Let’s Clear Things Up.

Anxiety counseling with me is practical, down-to-earth, and yes, sometimes funny. We’ll figure out what’s fueling your anxiety, whether it’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, panic, or a brain that won’t shut off at 2 a.m. Then we’ll use evidence-informed tools like CBT to calm your body, challenge anxious thoughts, and baby-step toward real change. Sessions are available in person at my Boise office near Ann Morrison Park or by video anywhere in Idaho.

If worry is running the show, it’s time. Maybe you’re overthinking every email, lying awake replaying conversations, avoiding things you used to enjoy, or feeling on edge even when life looks fine on paper. Many of my clients are high-functioning Boise professionals who have been white-knuckling it for years. You don’t have to wait for a panic attack or a crisis to get support. Feeling stuck is reason enough.
-
Yes. Anxiety rarely shows up alone. Many of the clients I see in Boise and across the Treasure Valley are also dealing with burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, or panic attacks. We’ll look at how these patterns feed each other, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build the confidence to stop over-functioning. The goal is a life that feels calmer and more manageable, not more perfect.
-
My background is in academic advising, and my college had the best counseling program around. I was interested in human development and existentialism, which aligned perfectly with studying counseling. I cherished my instructors, and excelled at connecting with clients easily and quickly.
-
Yes. What you share in session stays between us. I follow HIPAA and my profession’s ethical codes to protect your privacy. The exceptions are limited: a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or a court order. Your employer won’t know you’re in counseling unless you tell them, and my Boise office is in a quiet professional building with discreet, easy parking. Have questions? Just ask.
-
Yes. “Counseling” and “therapy” are often used interchangeably. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I provide the same evidence-based care you'd get from a therapist, focused on practical tools and real change.
-
Yes, for video sessions. I’m in-network with a range of plans in Idaho, California, and Texas. Private pay is also available for both video sessions and in-person sessions at my Boise office. You can see the plans I accept on my insurance page.
-
It depends on what’s driving your anxiety and what you want to change. Many clients feel some relief early on as they start using practical tools, then use later sessions to make those changes stick. We’ll check in on progress regularly so you always know where things stand.
