About Jyl
Jyl earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and a Master of Social Work from Boise State University. She has 17 years of clinical experience and spent eleven years running her own practice. That background includes work with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood challenges, and adoption and foster care issues.
Her style is strengths based and collaborative. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment perspectives to look at relational patterns and on mindfulness to build present-moment awareness.
In sessions Jyl starts by listening to what matters most and helping set clear, achievable goals. She offers concrete tools and practices that people can apply between meetings. The intention is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Clients describe the therapy process as a partnership where skills and insight grow over time. Jyl aims to make the work understandable and useful so people can manage stress, build self-esteem, and move through difficult life changes.
