EMDR & Trauma Therapy for Adults
In-Person Therapy in Boise, Idaho • Online Therapy in Idaho & Arizona
A grounded, compassionate space to heal the roots, not just manage the symptoms.
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
You may be considering therapy for many different reasons. Often, it’s not just one thing — it’s a combination of experiences, emotions, and patterns that no longer feel sustainable. I offer in-person therapy in Boise, Idaho, as well as secure telehealth services for adults in Idaho and Arizona.
-
You may be navigating the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, infertility, divorce, or a season of life that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. Even when grief isn’t visible to others, it can feel heavy, isolating, and difficult to carry alone. Therapy can provide space to process loss gently and at your own pace.
-
You may be struggling with the lingering effects of trauma, betrayal, or emotionally painful experiences that continue to impact how you feel, relate, or see yourself. This can include childhood wounds, relational trauma, infidelity, or experiences that still feel unresolved. EMDR and trauma-informed therapy can help reduce distress and support meaningful healing.
-
You might feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected — even if things look “fine” on the outside. Perhaps you’re caught in patterns you don’t understand, struggling with anxiety, or feeling unsure about next steps in your life or relationships. Therapy can help you gain clarity, feel more grounded, and begin moving forward with greater confidence.
WELCOME!
I believe you deserve relief from pain and hope for healing.

My Services
-
Individual therapy is provided via secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. Sessions are easy to access from your laptop or smartphone, so you can engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that supports the brain’s natural ability to heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. It helps reprocess painful memories so they can be integrated with less emotional intensity over time. EMDR sessions are paced carefully for safety, stability, and readiness.
-
When trust is broken in a close relationship, the impact can feel disorienting and deeply painful. Betrayal trauma therapy focuses on restoring safety, understanding emotional responses, and rebuilding self-trust and boundaries. Each step is taken at a pace that supports stability and healing, with an emphasis on gentle, trauma-informed care.
-
Grief affects every part of life—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Counseling provides space to understand and express loss, explore meaning, and learn ways to move through the experience without pressure or timelines. The goal is not to erase grief, but to find ways of carrying love and loss together with greater steadiness and care.
-
Women experience many emotional and physical transitions across their lifespan—from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and menopause. These shifts can affect mood, identity, and relationships in ways that often go unseen. Therapy offers space to process these changes, strengthen self-compassion, and develop tools for balance and emotional wellbeing. Together, we explore how hormonal, relational, and life transitions intersect, helping you feel more grounded and supported through each stage.
