Therapists in Idaho

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Idaho and Oregon with a physical location in Nampa, ID. I provide individual and family therapy to those struggling with a variety of issues including: trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and family conflict. I believe that each person coming through my office is unique and comes with their own perspective and experiences. My goal is to help you work towards change, growth and healing through providing you with a safe environment to share your thoughts and feelings. I have specialized training to help you learn strategies to cope differently with your circumstances.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation prior to any therapy intake. This consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your therapeutic goals, explore my approach to therapy, review costs, schedule your initial intake and address any questions you may have. This ensures we start our journey with clarity and mutual understanding.

I am a Therapist-in-training committed to seeing lives transformed & empowered through compassionate care. I have personal experience with grief. My passion lies in empowering people to thrive, not just survive. I combine lenses of trauma, relational connections to others, and how the brain and body work together. I integrate evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches that make tangible, transformational change. It is an honor to witness my clients' journey as we work towards healing together!

I believe strongly in self-determination, that we are the authorities in our own lives, and that we all have the ability to discover the solutions to our struggles and reach the best versions of ourselves given the proper support and resources. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of the healing process in therapy and I strive to create a non-judgmental, safe space that will foster those relationships even with differing life experiences, viewpoints, values, and beliefs.

My work is rooted in person centered theory, though I will pull strategies from various approaches to meet your needs. I believe that healthy, genuine connections are innately powerful. That the flaw in our world is that we wish to rush the process but the truth is, that it took time to get where we are at in our lives, and  it will take time and work to get where we want to be. I find purpose and meaning in journeying along side others, giving time to creating rapport, connection and a strong foundation from which we can work from.

I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help. You are already showing bravery by coming this far. I can help support you in your healing journey as you deepen your self-awareness, connect more fully with others, and learn how to live more authentically. My holistic and mindful approach to healing will empower you to access your inner strength.

For most people, it is difficult to ask for help, so great job taking that first step already! The rest gets easier. I am here to help guide you through some of life's earthquakes. Whether it is trauma, grief, life-transitions, loss, abuse, neglect or your unique situation, I am solution and future-focused so that together we can create a future better than the past. I am compassionate, determined, and here for you, whether short-term or long-term. Healing goals are personal, and together we can determine what those might look like.

In-person or telehealth available. EMDR trained and offering EMDR intensives for clients seeking short-term EMDR treatment for single-incident trauma. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to make changes in their life, and do this by collaborating with them to create a plan that helps them meet their goals. This plan often includes identifying and reprocessing negative beliefs keeping individuals from creating the life they want to live, and identifying more empowered beliefs that will give them the confidence they need to take steps forward.

As an In-Home Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand that the storms of life can impact every one of us at one time or another. Whether you are 1 or 101, life transitions and difficult circumstances can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, scared, isolated, and powerless, robbing you of a hopeful future. Functioning under these circumstances can make it difficult to reach out for help. Whether you have a child who is struggling with major life changes, or you yourself are dealing with the loss of a loved one or another form of complex trauma, you do not need to go through these experiences alone.

You are not broken. People don't come to therapy to be "fixed." They come to be understood and to gain insight that will help them feel better and do better. They come to reach their goals, dreams and ultimately their full potential. I can help you see your multitude of choices and options, problem solve the hard stuff and ultimately make the best decisions for you. I'm excited to be introducing MindWire Neurofeedback starting in Oct. 2021. I also utilize CBT, EMDR, ACT, DBT, Solutions Focused, Motivational Interviewing, NET, Therapeutic Metaphors, Play Therapy and other methods in to customize and best help you reach your goals.

It's a privilege to join you on your journey toward genuine personal growth! With seven years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults. My expertise covers various challenges, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, grief, faith transitions, and relationship struggles.

I am passionate about helping people in all areas of life. I specialize in trauma and addiction disorders, but also can help those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, schizophrenia, etc. I work from a religious perspective to help clients work through life stressors. I also provide bariatric evaluations, DUI evaluations, and domestic violence evaluations.

When the body holds the physical symptoms of chronic stress and traumatic stress, life can become overwhelming, relationships difficult, and feeling comfortable in your own shoes may become uncertain. You need help to see the path forward and the skills to control and calm yourself in those high-stress moments that come out of nowhere. You want to feel in control of yourself and you want to respond to others in a way that you feel good about, remembering without regret, and feeling strong enough to build the connections you value.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While I can't change difficult situations of the past, We can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Using therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be keeping you from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Our counselors in training are dedicated to journeying alongside you as you delve into your behaviors, beliefs, and emotions. Together, our counselors will help you sift through challenging memories and pinpoint areas of your life that could use some clarity and transformation. This collaborative process is all about understanding yourself better and working towards the changes you desire.

Your most natural resource is in yourself. My clinical work as a Jungian oriented depth psychotherapist is characterized by a deep respect for the unfolding of your individual life process, knowing that life experience is in constant change, complex and fluid. A depth psychotherapist collaborates with the client by working together with their wounded, rejected, neglected, abandoned, painful, emotional & fragmented parts. We build a therapeutic rapport with a trust in the process. Personal dreams and symptoms are used as healing agents.

To imagine my ideal client is hard because I expect everyone to have their own individual journey. I came into this work because I want to help people thrive in life. In a world that can be challenging at times, my office will be a place where I allow you to be your true self. My office is a place where you can talk about things you haven’t mentioned to anyone, work on goals you have forgotten about, and challenge yourself to learn new ways to problem solve. The amount of skills that will be learned in the office will be on a level that is designed for your personal needs. My office will be a place of non-judgment and skills/suggest

Life can be hard, complex, and at times can seem impossible to navigate, however, together we can take a journey through life's ups and downs in a healthy and positive way. My goal and commitment is to work alongside you to help you heal, accomplish your goals, and help you discover your unique self.
