I am a marriage and family therapist who works with couples, families, and individuals where addiction has disrupted their lives.
I believe each client is unique and possesses the strength and resources to improve and heal themselves. Sometimes we need help from others to accomplish our goals and make changes in our lives to become our most congruent self. Congruence is harmony of the body, mind, and soul.

I have lived in Idaho for over 15 years & have 6 children. I am both an adventurer & treasure hunter at heart. I love working to help people achieve their ideal self. Many people have goals and hopes that they wish to accomplish, and often times these objectives are complicated by challenges they are currently facing or have faced in the past. I believe that the individual is the catalyst for change in their life, and my position as a counselor is to help them identify those resources that they have used in the past as well as employ new resources.

I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating interpersonal conflict. Coming
from a family systems perspective, I recognize that we are all part of a larger
whole—what we do impacts and influences those around us. Healthy relationships are
built on communication, boundaries, and mutual respect. I’m here to help you develop
some of those skills and identify the barriers that may be hindering that.

I have years of experience with anxiety, depression, marital discord, trauma, and unwanted pornography use.
The human experience exposes us to many stressors, traumas, and anxieties. Seeking help to overcome and manage the symptoms these experiences can bring, is the first step in one's therapeutic journey. While this process can be overwhelming, and uncomfortable, identifying the right person to help manage these emotions is an important part of the journey. I value providing a non-judgmental space that allows clients to explore their emotions and start towards new growth and healing.

I earned master's and doctorate degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy.
You got married full of hope—excited to build a life together. But now, it feels like that dream is slipping away. After years of trying, you feel lost. You’ve tried to communicate your needs, to be patient, believed it would get better—but no matter what, you both end up stuck in the same painful patterns. Maybe you feel like: “Nothing I do is ever good enough,” “They don’t appreciate me,” “I don't matter to my partner.” Or maybe there’s been a breaking point—a fight that cut too deep, a betrayal that left you in agony—and now you’re left wondering if you can ever rebuild. Something has to change, but can therapy actually help?

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
