Live Your Connected Life
Online Counseling for Adults Across Idaho
Does any of this sound familiar?
You want to connect with your friends and family, but you don’t have the energy
You are a responsible, hard worker, but you feel like a failure inside
You are noticing your self-talk is more critical than usual
You feel more “on edge”, and “short” lately
You are the strong and dependable one, and you can’t let anyone down
It feels like your past just keeps catching up with you
Counseling for when you feel a loss of connection to yourself and others.
You thought you had found enough ways to cope and get through the day. But your inner voice keeps telling you that you need to do more. And no matter what you do, it still doesn’t feel like enough. You’re tired of feeling bad about yourself. It’s exhausting to mask and pretend to be fine when you aren’t. You’re losing trust in yourself and your intuition. You overthink and second guess everything.
Clients who see me are hardworking and conscientious. And more often than not, they are very hard on themselves. They frequently don’t acknowledge or see their strength and resilience.
Unresolved trauma and anxiety often affect them more than they let on. Shame and self-criticism become the norm. It feels like the past is repeating itself with no end in sight.
Before reaching out, you might be wondering if it will be worth it. You are worth it!
What I know is that trauma and anxiety can leave you feeling stuck and unworthy, full of self-limiting beliefs. You don’t have to keep struggling while acting like you’re fine.

The Internal Family Therapy (IFS) Approach
I work from an IFS lens. I have found it to be the most effective and common-sense way of healing. IFS is an evidence-based approach that is used for trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and more. It is non-pathologizing and allows healing in more curious and compassionate way.
IFS recognizes that we all have different parts inside ourselves, with many different voices, thoughts and feelings. Each individual has the inner resources to heal deep emotional wounds, and gain insight into their emotions and behaviors while building healthier connections with others.
Through IFS you will build a relationship with parts of yourself that may be causing anxiety, self-criticism or people-pleasing. You help them to transform through your connection as a naturally compassionate self. You create more internal balance and harmony which helps parts to do the same externally.
