Therapists in Boise, ID
I am an LCPC and RN. My therapy approach focuses on the body. The school of thought I practice from believes that when first faced with an overwhelming event, if unresolved, our body can hold onto the sensations of that initial reaction. A similar threat can recreate those physical sensations. Your body will then influence your emotions and beliefs as if you were back in that original moment. It's those times when your mind is telling you one thing, but your body is telling you something very different; I feel nervous but I don't know why. Somatic techniques can help link these making room for new insights and resolve.

Hello, I have been working in the field of mental health for 6 years and specifically been doing therapy and counseling for the last 3 and a half years. My belief is that life is too short to sit in a place of discomfort, let trauma control us, or to struggle with mental health continuously. I want to help you to process life experiences which may be causing you emotional pain and challenges. My focus is to support individuals in all phases of life to find healing and understanding in difficult situations through developing their personal strengths and processing negative symptoms.

I have openings! I enjoy working with people who are stuck, experiencing overwhelming emotional distress and who have experienced a loss of sorts. Sometimes experiencing emotional distress may manifest as feeling worn out, hopeless, or may also be masked as physical discomfort (think racing heart, shallow breathing, tense muscles). Major life transitions also impact our ability to regulate emotions in a helpful and adaptive way. If you find yourself experiencing emotional ups and downs and physical manifestations of emotional disturbances, know that there is a path towards healing. I also focus on nervous system regulation.

New clients welcome. I have a passion in working with young adults, teens, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. These experiences can often leave us feeling fragmented or disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I believe that great healing comes from a place of seeing and beginning to trust an alliance with ourselves. Together, we can pave the way back into the present moment with clarity, connection, and compassion. I am an empathetic and ever-learning counselor with a diverse skillset and strong degree of patience, knowledge, and self-reflection.
