Hello! Thanks for looking into me as a potential counselor. I have worked as a counselor since 2015. I have practiced as a mental health counselor, career counselor, academic counselor, and family counselor. I've worked to help people with issues from life/career direction issues and workplace issues to anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Additionally, I am a counselor educator so I teach counseling courses to counselors-in-training. I believe there are some common elements of counseling that can help most people grow and overcome challenges. I support your growth by helping you better understand your thoughts and emotions, move towards trusting yourself, honestly and authentically living your life, and supporting you to accept the responsibility for your life direction. Counseling is not easy, but it is worth the hard work. Life can be more meaningful than just surviving each day. It can be infused with hope, meaning, and thoughtful direction. I believe our work together can help you move towards this way of living. I would be happy to work with you if you feel that my experience and beliefs connect for you!

There are a variety of approaches in counseling and I will work with you to find the one that works best for you.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, addictions, and career challenges.

I have experience in helping clients with complex mental and personality struggles, healing from trauma, as well as codependency issues primarily, yet I have built a diverse skill set in many other areas. I believe it is our subconscious that dictates much of our lack of motivation, our shame blockages, our codependent habits, and more. Once we gain access to this, we can build a healthier internal dialogue into our bodies, which will give us access to further embodiment and peace of mind.

I am licensed in Idaho with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & coping with life changes. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I work with my clients to create an open and supportive environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My skills and techniques for talk therapy, adapted through years of school counseling and my own practice, have formed to showcase compassion, humor and the desire to help others in self-discovery. It is a modern therapy approach that highlights the three aspects of our being: mind, body and soul. Understanding these, the relationships within our body and outside of our body are crucial to re-discovering our true, authentic self. It isn't easy work, but the commitment from both the client and myself, to approach hard times with an openness and willingness is fundamental. Talk therapy and goal-setting, with intention to understand our gut-feeling, but most importantly, trust it, is my approach at helping navigate life's tricky situations. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am eager to start this journey with you!
