Marriage Counseling Therapists in Boise, ID

I work with trauma, relationship issues, and other life challenges to help individuals achieve their goals. I've developed a deep understanding of the complex issues that individuals and couples face in their lives, and I'm committed to providing compassionate and personalized care to each of my clients. I take a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that every individual is unique and tailor my approach to each client's specific needs and goals.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I invite you to be courageous and work to start your journey towards becoming your authentic self. Gaining insight into your life can be a complicated process. Most people experience challenging times when dealing with change. Harriet Lerner once said, "What will never change is the will to change and the fear of change. It is the will to change that motivates us to seek help. It is the fear of change that motivates us to resist the very help we seek." If you are feeling a need for change in your life, I invite you to start the process of therapy to change your direction in life.

Therapy is a process, and my goal is to guide you toward a better understanding of yourself and your choices, values, emotions and relationships. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and takes courage to get started. My approach is based on your current struggles, concerns and personality style. Your goal as a client is to one day leave therapy with new insights, tools and strategies to live life to the fullest. I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2023; our office is quiet and comfortable with free parking on-site.

My ideal client is anyone of any age, background, or concern who is ready to have a safe space to work through their past and present, and move toward the future. You may have been working through things alone and area ready for help on your journey, or you may just be noticing that things are feeling too hard or too heavy to deal with alone. As long as you are ready to step into a safe space, and start the process, I am ready to help!

Who is that someone in your life that slows down to listen and has a desire to deeply understand what you are going through? I aim to be the nonjudgmental person that can hold space and the figurative mirror that allows you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and your life experiences. I enjoy working with teens and adults (individuals and couples), aiding them in processing relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, trauma, anxiety, and/or depression.

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.

Thank you for visiting my profile. My ideal client is someone who is motivated for change. I am a great listener and will give honest and direct feedback. Many times we have an idea of where we would like to be, we just need the tools in order to get there. As your therapist I can offer significant support and positive encouragement, while administering a therapeutic approach which involves a variety of evidence based techniques that provide you with the necessary skills for success.

Are you or a loved one struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions? Maybe life feels unmanageable at times? Perhaps you are going through a challenging chapter in life right now, or you have experienced trauma that is impacting your relationships or wellbeing? 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. There is no one-size-fits-all, no single answer. My approach will be catered to you, your needs, and what feels safe for you. It takes courage to ask for help and I am glad you are here.

I love to work with individuals to navigate a variety of issues including but not limited to, life-stage transitions, self-esteem, self-exploration, communication skills, and boundary setting. I enjoy to work with kids (ages 7+) and their families to navigate anxiety, depression, self-harm, school issues, behavioral issues, family conflict, etc. I also find it rewarding to work with couples in navigating relationship issues, building connection, communication issues, boundary setting, and overall improving relationships.

Navigating this thing called life is not easy. We all go through struggles and need a listening ear, reassurance, and help sometimes. It takes courage to take those first steps toward change as we seek to find a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, and increase their confidence. Through collaboration, I will assist you in identifying your stressors and coping strengths, as you build new skills and move toward healing and gaining a more balanced life.

As you look for a therapist you might feel very vulnerable, desperate, or fed up with your struggles. I want to help you, whatever your motivations are and however ready you are to change, whether you’re wondering if there’s a problem, you feel lost and confused, or you’re ready to change and you want to start today. At the beginning you might need a safe, accepting presence to help you view yourself clearly and with kindness. You might need someone to help you break free of painful patterns, sort out your feelings to make a tough decision, or make changes you keep trying to make but your efforts never seem to stick.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.

I specialize in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders that may occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

My desire to help people took me from Army Veteran to Certified Nursing Assistant to Drug/Alcohol Counselor to now a Licensed Master of Social Work. I am understanding, nonjudgmental, aware and direct. I focus on building excellent rapport with clients and creatively invoking conversation. I provide an environment where individuals feel safe and free to share. Clients can expect to be supported and cared for in sessions that are interactive and lean on fun when appropriate.
