Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Boise, ID

Are you feeling stuck in painful patterns and looking for support that truly meets you where you are? I help adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles find steadier ground and reconnect with themselves and each other. My work is especially focused on helping people heal from hard experiences, build confidence, and create relationships that feel safe, honest, and fulfilling.

I specialize in working with individuals facing PTSD, complex trauma, substance abuse challenges, and more. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Ohio State University College of Social Work in 2012.

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.

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor across three states, I believe that access to mental health care is a vital necessity. I am passionate about helping clients move forward and helping others regain their lives. Conducting therapy services for 14 years has taught me that therapy is a feedback loop, where clients learn from me as I learn from them.

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.
