Therapists Beginning With A in Idaho

I like clients that are unique, meaning I enjoy people's differences. I tend to create the treatment plan around the client and their needs rather than a cookie cutter type of treatment plan. I work with a wide range of clients from children and adolescents to couples therapy.

Conflict can come from within or from external sources. When there is conflict, one's balance is off which can drive feelings of depression and anxiety. Please contact me to support and encourage you in gaining insight into identifying and maintaining your personal balance.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are in need of support with life stressors, relationship challenges, emotional concerns and skills training to help manage everyday life challenges. I utilize a client focused approach where my first priority is always to develop a safe and comfortable relationship which serves as the basis to begin exploring the more challenging aspects of life and promote overall wellness. Ultimately, I want to help clients clearly identify specific obstacles, learn how to overcome them, and then move on to accomplish their goals.

The decision to seek out help for yourself or your child can feel overwhelming. Pursuing the support you need through counseling allows for a space to receive help and find healing. As a counselor, I believe my role is to assist clients in identifying their strengths, finding solutions, & becoming happy, healthy, and whole. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor & a Registered Play Therapist in Meridian, Idaho. While I use a variety of therapeutic approaches with clients of all ages, I specialize in play therapy with children ages 4-12. I also am passionate about working with parents of children with medical complexities.

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.

You may be struggling with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma history that impacts your current functioning...or you may be struggling with parenting challenges. I have experience working with individuals and families of all ages and walks of life. My experience is that people heal and grow in an accepting and encouraging relationship. My goal is to meet individuals where they are and build them up using strengths-based, humanistic, trauma-informed approaches. My clients can expect empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness from me. They can also expect the knowledge and wisdom of a seasoned therapist.

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.

My focus is providing a dedicated, safe space for those seeking support through life transitions. Transitions, whether they are welcomed or unexpected, are opportunities for reflection, for discovering a new authentic sense of self, and for challenging internal belief systems that often make change feel overwhelming or unbearable. My primary goal is to help clients find a renewed sense of purpose, balance, energy, and self-confidence.

The impact of depression, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and varying traumas that we have faced are just a few aspects that can hinder us from finding joy and freedom in our daily lives. You may be carrying heavy emotions that are weighing you down, facing difficulties and stress, or struggling to grapple with what the future holds or dreams that never became a reality.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes that we all possess the tools to adapt and overcome the many challenges in this journey called “Life.” My mission for my clients is to address their concerns by providing an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance, empathy, honesty, genuineness, and compassion. My focus is developing a strong therapeutic alliance, by fostering a trusting relationship between client and therapist to explore client's inner strengths, decrease negative symptoms, promote personal growth, expanding their emotional awareness, and arouse empowerment to unleash their limitless potential.

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.

For some seeing a counselor might seem intimidating, but in reality, it's an opportunity to be able to be your true self, in a safe space, with no judgment. I use the counseling technique that best suits each client. Many struggle, for example, with anxiety, depression, grief, stress or past trauma. It is possible to feel better.
