About My Clients
Though I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life, I particularly enjoy helping adults, couples, & families interested in relationship-building, enhancing communication, or desiring assistance with life transitions (marriage, pregnancy, separation/divorce, new parenting, re-connection, blended families, job change, grief/loss, incarceration/re-entry).
My Background and Approach
My approach with clients is empathic, supportive, and curious. In the time we spend together, I aim to get to know the true you as best as possible and align with what your goals are for your life. I work from a place of mutual accountability and collaboration as each person is unique and may benefit from a slightly different approach. I understand that therapy is an investment in personal growth, and I commit to empowering my clients toward meaningful change throughout their time spent working with me. I hold a BA in Psychology and a MA in Marriage & Family Therapy. I attended school and completed most of my post-graduate training in Los Angeles, CA before moving to Boise, ID in 2015. Over the last 10 years I have worked in a variety of settings including a non-profit, a residential facility for teens, a middle school, an integrative primary care office, and a community mental health clinic prior to opening my private practice in 2019.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I enjoy supporting those who are interested in relationship-building, enhancing communication, improving family interactions, uncovering identity/purpose, or desiring assistance with life transitions such as becoming a parent or seeking a career change. My education and training are based in marriage and family therapy theories, and thus I view my clients in the context of their relationships. In initial sessions with me, we will explore your family history and other important relationships in your life. Relationships can be our safest haven or the root of pain and trauma. Often, what we learned from our primary relationships as children predict how we interact in our relationships as adults—whether it’s with friends, colleagues, romantic partners, or other family members. Understanding these dynamics can lead to a greater sense of self-worth and more meaningful connections with others.
