Bio: I moved to Boise in 1995 from my home state in Wyoming. I attended Boise State University and Walden University. I earned my Masters Degree In Mental Health Counseling in 2013. My approach as a therapist is to use direct communication with clients along with empathy and compassion. I have tools to share to assist with symptoms of mental health and professional help using evidence-based practices with life changes and challenges. I work with individuals, couples, LGBTQ plus and I also am trained in EMDR to treat trauma, I have facilitated support groups in the past.

Counseling
Rather than particular techniques, the far greater predictors of positives outcomes are therapeutic relationships, or counselor qualities in therapeutic relationships that capitalize on clients’ internal strengths.
(Cochran & Cochran, 2015, p. 7)
We know from experience and the growing body of supportive literature that the therapeutic relationship a counselor forms with each client can be the most powerful tool for helping clients change.
