With daily stressors, life transitions, and complicated relationships, many of us can benefit from therapy at one point or another. Counseling services can offer the tools necessary to manage stress, communicate in a healthy way with a loved one, and even cultivate a sense of inner peace. 

When looking for a therapist, Nampa, ID may offer more options than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. In the mental health field, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and therapeutic techniques available. Which therapeutic approach will be most effective depends on the behavioral challenges being addressed, as well as personal preferences. The resources you need may not necessarily be available nearby. 

This is where online therapy can help. BetterHelp is a platform that offers access to therapists in the Nampa, ID area that specialize in a number of therapies, and have experience working with diverse populations. Fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your individual needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho and in South Dakota. I have worked as a Counselor since 2015. I completed my Masters of Science in Mental health Counseling with Walden University. I have operated a private practice for the past 6 years that is person-centered in approach with Client therapy. My therapy style is seeing a person suffering from a disorder / issue not seeing the person as the disorder. I use a mix of techniques when working with Clients in order to create the best fit for each individual's personal growth. I have worked with adults with anxiety, depression, grief and addiction and helped them in coping with life changing transitions. I don't take credit for Client growth, since it takes a lot of courage from a Client to make changes when needed. I see myself as a helper / teacher of skills / objective entity for feedback in providing guidance for Client growth. I do what I can to help the Client learn how to become the change they want to be. I have experience in working with individuals, couples & families. I work with adults suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, addiction and substance use, grief, and relationship issues. I work with Clients to educate on the use of healthy coping skills for anger management, self-esteem building, self-confidence improvement and every day issues. I use techniques form Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy, Psycho-educational, Matrix, and Solution-focused therapy.

Inner peace is something that many of us seek, but sometimes we feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior (that’s often handed to us early on) that make life feel challenging. Building awareness of our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors can open the doorway to practicing new ways of being in the world that cultivates inner peace. This is the journey that I seek to help others on. I especially enjoy working with those seeking to cultivate healthy relationships with themselves and others, those going through spiritual transitions and healing religious trauma, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. In my work, I often help clients tease out the unhealthy messages they may have internalized from cultural and familial dynamics. My hope for the clients that I work with is that, through deepening awareness and boldly trying new perspectives and behaviors, they will bit by bit begin to see true positive change in their emotional experiences and relationships.
