I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience. I have worked with adults, teenagers, and children as young as 8yo, either individually or as a family. My clients experience a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adjustment challenges, life transitions, personality disorders, ADHD, PTSD, self-harm behaviors, self-esteem struggles, addiction issues, OCD, suicidality, eating disorders, LGBT challenges, or grief and loss. I’ve also helped people who have experienced abuse or trauma. My experience and interest includes working with populations from diverse cultural backgrounds and demographics.

My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I treat everyone with respect. I am compassionate and sensitive to my client’s experiences and challenges, assisting them with where they are at. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic, combining treatment therapies that include cognitive behavioral, client-centered, mindfulness, strength-based, solution focused, existential, behavior modification, and narrative therapy.

In my off time I enjoy exploring the surroundings of Boise, walking my dog, spending time with family and friends, adventuring to new cities, reading, traveling to the East Coast, watching sitcoms and comedies, and riding my bike.

Navigating this thing called life is not easy. We all struggle and need a listening ear, encouragement and help sometimes. It takes courage to take those first steps toward change as we seek to find a more fulfilling and happier life. I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, increase their confidence, and work through their challenges. I look forward to partnering with you and helping you achieve the goals you have in mind!
