Why Do I Work With Helpers?

In 2015, when I launched my private practice, I never planned to focus on healers, helpers, and caregivers. My initial aim was to work with teenagers, LGBTQ+ individuals, and relationship therapy (check out my full work history below if you're curious). I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of people across individual, relational, family, and group settings. But when I reflected on who I was most effective at working with and what topics sparked my passion, it became clear: I thrive on supporting overwhelmed and burned-out healers, helpers, and caregivers, using deep self-reflection and boundaries to guide them.

Bonus points if we can tell it like it is, drop some F-bombs, and laugh while we work.

I earned my Psychology degree from Purdue University with a research focus on Child Psychology, Mother-Child Attachment, and Stereotyping and Prejudice.
I started as a crisis hotline volunteer and became Shelter Staff at the Domestic Violence Intervention and Prevention Program (DVIPP).

After college, I worked in various community service roles with the YWCA, including youth services and DVIPP.

I moved to Colorado (the first time).

After one year in Colorado, I moved to Fargo, North Dakota, and began my Master's in Human Development and Family Science with a Specialization in Couple and Family Therapy at North Dakota State University (NDSU).
I was the Safe Zone Coordinator and Director of LGBTQ Programs at NDSU.
As a Student Therapist, I worked with individuals, couples, and families at the Family Therapy Center.
As a Family Therapy Intern at Luther Hall, I provided individual, group, and reunification family therapy for adolescents and their families.
I completed my thesis exploring what encourages people with privilege to confront prejudice directed toward others.
In 2015 I graduated with 4.0 GPA.

After graduating I moved to Colorado (the second time) and became a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (MFTC).
After providing independent contracting therapy for a private practice in Conifer, CO, I opened my private practice called Boes Therapy Services, specializing in working with Adolescents, LGBTQ Folks, Women, and Relationships.

I became an Adjunct Instructor at the University of Colorado, Denver, in the Human Development & Family Relations Department teaching LGBTQ Families, Families in a Global Perspective, and Sex, Human Development, & Family Systems.

I completed the requirements to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Colorado.

I joined the Counseling Program at the University of Colorado, Denver, as an Honorarium Faculty member. In this role, I offered live supervision, individual supervision, and group supervision for Student Therapists, and I taught Postmodern Family Therapy Theories.

I began offering 1:1, 2:1, and group supervision to post-graduates seeking their LMFT or LPC.

I completed the requirements to become an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Approved Supervisor.

I transformed Boes Therapy Services into Guided Journey Therapy to more accurately represent my focus on supporting healers and caregivers as they navigate their paths of deep self-reflection and boundary setting.
