Therapists Beginning With W in Idaho

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor working with adolescents and adults to regain health and wellbeing in various aspects of life.

I am accepting new clients! I have been working with Children, Adolescents, and Adults for 30 years who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and behavioral issues. Educating parents about how to better cope and care for their children makes a dramatic positive effect on the entire family.

My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, comfortable environment to build a trusting relationship with my clients. Life can be difficult at times and I meet each client where they are in life without judgment or criticism. My counseling style is genuine and honest. My hope is as we self-explore it can lead to meaningful changes that could improve your daily life.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place for all of us to be real. In a world filled with perfect images and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who we actually are and where we want to be. Life is filled with ups and downs. It's a privilege helping people navigate through the journey in a compassionate way. I enjoy working with clients aged 14-100 who need help with self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety or couple dysfunction. Now offering Friday appointments.

Whether you are struggling with reoccurring issues, are unable to cope in a healthy way, or simply want more peace in your life, counseling can help. I primarily focus on working with adolescents and individuals struggling with addiction.

My three favorite excuses people use for not going to see a counselor (and my responses): 1. I don’t have time. Nonsense. You have 24 hours in a day and 168 hours in a week. Taking an hour for your own self-care should be a priority and not a task. (2.) Counseling is for crazy people. Also, nonsense. Terms like “crazy” or “mental” are outdated stereotypes. Just because you are struggling with something in life does not mean that you are broken or defective—it just means you might need a little help dealing with it. Which leads me to my personal favorite…

When feeling empowered is a vague memory - when you don't recognize yourself in the mirror - I totally understand. I've been there.
