Counseling and Therapy Services in Boise
The struggles of the human condition have always captivated me. I believe humans are built to survive – even the most grueling situations when hope feels lost or emptiness prevails. Perhaps we are forced to deal with things we cannot control or did not foresee. Sometimes surviving this means we adapt in ways that don’t serve us in the long run. This is when we need someone to journey into and out of the darkness with us. Peace and wholeness are your human rights. A supportive, encouraging, and restorative partnership is a means to that end. My relationship style works to support and develop your courage, while you create meaning and your own unique path.
I work with adults besieged with grief, PTSD, trauma (acute and historical), depression, anxiety, life transitions and those who find their past creeping into the present. EMDR is my primary and preferred modality. Although it began as a trauma therapy, EMDR is now used to treat a wide variety of struggles. It is both a tool and a lens for working though problems.
I received my Master’s in Social Work in 2011 from Boise State University and my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Virginia Tech in 1999. My professional career has spanned from college student development, through mental illness in children and adults, to homeless veterans and beyond. I am trained in trauma, cognitive behavioral, EMDR and person centered therapies. My personal life and professional studies have often centered on relationships, marriage, intimacy, parenting, sexuality, fertility, adoption and race. Being married to a first responder, I have a special interest in dealing with the EMS career stress that bleeds into personal and family life.
