online COUNSELING in IDAHO

For deep-thinking, high-achieving adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost themselves

Make space for yourself in a life that asks a lot, with support that helps you move forward with clarity.

You’ve been holding a lot. It’s okay to want something more.

You’re thoughtful. Capable. Resilient.

The one people count on.

But the strongest parts of you are tired.

You might feel like you’re doing everything right, and still… something feels off.

Maybe you’ve learned how to hold it all together for everyone else. But haven’t had space to fall apart, or even pause, for yourself.

And if you had a magic wand?

You might...

  • Feel more at ease in your own mind and body

  • Stop second-guessing every decision

  • Let go of guilt when you rest

  • Feel more present with yourself and the people you care about

  • Trust yourself again

  • Stop carrying beliefs that don’t belong to you

This is possible.

This kind of relief doesn’t come from magic. It comes from being deeply seen, gently challenged, and no longer having to hold it all together.

As a trauma-informed counselor in Idaho, I offer online therapy for adults who’ve learned to keep going, even when part of them is quietly falling apart.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Hi, I’m Sara (she/her).

I’m not the kind of therapist who nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?”

I’m warm, intuitive, and fully present. And when the moment’s right, I’ll gently challenge you in a way that still feels safe and supportive.

Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen. That they can bring the hard things. That something in them relaxes, even when it hurts.

That’s not an accident. It’s the kind of space I’ve spent years learning how to hold, in the therapy room, and long before I ever became a counselor.

Who I Work With

How to Start

Beginning counseling can feel overwhelming. Especially when you’re already carrying so much. This is a space where you get to go at your own pace, ask questions, and feel supported from the very beginning.

1

Free Consultation

A 20-minute call to see if we’re a good fit

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and whether my approach feels right for you. No pressure, just connection.

2

Personalized Collaboration

Sessions shaped around your needs, not a formula

Together, we’ll co-create a pace and focus that honors your insight, sensitivity, and inner process. You’ll never be expected to go somewhere you’re not ready to go.

3

Sustainable Growth

Deep work that honors your nervous system

This isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building lasting change, grounded in self-trust, clarity, and your own inner wisdom.

You Don’t Have To Carry It Alone

If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck, I’d be honored to support you.

Together, we’ll create a compassionate space where your inner wisdom guides you toward clarity, self-trust, and meaningful change.

Sensitivity, deep thinking, and high achievement aren’t flaws. They’re your compass. Let’s learn how to follow them.
