When life feels challenging, the process of finding support can feel daunting at best and impossible at worst. I strive to be a therapist that eliminates the word ‘impossible’ from our journey towards finding balance and tools for success. Today, you are taking your first step in that journey. It’s a big one and I am honored you would consider me to assist. I specialize in counseling geared towards individuals, children, and families seeking support and guidance as they navigate topics of loss, grief, anxiety, over-arching life challenges, and anything else taking center stage in your lives.

I believe you are here because you want a change, and change can be difficult. I believe change is hard because through life we have learned to avoid difficult emotions, thoughts, and situations. Avoidance can come in many forms including distractions, substance use, and opting out of what is important to you. While the avoidance helps in the immediate, it can lead us away from those things that mean the most to us which can leave us feeling stuck and defeated. As an ACT therapist, my goal is to give you the abilities to be with your difficult experiences, while you engage in actions and behaviors that move you towards your values.

I believe the bravest thing you can do is to choose to un-become what no longer fits who you are, or that’s standing in the way of the life you want. You’ve been doing the best that you can, & things still don’t feel right. You realize life is too short to feel stuck, worried, angry, disconnected, afraid or whatever word describes that things just suck. When you’re ready to change something, you want to know that someone is with you. I hope you will take a moment to reach out, discuss your needs & see if I’m a good fit to help you with this change.

I specialize in working with couples in all stages of their relationships - from those who are dating or engaged, to newly married or navigating life with children or facing issues related to blended families, to those who have been together for decades. I also work with individuals navigating divorce, helping them process the challenges that come with that journey so they can come out on the other side in a healthy way. When clients arrive at the first session nervous or ambivalent about whether counseling can really help, I focus on putting them at ease and building confidence in their own ability to create the change they want.

Are you constantly battling exhaustion, overwhelm, or emotional pain that just won’t go away? Maybe you’ve survived trauma and feel stuck in survival mode, living each day on edge. Some mornings, even getting out of bed feels impossible because the emotional weight is too heavy. When was the last time you felt truly safe, energized, and at peace with yourself? A dysregulated nervous system can show up in many ways - persistent anxiety, depression, anger, people-pleasing, or even chronic pain. It’s the body’s way of protecting us from past hurts, but this protection can come at the cost of joy, connection, and health.

FAQs - About Therapy and Counseling

How can I find a therapist in Idaho?

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
