No one feels shame when they need an “adjustment” at the chiropractor and I see counseling that way—an adjustment in our thinking/functioning that we all need from time to time. Finding the right therapist is important and most of the power of therapy happens when you feel understood, validated, and appreciated. I have a warm and loving personality and I use a direct style to get to the heart of the problem. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother with a lifetime of good and bad experiences that allow me to empathize with a wide variety of people and challenges.

When daily life stressors occur it is common to feel overwhelmed. My greatest passion in life is to assist in the healing needed for those that have been through any form of hardship, reuniting that person with their thriving selves.

Aiding a client while they connect with that sense of inner peace and purpose in life can lead to a more fulfilling future. I am an advanced graduate student, pursuing my LPC counseling license, and I am located at The Counseling Center at Tree City in Boise.

Have you tried therapy in the past but found it lacking effectiveness? Then let's talk!

You live on an emotional roller coaster. You can't keep friends or a job. Hurting yourself feels better than hurting others. You question whether your life is worth living. Perhaps you diagnosed yourself on the internet or your doctor told you that you need something called "DBT." DBT is what I live and breathe.

The effectiveness of counseling boils down to the relationship between the client and counselor, which to me, is the most important aspect of the entire process. I strive to provide a comfortable, open, and safe environment which hopefully leads to a feeling of security where we can be honest and transparent. Finding meaning and purpose in life at times is difficult, my hope and vision is to foster a relationship where it becomes somewhat natural to discuss the obstacles in the way of attainting your true meaning in life. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who strive to become the best version of themselves.

I approach my work with the belief each of us deserves to be seen and heard. For many of us, the most important thing in life is to feel connected in a healthy and supportive way by those we care about. I have spent the last few years working with clients with histories of trauma incurred through relationships, be they family, romantic, platonic and/or professional. The work clients and I do together focuses on processing the impact of these relationships, development of coping skills to deal with current behaviors and moving forward with a healthier, well-balanced life.

As a counselor, I wholeheartedly support transformational healing for all clients. I practice from a person-centered, trauma-informed viewpoint with the aim of empowering my clients to not only choose to change but to embrace their change. I walk alongside clients in their journey towards hope and healing, utilizing a strengths-based approach, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and key concepts of both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

In my therapeutic work, I draw upon empathetic engagement and evidence-based methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to facilitate healing.
