Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Nampa, ID

I believe that challenges can become opportunities for growth when we have the right support. My approach is focused on helping you recognize your strengths, clarify your goals, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

I earned my first clinical license in 2019 and began my career specializing in addiction treatment before transitioning into broader mental health care in 2020. Since then, I have worked primarily with adults ages 18–55 navigating men’s issues, relationship concerns, vocational stress, and major life adjustments.

Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself and create lasting change. We will work together to develop practical strategies that fit your needs, values, and goals.

Welcome! I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years working in healthcare. I have undergraduate degrees in psychology and nursing as well as an advanced degree as a nurse practitioner. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, and more.

I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.

Just a heads up—I’m in the Mountain Time Zone, which runs one hour ahead of Arizona until the fall. For example, if you see a 2:00 time slot available, that would be 1:00 Arizona time.

After battling addiction for 30 years, my own recovery journey inspired me to become a therapist. With 14 1/2 years of sobriety, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to the work I do. While my initial focus was supporting individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders, my practice has since expanded to include helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, relationship challenges, codependency, and more.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside others on their path to healing, believing that with determination and the right support, meaningful change is always possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and ongoing growth—I continuously pursue education and training to stay current with the most effective practices in the field. Outside of my work, I enjoy mindfulness, exercise, spending time outdoors, and staying connected with family and friends. My passion for this work shines through in every client interaction, and I strive to be a source of hope, encouragement, and resilience for those I serve.

I am a therapist that welcomes all, humbly, and strives to build community with those I encounter. You are welcome here, however you may be.
