Individual Therapeutic Wellness Services for Women in Idaho.

My therapeutic approach integrates the importance of therapeutic trust and relationship with experiential and psychodynamic methods, which means I engage my clients in slowing down with our issues, symptoms, and problems to not only talk about them, but also experience them in real time. Allowing for our deeper, emotional knowings to come to light about what we experienced as our younger selves about how to survive or operate in our family systems have often been deep wired, or encapsulated into our nervous systems, which is why we catch ourselves repeating negative patterns we’ve tried so hard to change.

What if there was a way not to have to change your symptoms or issues through thinking differently, doing more coping skills (or learning more skills in general) and instead focusing on how we’ve learned to adapt to our lives through our emotional and relational experiences? And what if by doing so, we find that then new learning and adaptation (our ideal therapy goals and symptom reduction) may be reached?

By understanding these underlying motivations and adaptations driving your behaviors and emotions, we gain valuable insights into what has shaped your experiences—in order to access mental and emotional healing and growth.

In our sessions, I will support you in learning how to have a natural curiosity about your inner world that go below the surface of what we may already know. And as a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, we will also work together towards enabling you to reconnect with your body and regulate your nervous system on your terms. This method of focused mindfulness allows us to access and process emotions and encapsulated trauma memories in a way that promotes lasting change.

I also believe that authentic laughter and creativity can also play a vital role in therapy in strengthening the therapy process and experience. By weaving humor and metaphor into our sessions, we can ensure that the process feels organic while at the same time prioritizing your goals and having clarity on what you want to achieve. This isn’t just about check-ins!

If you would like to develop the ability to listen to yourself in new ways and release past shame, guilt, trauma and anxiety patterns from your present related to your present, I invite you to reach out.

Together, we can navigate the complexities of your inner world, and work towards achieving the emotional equilibrium and fulfillment you are seeking.
