Grief counselors and therapists in Idaho

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.

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.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships, past experiences, or sleep, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin to heal. I work with teens, adults, and couples on trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, sleep and insomnia, relationship struggles, and the everyday stress that builds up over time. I'm also proud to offer affirming, welcoming support for the LGBTQIA+ community and for first responders. Together we'll work through what's weighing on you so you can move forward with more confidence and peace.

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.

I have been licensed since 2020 and have been working in a private practice ever since. Currently I see individuals ages 13 and up. I am a straight forward counselor and not afraid to call clients out on their inconsistencies. (You are saying you want these changes in life to be made but are your actions in line with your goals). Overall I go by the motto..if you are not changing it, then you are choosing it.
