I spent 20 years in the military before becoming a therapist, so when you walk in carrying something most people can't name — combat, assault, a faith system that hurt you, an identity you've had to fight to own — I'm not going to need a lot of explaining. I've worked full-time with veterans and military members for 8 of my 10 years as a counselor, and I bring that same directness and reliability to every client I work with. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I genuinely care about supporting family members of LGBTQIA+ people who want to show up better for their loved ones. I offer telehealth across Idaho so you can access care from wherever you are, without the logistics getting in the way.

I'm trained in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Internal Family Systems — three evidence-based approaches that are among the most effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and identity work. I'm not going to make you talk in circles. We're going to understand what's happening, work through it systematically, and build something more sustainable. That said, I pace things based on what you need. Some weeks that means hard work. Some weeks it means holding the space while you process. I follow your lead.

The first session is about getting oriented, not performing. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what you actually want your life to look like. I'll ask questions, you'll ask questions, and we'll start to figure out whether we're a good fit to do this work together. You don't need to have it all figured out before you show up. You just need to show up.
