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.

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.

Life often throws us into unpredictable, high-stress environments—and navigating those challenges can feel like an intense journey of its own. If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or carrying the weight of trauma, you don't have to navigate the trail alone.

I specialize in working with individuals who operate in high-stress, high-consequence roles—including military service members, veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals. Whether you are dealing with critical incident stress, chronic burnout, or complex trauma, I provide a grounded, practical space tailored to the unique culture and demands of your work.

My approach is deeply informed by years of hands-on experience in high-stakes settings. After starting my career as a Wilderness EMT in 2016 and enlisting in the Army National Guard in 2018, I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Utah State University. Since then, I’ve served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the National Guard and worked across emergency departments, crisis and disaster response, public education, and outpatient mental health.

Using evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies, my goal is to help you process difficult experiences, build sustainable resilience, and regain a sense of balance. Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me teaching CPR and Wilderness First Aid, spending time with my family, and finding adventure outdoors—a mindset I bring into therapy as we work together to help you thrive, no matter what environment you're navigating.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Meridian

Searching for therapists in Meridian starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Meridian therapists, look for someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Meridian, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Idaho. You may prefer in-person counseling in Meridian, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Meridian can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Meridian, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
