I am a Licensed MFT in both California and Idaho. I am located in Boise, Idaho and currently provide telehealth in both Idaho and California. Therapy should help you improve your life. Though it can take time to get the most out of therapy, my goal is that we see improvement all along the way in your ability to function and manage.
A significant percentage of my counseling experience has been working with people on the Autism spectrum (most often with those identifying as having Asperger's). We work together on how to navigate social and work life. I also focus on helping people learn how to manage better in their romantic relationships, which are often confusing and unsatisfying.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation via video conference (or by telephone, if you are not able to do video conference). We can talk over why you are interested in therapy, and there will be time to ask me some questions. This is important to do prior to starting therapy.
