My Story

I've been working as a licensed professional counselor in Idaho, Wyoming and Alaska since 2007. I started my Idaho practice in Meridian in December of 2019 and moved my office to Middleton, ID in October of 2024. Prior to moving to Idaho I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 10 years. While living in Fairbanks, I worked at a group home facility for teens and then started my first private practice. Prior to moving to Fairbanks I lived in Cheyenne, WY where I worked at an outpatient clinic as a substance abuse counselor.

I have learned so much from each position I've held over the years but have found that I have a strong preference for owning my own practice and being my own boss. While I certainly embrace the necessity of exploring the past to support peace in the moment, I find my practice focusing more and more on increasing positive emotions in the here and now. I absolutely love being a counselor and feel so much gratitude for all of the amazing and inspiring people I have had the opportunity to work with.

Populations I Serve:

I provide counseling for adults, couples and adolescents. I specialize in treating people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, grief and loss, OCD, relationship issues, anger and stress management, Seasonal Affective Disorder and major life transitions. My goal is to support clients in making sustainable change by increasing self awareness, self compassion, personal ownership and holistic well-being.

Theoretical Orientation:

I've been practicing since 2007 and employ Mindfulness Training, Cognitive Therapy and a specialized form of Trauma Therapy called Brainspotting. I am certified as an ADHD Clinical Services Provider as well as a Prepare and Enrich couples counselor.
