Teletherapy for Boise - Portland, OR
We are all shaped by the worlds we live in, by our communities, our experiences, and our identities. I learned early on that my experiences were not always the same as those around me. This has given me both awareness & a particular interest in understanding how people navigate the changes involved in starting over, whether that is in a new place, a new job, or new relationships. My goal as a therapist is to help you do more things you want to in your life, despite the pain and distress that you may experience.

As a counselor, my goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed space to process complex emotions while also challenging old patterns of behavior that are no longer serving my clients. My approach to therapy is collaborative. Together we can uncover strengths, foster coping tools to improve daily functioning and quality of life. I am a psychodynamic, attachment-based therapist, which means we will explore past experiences including messages about self, others, and the world and how they can be hindering current patterns and overall well-being.

What we are looking for in life is often right in front of us yet, we often lack the ability to see it. In contemporary society, many of us are head strong putting the mind and thoughts above the body and feelings. In this manner, we may lose ourselves in a world of mental illusion. When we are able to access our inner nature, comprised in part of our instincts, aptitudes, and intuition, we are more equipped to be self-guided in life and able to achieve balance and wholeness for ourselves.

It can be incredibly difficult to live a fulfilling life when your mind seems to be working against you. Most of the people I work with struggle with repetitive and unwanted thoughts, images, and emotions. As a result, their lives have unintentionally become more focused on avoiding certain thoughts or feelings and less focused on connecting with their loved ones, values, and life goals. As a therapist, I find it incredibly rewarding to help people learn and practice effective strategies that get them back to doing more of what gives their lives meaning.

I think of my approach to helping people as a collaborative and educational one. Most people who come in for therapy are wanting to make a change in their lives but are struggling in some manor. I feel that the best way to implement change is through one's thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors-this kind of approach is known as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT).
A person needs to welcome the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind - These are the cognitive and behavioral aspects of CBT.

When mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or trauma arise, we can become consumed by painful thoughts and emotions. We might feel misunderstood, different, and too scared to share what we're experiencing for fear of judgment—even from those closest to us. As isolation deepens, these emotions grow stronger, making it harder to seek help. We may pull away from activities that once brought joy, feeling stuck and hopeless, and begin to wonder if there’s something "wrong" with us, searching for a way to “fix” what's happening inside.
