Therapists in Boise, ID

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While I can't change difficult situations of the past, We can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Using therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be keeping you from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

I am committed to fostering hope and healing through the therapeutic relationship. Each client is a unique individual, and I tailor the therapeutic relationship towards individual needs and concerns.

No matter your circumstance, psychotherapy can have a positive impact on your life and your relationships. It is my hope to act as a guide for those that are ready to achieve healing in their lives. I seek to work collaboratively with clients to explore the best tools for each unique situation. While I am competent in using ACT, DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Systems Therapy, Solution Focused Brief therapy, Somatic and Polyvagal Therapy, working with me is more than a manual. I know each client has a unique modality or evidence based practice that will be the best fit.

Being a kid in this world is difficult! Life has only just started, and for a child/teen, it can feel like things are not going the way one thought and that life is all about what you can or cannot do. Whether it be trying to figure out how to communicate, learning emotions and how to express them, learning boundaries, wanting to vent, or even trying to understand how to interact with the world socially, I am someone who will be on your team to help!

As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I work to foster an accepting, positive, and open atmosphere in my counseling practice, and I am glad to help any client that wants to create upward and forward momentum in his or her life. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and attorney with 14 years of clinical experience and 24 years of criminal and family law experience. My counseling practice includes working with adults, children, couples, and families on a variety of issues.

I help my clients understand the logic behind their emotions. Once they understand how their mind (logic) and heart (emotions) work, they are better able to use their new tools to reduce or stop depression, worries, pain, and relationship problems. Marriages improve and children behave better once these principles are put into place. They learn how to meet their needs in a healthier way and break the abusive cycles of behavior. I work with couples, families and individuals of all ages with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, parenting and relationship issues.

Life seems to be about meeting people, developing relationships, and leaving and letting go of those same important relationships. I've been a therapist for twenty years and more and am still amazed and humbled by the healing power of the therapeutic relationship.
