There are times in life when we need the support from someone other then our friends, family, or significant other. Finding the right person to talk to is very important, but not always easy. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to meet with you so that you can decide if I am the right person to support you with your current struggles. I am a nonjudgmental and caring person who wants to assist you in working through whatever it is that is causing you to reach out for support. You are not alone; we all need support in our lives.

My clinical experience has been focused on issues of healthy relationships, dual diagnosis, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. I offer a wide range of clinical services which include assessments, evaluations, and groups, in addition to individual, couples, and family counseling. I work with my clients from a theoretical orientation of counseling that blends cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and family systems theories. I believe in supporting clients in their emotional growth process, while allowing them to determine their own pace and direction. I am an easy-going, positive person who likes to help others live their lives to their fullest extent.

"What I am is good enough, if I would only be it openly". I have centered most of my work on this strength base belief of Carl Rogers. It is so easy to focus on what is not working and what has to be 'fixed' rather than on what is working and what is right in ourselves. Our society, social media, and some of our environments give us the message that we need to be 'better' that we are not 'good enough' just as we are. I center my work on a strength based model to reinforce self acceptance, self understanding, positive self thoughts, and enhancing confidence levels in yourself.

Has something difficult or disturbing happened in the past or present that is currently affecting your relationships and personal life? I believe that difficulties provide pathways into a deeper understanding and relationship with oneself. No matter how challenging the circumstances may seem, I believe it is possible to navigate through the situation and gain relief. I consider it a privilege to work deeply with people building supportive collaborative relationships while attending to the difficulties they face. I am currently licensed in California and Idaho.

Has anxiety become a lifestyle you've come to accept? Despite all you've achieved, do you still hold insecurities other's can't see. Does fear of rejection and failure burden you with worry and keep you doubting yourself? With all the inner chatter, relationships feel stressful and often leave you feeling disappointed, empty and alone. The constant comparing to others makes you question "What's wrong with me?" So you stuff those feelings to avoid opening the floodgate of emotions. I get it. I help people feel more grounded, clear, and confident, so they can live and work without feeling so weighed down.

Currently Full. Are you struggling with stuff you just can't seem to move past or "get over"? Are there things that have happened, or patterns of relationships, reactions, behaviors you would love to change? Would you like a stronger sense of self/feel more "at home" with yourself & others? Whether you're struggling with current or past trauma, disrupted attachment from long ago, anxiety, depression, thinking about suicide or hurting yourself, ineffective coping, unhealthy relationships - there absolutely is hope for healing & the possibility of experiencing peace, wholeness & increasing well-being.

I am balancing out my practice and currently accepting adult clients who have an intrinsic motivation for personal development and growth. I am solution focused and incorporate specific concepts into my work that are intended to broaden awareness and shift perspective. I love taking therapy outside and immersing in nature and with animals as they provide immediate feedback to our process. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I specialize in a variety of Nature-Based therapies, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Farm Based Therapy.

My Ideal client is someone, child, adolescent, or adult, who is ready to make a change in their behaviors, thoughts, their life. This individual may be feeling anxious, or depressed, or tired of repeating the patterns that “get them into trouble”. This individual wants to learn how to manage their feelings or thoughts, process through their situations, while gaining skills to work through those situations, and learn to let things go. I find that the individuals (children and adults) ready for change “dive right into” my therapy toys/sand tray/art supplies so that they can begin processing their issues they way that they need to.

Offering video sessions, phone sessions, and live chat sessions. I have had the honor and satisfaction of working with a wide range of people experiencing relationship and/or transitional issues, as well as more serious problems including mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, menopausal issues, pre and post bariatric surgery adjustment, trauma, OCD, grief and divorce recovery. Within the scope of general adult and child and adolescent counseling I offer individual psychotherapy, family sessions, couple's counseling, and some testing. I use Hope therapy and seek to build on people's strengths.ver

We all encounter situations that challenge our abilities and throw us off balance. This is what it means to be human. I believe we all possess the ability to work through these situations and move forward in healthier, happier, and stronger ways. Sometimes it just requires a trained professional to offer a new perspective. My job is to work with you to discover your path forward by offering support, new ways of thinking, and education while tapping into strengths and resources you already possess. Please give me a call and we can get started to get you back on track in your life.

if you are struggling in your relationships, I'm here for you. I believe that part of the meaning of life is to love and be loved, and when we aren't able to experience this fully, we suffer. Life experiences can leave us feeling inadequate, not enough, lost, afraid, stuck. Maybe we feel trapped in the same negative relationship patterns, or unable to trust and get close to others. My goal is to help you become more aware of why you do what you do, so that you have the freedom to make new decisions for your future. I want you to have the freedom to experience the intimacy and love we're designed for.

There are times in life that we all need a little help. Whether it be with managing life stressors stemming from family, work, life transitions, or dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or issues with drugs or alcohol. Having someone help with navigating these difficult and stressful times can be very beneficial. It is my goal to provide a safe space and to work along side clients to overcome the life challenges and stressors they are experiencing.

It takes courage to seek help. I help individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, grief, loss, alcohol/substance use, and relationship issues. There are times in life when the circumstances you're faced with can feel overwhelming. Talking it out can help you feel supported while gaining a better understanding of the steps you want to take. I help client's learn coping skills to manage their feelings of hopelessness, fear, and uncertainty. I work to empower my client's life by providing reassurance, hope, resources and options to address the reason they're in therapy. YOU are not alone. HELP is here when YOU are ready.

I am currently taking new clients! It takes amazing strength and courage to share our insecurities, worries and pain. As a compassionate therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and trusting space where you can feel better and get relief. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, I provide a free 15 minute consult to help make the process less overwhelming and to explore if working together is the right fit for you. I provide therapy for individuals, couples and families.
