Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Idaho

I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.

My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’ve been working in the helping professions since 1999. I have a deep calling for holding a guiding light during your dark times. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am a licensed therapist in Arizona, using evidence based talk therapy and trauma processing modalities. Throughout my career, I’ve found that a calm presence can make all the difference, and that’s what I always intend to bring to my work. I’ve also had the honor of being a yoga teacher with a background in holistic living, and understand the mind-body connection. Mindfulness meditation is a part of my own personal practice, and I may incorporate this into my therapy work to help you cultivate peace and clarity.

On a personal note, as an adolescent I exited the conservative, tight-knit religion I was raised in and never looked back. I respect the bravery and courage it takes to be true to yourself. I identify as a multicultural female, who is spiritual not religious. Immersing myself in art, nature and the vast mystery of it all is grounding for me. I have an appreciation for the intersecting philosophies of the world’s wisdom traditions.

Healing begins when people are given the opportunity to explore all parts of themselves, including the parts that are difficult to face or that we feel ashamed of. I am an empathic Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a professional background in family conflict and chronic illness. My focus is providing a compassionate and supportive therapeutic space where people can feel safe being fully themselves without fear of judgment. Through thoughtful self-exploration, I help clients build self-awareness, empowerment, and greater self-compassion.
