Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 4.4 mi away • Boise, ID


I am passionate about brain and mental health. Over the years, I have built the belief that strong mental health is foundational to a successful, fulfilling life. However, I have also found there are no cookie-cutter solutions given the complexities of the human experience, thus inspiring a passion for a thorough, thoughtful, and individualized approach to brain and mental health. I earned a bachelor degree in nursing and in psychology, and a master's degree in psychiatric mental health.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships, past experiences, or sleep, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin to heal. I work with teens, adults, and couples on trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, sleep and insomnia, relationship struggles, and the everyday stress that builds up over time. I'm also proud to offer affirming, welcoming support for the LGBTQIA+ community and for first responders. Together we'll work through what's weighing on you so you can move forward with more confidence and peace.

Hello—I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I received my Master’s degree from the University of Utah in 2009. I deeply believe in the value of seeking support—because being human means navigating both grief and gratitude, often at the same time.

There are seasons in life when we need additional support, and you don’t have to move through those alone. I strive in helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and make sense of what you’re carrying.

I specialize in women’s mental health, anxiety, betrayal trauma, divorce, grief, and loss.
