WELCOME

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Idaho and Georgia. I firmly believe in creating a safe and welcoming space that is free from judgment, where you can feel nurtured and understood. My goal is to help you gain insight, foster self-acceptance, and empower you to see new perspectives in your life.
I understand that life can present us with unexpected and often overwhelming challenges. It’s completely normal to feel intimidated when seeking professional support. Please know that you are not alone on this journey. My priority is to listen to you with compassion and support, allowing us to explore and process the difficult emotions and experiences you are facing together. It is an honor for me to walk alongside you on this path to healing.

Life’s challenges can feel heavy, and it helps to have someone who truly listens by your side. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, grief, ADHD, and life transitions, as well as military families who are carrying the unique demands of service and sacrifice. Together, we focus on building resilience, clarity, and practical tools that support lasting change.
I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" you. It's about creating space to understand your experiences, process what you're carrying, and reconnect with the strengths you may have lost sight of along the way. Whether you're facing a difficult season or looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, we'll work together to identify what you need and build a path forward.
Areas of Focus:
-
Women-Centered ADHD Support
-
Perinatal & Postpartum
-
Grief & Loss
-
Couples Therapy
-
Military & First Responders

Christian Counseling
As a Women-Centered ADHD Specialist, I understand that ADHD often presents differently in women and can go unrecognized for years. I enjoy helping clients better understand how their brains work, build practical strategies, and lean into their strengths rather than focusing solely on challenges.
With experience in hospice care, child welfare, foster care, and military communities, I understand how overwhelming life transitions can be. I offer compassionate guidance, helping clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to move forward with confidence. of work, I enjoy spending time with my two bulldogs, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate life’s simple joys.

Sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders—but even the heaviest loads feel lighter when someone walks with you. I enjoy working with teens and adults, supporting you through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of growing up at all ages. Therapy is a space to explore your feelings, find your voice, and build resilience, one moment at a time.
I see therapy as a partnership, meeting you right where you are with curiosity, respect, and a little bit of humor when it fits! Together, we’ll explore emotions, uncover strengths you might not realize you already have, and develop strategies to make life feel more manageable. I’m especially drawn to somatic therapies, using the mind-body connection to help you process experiences and feel grounded in the moment.
Areas of Focus:
-
Adolescents (12+) & adults
-
Grief & loss / phase of life
-
Chronic health issues
-
Anxiety & depression
-
Women’s issues
I value the power of connection and support, and I bring that perspective to every session. Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me with my dogs, lighting candles, napping, or organizing my space—little joys that keep me grounded and inspired.

Life doesn't always fall apart in obvious ways. Sometimes it looks like overthinking every decision, feeling stuck in the same patterns, struggling to keep up with responsibilities, or wondering why things feel harder than they seem for everyone else. My goal is space where you can better understand what's getting in the way, build practical tools, and create meaningful change that lasts beyond our sessions.
I bring a calm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each experience to your unique needs. Using evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT, alongside a person-centered foundation, I will support you as you develop practical tools while fostering self-awareness, confidence, and growth.
Areas of Focus:
-
Adolescents (11+)
-
ADHD
-
Trauma
-
Anxiety & OCD
-
Relationship Concerns
-
Parenting
-
Life Transitions
I view therapy as a partnership—you are the expert on your life, and I'm here to offer support, guidance, and tools along the way. Whether you're navigating trauma, intrusive thoughts, relationship challenges, anxiety, ADHD, or major life transitions, we'll work together to identify what's holding you back and create a path toward a more grounded, confident, and intentional life.
