My counseling philosophy involves allowing a client to be themselves and working to meet them "wherever they may be on their own self discovery journey". I have been in the counseling field for over 20 years and have tremendous experience working with several populations. I have learned that individuals have the innate capacity to grow and become their best selves, given an environment in which they can do so. Asking for help to do this can be very difficult. Regardless of the obstacles in your life, you have the capacity to move forward. I am a LCPC in Boise, Idaho and have experience working with individuals, couples, addictions, past trauma, anxiety, refugees, grief and loss, mood disorders, depression, gender issues, and much more. My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, as well as several other approaches. If you are self-searching or addressing issues causing you struggles, consider improving your self-growth through counseling in a safe, accepting, and therapeutic environment.

Welcome to my site. I have been working with adolescents and young adults for over 16 years. I work with teens, young adults and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, disorder eating, OCD, phobias, ODD, suicidal ideation, ADHD, relationship issues, addiction issues, or family conflict. My therapeutic relationship with my clients is not formal therapist in a suit taking notes but more personal and informal. At times, kids have a hard time being drawn out, they aren't sure how to put their feelings into words, I am very good at helping them become comfortable expressing what's happening in their inner world. I work with clients using DBT skills, CBT exercises and talk therapy. I am open to collaborating with parents, with the client's consent, if that is deemed helpful by the teen or young adult client. Or it may be helpful for parents to see someone on our Parent Support Team in our practice. My style is active and engaging. We get to work each session to uncover what is happening for your adolescent or young adult and get to the heart of what's really going on to cause the mental health issues they are struggling with.

You’re stressed and filled with anxiety. Your thoughts are negative and you lack self-confidence. Intrusive thoughts keep distracting you from what you need to do each day. You worry too much - maybe you've even become worried about how much you worry. Do you want to learn to lower the volume of the anxiety? Do you hope to gain some perspective about all the worries keeping you awake at night? Have you tried to manage emotions by stuffing them deep inside? Or maybe your emotions are all over the place and you aren't sure what you are feeling. There is hope! It is possible to retrain your brain and to develop different ways of thinking about life. I can help you become more aware of the connection between thoughts and feelings. We can work together on putting words to emotions. I would love to work with you and help you learn to manage these thoughts and stressful emotions. I have years of experience beginning with a background leading Christian recovery groups and now as a licensed counselor offering private therapy services. I offer telehealth services via video to adults living in Mississippi or North Carolina. Telehealth only - insurance accepted for NC clients only at this time. Call or email for more information.

I believe therapy is a way to enrich life and develop connection in a space with compassion and free of judgment. My methods involve treating the whole person, mind, body & spirit. I believe it is important to identify and process emotion, non-verbal communication, somatic expressions and subconscious processes. Memories play a part in how our brains process and store meaning to life. Misinterpreted meaning sometimes becomes internalized and leaves us with unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As we work together we process those memories leaving undesired mind/body connections behind. I provide teletherapy services only. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems parts work to find the maladaptive thoughts and beliefs your past has developed in you. You’ve already taken a big step towards your healing journey just by being here. Please feel free to reach out via email, phone, or text whichever feels most comfortable for you.
