Small, consistent actions can completely transform how your body handles stress. In this post, you’ll learn five simple somatic micro-habits—short, body-based practices that help regulate your nervous system, restore calm, and build resilience throughout the day.

I never set out to work with teens — but they found me. Over the years, I’ve seen how powerful it is for teens to have a safe space to talk, explore, and learn skills for navigating life. Here’s why this work matters, and how therapy can help your teen feel more confident and supported.

Brainspotting has been one of the most transformative tools I’ve added to my practice. It goes beyond talk therapy, helping the body and nervous system release what words alone can’t reach. In this post, I share why I chose Brainspotting, how I use it with clients, and the profound ways it’s supported my own healing.

As a holistic and integrative mental health therapist in Boise, I combine evidence-based practices like MCBT, DBT, Brainspotting, and breathwork to support the whole person—mind, body, and nervous system.

When I asked ChatGPT to describe my counseling practice, I was surprised by how well it captured the heart of what I do—helping adults and teens move from overwhelm to balance by blending counseling, brainspotting, and somatic practices like yoga and breathwork. My hope is always that clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal in ways that last.

Anxiety Management is a gentle, 4-week online therapy group for Idaho adults navigating stress, overwhelm, or burnout. Rooted in Polyvagal Theory and breath-based nervous system tools, this group offers a supportive space to explore healing—whether or not you’ve been diagnosed with anxiety. It’s for anyone ready to feel more grounded, clear, and in control.

Healing doesn’t only happen in one direction. Talking through your experiences (top-down) can bring clarity, but sometimes your body still carries the weight. Body-based therapies (bottom-up) can bring release, but without words, the meaning can feel unfinished. Real change often happens when the two meet — when your mind and body begin working together. That’s the kind of bi-directional healing I offer: a space where both your story and your body’s wisdom are honored.

Clients were learning the tools, but still feeling stuck in their bodies. That’s what led me to Kundalini Yoga—a breath-based practice that supports nervous system regulation naturally. In this post, I share why I added it to my practice, how it blends with my therapy work, and what our new Kosmik Mind events (with ceremonial cacao) are all about.

Anxiety can be isolating. Even when surrounded by others, it’s easy to feel like no one truly understands the inner tension, overthinking, or nervous system overwhelm that anxiety brings. But here’s the truth: you are not alone—and healing doesn’t have to happen alone either.

Group therapy offers a unique and powerful form of support. It brings people together who are navigating similar challenges, creating a safe space to feel seen, heard, and supported.
