Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Meridian, ID

Hi, I’m Federica. I’ve been a therapist for 24 years and specialize in helping older teens and adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns, feeling "too much" or "not enough", or longing for deeper connections, therapy can help. Born and raised in Rome, Italy, I offer therapy in both English and Italian. I also know what it’s like to rebuild in unfamiliar spaces and I deeply respect the courage it takes to ask for help.

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.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who holds a master’s degree in nursing from Frontier Nursing University. As an independent practitioner I can diagnose and treat mental health conditions with full prescriptive authority and order diagnostic labs as appropriate. With nearly 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for patient and family-centered care has evolved from working the on the front lines as an ICU RN during the covid-19 pandemic to addressing the mental health crisis impacting all of our communities as a nurse practitioner.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past. You may find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.
