chronic and complex trauma. I provide gentle guidance to individuals actively living in their trauma, experiencing daily anxiety, cPTSD, mood disorders, and neurodivergent humans wanting to heal from ableism. There is hope.
