You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling with worry and stress, to adjust to a change in your life, with miscommunication and disconnection in your relationship, with confusion and/or dissatisfaction about your career, to feel confident in who you are, or cope with deeply challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You may be fed up with demands placed on you at work, home, and in your relationships, feeling unable to advocate for yourself or find a sense of balance, or thinking that you're broken in some way. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to live a life based on your terms and which fulfills you.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is a warm, knowledgeable collaborator, because therapy should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Sessions with me are based around your unique needs and preferences. I utilize a variety of modalities and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, trauma-informed, person-centered, dialectical behavioral, and even EMDR, depending upon your situation. Together, we create balance and hope. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don't feel ready to be.
I am licensed in Idaho and California with 6 years of professional work experience working with individuals who are struggling and in need of support. As an experienced therapist who has worked with many adults struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties, I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. You can create a life that fulfills you. You don’t have to continue feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or powerless, and you don’t have to do it alone. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
