Therapists in Coeur d'Alene, ID

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults but will work with most any person. I really enjoy working with people who are willing to take on some out-of-session work and return with insights or at least insight about what's not working. I see my job as helping to remove barriers to the experience of feeling whole, safe and complete and I have many tools to help remove those barriers. Our job will be to find the Centered Self and learn ways to return to that Self more often during the day as we can.

Hi! Welcome to a new, positive change in your life. You’ve already taken the first step in your life’s healing to change your journey just by reading my profile. If you’re visiting my profile because you’re trying to navigate feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, shame, unworthiness, feeling stuck/derailed, or not moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. Maybe, even worse, you feel alone, isolated and the people you care the most about in life have no idea how much pain you’re experiencing. You might possibly feel your emotions are on such a deep, intense level that no one else seems to relate or understand.

Taking that first brave step toward healing can feel intimidating at first. In order to be successful on your journey to better mental health, you need to feel safe and supported. It is my privilege to provide that to the individuals and families I serve as a mental health therapist. The word ‘Assuage’ means, in part, “To lessen the intensity of, to mitigate or relieve.” That is my mission; for my clients to feel heard, understood, and to learn some healthy tools needed in navigating past trauma or daily stressors so that they feel less overwhelming.

**My practice offers telehealth delivery of service for clients (both phone/video sessions). Many insurances cover these.** I have over 20 years of experience helping people with their broken pieces, obstacles or stuck places in life. When your life changes and you don't know how to face that change, I can help. When you want to create a change but feel lost in how to create it, I can help with that too. Relationship obstacles, scary new beginnings, healing old wounds, dealing with stress, anxiety, and sadness- all of these are things I can help you navigate and heal.

Do you struggle with stress and anxiety? Are you feeling down or depressed? Maybe you just don't know what is going on in your head. Sometimes life feels like it is flowing on without you and you just want it to stop. Do you need help with a child who is getting out of control or overly emotional? Mental health concerns are complicated and sometimes it's hard to put a label on how you feel. That is when you need to get extra help. I am here to help you with what ever is bothering you. Let me help calm your mind and build your skills to stop the cycle of mental health concerns.
