Therapists in Downtown, Boise, ID

Counseling can be both an exciting and scary adventure kind of like getting on a rollercoaster, delighted for the ride but filled with butterflies. You’re looking for acceptance, and connection. You feel unloved, alone, or fight to understand your emotions. You desire the ability to stand up for yourself, create healthy relationships, and set boundaries. With the ever-growing pressure of societal expectations, you aim for perfection but often fall short of the finish line. The word balance brings hope; you ache for the ability to feel firmly rooted in who you are, gracefully adjust to change, and find steadiness in your thoughts.

Do you struggle connecting to your body, trusting your intuition? Do you feel "stuck" in old patterns and can't quite see how to break free from them? So many individuals right now are struggling to find their authentic power, and live a life that is supportive of their dreams. Our work together will invite you deeper into the present moment, and meet life from a grounded and embodied perspective. Together, we discover the old stories of the unconscious mind and transform them through the body to a new story of who you truly are, beyond all the ego identities and labels.

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.

Premera In Network. I know how much strength it requires to make the decision to seek a therapist. It’s important to make time for mental self-care just like you would schedule a workout or physical. Sometimes we all need a little extra help or an outside perspective. My goal is that you will feel welcomed, accepted, and validated by being your true self with me. If you are seeking to heal toxic patterns or to implement positive changes toward new growth, I provide a non-judgmental, safe place for you to explore the changes that are healthiest and doable for you. I am a skilled listener who offers unconditional acceptance and hope.

For the last twenty years, I have worked in the field of mental health, special education, and substance abuse treatment. I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges.

I also work extensively with individuals with histories of trauma.

I have worked extensively for the past ten years with individuals who have various mental health diagnosis. I enjoy working with families/couples in finding a resolve to the struggles we face daily as well as with children who are living with unresolved past traumas. I love working with children utilizing play therapy techniques and watch them begin their healing process. I offer EMDR for treating past traumas, anxiety and depression both with children and adults.

I believe that in therapy, the focus should first be on learning to gain acceptance of ourselves. I feel that our beliefs about ourselves are paramount because they shape the beliefs that we have about other people and in turn, the rest of our environment. After we identify the beliefs about ourselves that need to be adjusted, we can work on how to improve those beliefs, which will improve our interactions with others and the way that we see the world. I look forward to helping others with that process.

Looking for someone to be in your corner? I can help with immediate pressing needs, highlight strengths and areas for growth, and collaborate on goals until they are achieved. What kind of therapeutic space do you prefer? I can hold the gentle, provide a light push, or be direct. We can move through your current issue together and learn how to boost your awareness, confidence, and skills. Let's team up and help you grow and thrive beyond counseling. I'm happy to meet with you for a free consult.

Therapy does not have to be long and exhaustive to be effective. Short-term treatment can be helpful for situations such as life transitions, grief, situational depression, anxiety, and a slew of other life challenges. Therapy should be as normal as going to the doctor for a checkup. I like to think of it as a “cleaning out the closet.” Sometimes, we must dust things off and deal with our emotional “stuff” before breathing. Other times, we may have already done a “deep cleaning” but need to “freshen up.” I am here to help.
