If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your teen, you're in the right place. For over a decade, I've helped teens, adults, and families find their footing again, first in children's mental health with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, and now in private practice. I especially enjoy working with adults facing anxiety and depression, and with teens and parents navigating hard seasons together.

I also spent three years providing counseling through Development Counseling Services for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I earned my bachelor's in social work from BYU–Idaho and my master's from Boise State University, and I've been clinically licensed since 2019.

I won't lecture you or hand you a script. Therapy with me is a partnership: we'll talk honestly about what's going on and build on the strengths you already have.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you see how your thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and gives you practical tools to break unhelpful patterns.

I work with anxiety, depression, and stress, and with teens who are struggling or at risk, including those having thoughts of suicide. I also support parents who are worried about their teen and aren't sure how to help. If you're in crisis, I offer calm, steady support focused on safety and next steps.

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, so we'll go at your pace. In our first session, we'll get to know each other, talk about what brought you in, and focus on what matters most to you.

I like to begin with the end in mind. We'll talk about what you want your life to look and feel like when therapy is done, then map out realistic steps to get there.

My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, clearer about what comes next, and a little more hopeful.
