Grief Therapists in Boise, ID

For many of us life brings about unexpected changes and loss. In the midst of change we often find ourselves struggling to sleep, eat or make the healthy choices we wish we would. We may find ourselves shutting down, numbing out or we keep busy, never slowing down. We try everything within our strength to ignore, run from or avoid our pain. What would happen if we stopped, found a safe person, in a safe space to turn and face our pain and begin to heal?

Disclaimer: For Clients from Idaho, sessions will be ONLINE only. People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

I view each client as a unique individual and realize that no matter what their presenting concerns are their life experience is distinctly their own. I believe we each have the ability to discover the answers to the concerns and problems that trouble us. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges you face. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing more fulfilling relationships and happiness in your life.

Through a relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine positive regard we can look at life's situations in this present moment with understanding of what is important to you in order to gain new perspectives and counteract faulty logic. Together the counseling process becomes successful. Walking through life can be especially difficult for those who have been mistreated within relationships, those who are struggling to find hope after a loss, or those going through a rough time. May this be a stop on your journey, where you can develop flexibility in the counseling relationship, and can continue on this magnificent road.

I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.
