Questions about
my practice?

Here are some of the most common (and important!) questions I get about working together.

  • My office for in-person sessions is located at 9482 Fairview Avenue, Boise, ID 83704. My office is inside Tranquility Counseling Service.

  • I always recommend meeting weekly, initially, and we’ll continue to assess your progress before changing up the frequency we meet.

    I’m not afraid to challenge my clients in the spirit of real healing.

    Our work will be collaborative as you are the expert of your life, so be prepared to take some action and I’ll lead you through it all.

    I strive to provide a nice balance between structure in a session and flexibility, to ensure we stay on track.

    Taking the time to build trust is essential, as I desire for you to reach new levels of vulnerability with me.

    I’m not big on “homework” per se as I want what we accomplish in sessions to be sustained and carried out into your world on a daily basis.

  • Cancellation or rescheduling of sessions must be made **at least 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE**. Late cancellations will be charged at the regular hourly fee of $155 to your credit card. This policy is strictly enforced and I thank you for your understanding.

    You will receive a reminder text and/or email 48 hours prior to each session time.

  • Our first session together will start with ensuring all the necessary “housekeeping” items are taken care of, i.e. your new client paperwork is complete (can’t start without it…), informed consent forms are read and signed, practice policies are reviewed, payment set up, etc.

    I have a 3-tiered on-boarding process for new clients. 1) we speak on the phone for your consultation; 2) you complete your new client forms as thoroughly as possible, which helps me chart our course for the first session, and; 3) we meet in person (or face to face virtually) so I can get even more details about you and your situation, as well as learn more about you as a person, your relationships and other areas you’d like to cover. At the end of our first time together, we will have some clear goals to work toward.

  • Trauma therapy is a unique and personal journey, and the duration of therapy can vary for every individual. Typically, the length of therapy is influenced by several factors - the nature and severity of your trauma, your individual goals, and your progress throughout the process. While some individuals may experience relief and significant progress in a relatively short period, others may find that more time is needed to address complex or deeply rooted trauma. It's important to view trauma therapy as a gradual and supportive process, allowing yourself space and grace to heal at your own pace. Consistent sessions and open communication with me about your goals and progress can help guide the therapeutic journey.
