Therapists in Idaho

Hello and congratulations on taking the first step towards improving your life! It can be unnerving to reach out to a stranger for assistance, knowing you may feel vulnerable in the process. I understand that! It is my goal to create a safe and supportive place for you to express your thoughts and feelings, and where we can work together to assist you in reaching your goals. I have over eighteen years experience working with people who are concerned about a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues, trauma and abuse issues, self-esteem issues, boundary issues, religious and crisis-of-faith issues and numerous other concerns. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Cedarville University and a Master’s degree from Liberty University. I am licensed in the State of Idaho. I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) counseling approaches most frequently, but I believe that no one counseling approach is appropriate for every person, so I will always strive to meet you where you are and assist you within a framework that best meets your needs. My style is warm, practical and down-to-earth. If you feel I might be able to assist you in reaching your personal goals, please reach out! I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and to provide support as you journey towards those goals!

Mental health is health. Taking care of your mental health is no different than taking care of your dental or physical health. Learning to manage your emotions and how to cope in a positive manner is just as important as taking good care of your body. When you feel ready to commit to working on your mental health I am here to provide a safe place to explore the barriers that are preventing you from living the life you truly want to live. I believe in whole-body wellness, and that healing comes from a place of both acceptance, and the willingness and openness to change. It takes courage to ask for help and support, and I want you to know that you don't need to do the hard work alone. Together, we can take those steps towards actively healing those emotional wounds, removing those internal barriers, and building up your confidence to ultimately reach your personal goals.
