Therapy That Moves With You

Helping high-functioning adults move from survival mode to a life of clarity, calm, and connection — in the office, online, or outdoors.

Start Now

Because "fine" isn't the same as fulfilled.

You’re holding it together — mostly. You show up for work, friends, and family… maybe even remember to water your plants. But under the surface, you’re tired. Stuck. Running on autopilot without the joy or spark you used to have.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to start feeling better. Here, therapy might happen in an office… or it might happen walking the foothills, paddleboarding the river, or moving under an open sky. Because sometimes, the best breakthroughs happen outside four walls.

My Unique Approach

At Flowing Connections Counseling, therapy is tailored to your life. Sometimes that means a quiet, focused office session. Other times, it’s adventure therapy — walking, hiking, biking, or paddleboarding while we talk.

Movement and nature help untangle thoughts, lower stress, and create space for clarity. Whether in-person, online, or outdoors, every session is designed to help you feel calm, connected, and capable again.

Offerings

Meet face-to-face in a comfortable, private setting in Boise to focus on your mental health and personal growth.

I work with anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, and more.
