Coming to therapy can be scary and hard, but I commit to every person to bring a genuine, warm and comfortable experience that allows you the space to be you! One of my skills as a therapist is building a strong supportive rapport with each person that walks through my door. You can expect me to be genuinely me with no pretense or stuffiness. I consider it the utmost honor and privilege to walk with someone through hard times. I believe that every person is capable of change and growth. Sometimes all it takes is a supportive person to come along side and encourage the goals towards change!
Education and Experience: I use a combination of therapeutic techniques that match every unique individual. These include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused, narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and structural therapy. I have a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Evangelical Seminary, however, I also enjoy seeing individuals and all unique people.
I grew up in New England and not that long ago moved west to Boise, Idaho. I have yet to see a potato farm, however, I am extremely active in everything Idaho has to offer. The mountains and wilderness have been my playground for the past few years. I backpack, hike, bike, kayak, ski and do anything outdoors related all year long. I am also an artist so if art is your thing too you better bet we will be adding that to the therapeutic process!

Specialties: Include ADHD, Alzheimer’s, Antisocial Personality, Anxiety, Asperger’s, Autism, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Career Counseling, Child or Adolescent, Chronic Illness, Coping Skills, Depression, Developmental Disorders, Divorce, Domestic Abuse, Domestic Violence, Dual Diagnosis, Emotional Disturbance, Family Conflict, Grief, Intellectual Disability, Learning Disabilities, Life Coaching, Life Transitions, Oppositional Defiance, Peer Relationships, Racial Identity, Relationship Issues, School Issues, Self Esteem, Self-Harming, Sleep or Insomnia, Spirituality, Stress, Suicidal Ideation, Transgender, Trauma and PTSD, Women’s Issues, LGBTQA+
Education and Experience: I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Idaho and my Master’s degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University. I have previously worked as a program manager for providing services for disabled individuals in their homes and also work at an LGBTQA+ youth drop-in center in Spokane. I have mostly worked with teens and adults and have experience with various disorders such as mood disorders, personality disorders, social impairments, as well as other issues such as sexual and gender identity, and behavioral issues.
Approach to Therapy: My approach to therapy is influenced heavily by my education and my experience and I focus on meeting the client where they are at, helping them to understand and use supports that they have around them and using both short and long terms goals. Making a decision to see a counselor and to come in for sessions can be a very difficult decision for clients, so I always want to make sure that they feel that they are in a safe space in order to build up a rapport with me as their therapist. I use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral, Culturally Sensitive, Multicultural, Trauma Focused and Mindfulness as tools with my clients in order to help them get the most out of their therapy.
About Me: I understand and know how important it is to know a little about myself when you are choosing a counselor. I have lived most of my life in the Pacific Northwest, most living in Washington and Idaho, but I consider my hometown to be Moscow, Idaho. I enjoy reading, watching Asian movies and dramas (I am trying to learn Chinese), listening to various types of music, taking walks with my dog and exploring new places to eat around the Treasure Valley. I also enjoy taking trips with my husband to explore ghost towns as we have created a list of places we would like to visit. I am a calm and contemplative person both in my personal and work life and am a good listener. I hope that by knowing a little about me helps you in making your decision when choosing a counselor.

Specialties: Including but not limited to: bariatric support, cholesterol, colitis, diet and nutrition, food sensitivities, geriatric, high blood pressure, prenatal nutrition, sports nutrition, weight managerment, diabetes, digestive issues, eating disorders, food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, sports nutrition weight management, vegan and vegetarian nutrition, sports nutrition, celiac disease, bariatric support, and crohns disease
Education and Experience: I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and licensed in the state of Idaho. I obtained my degree from the University of Idaho through their Coordinated Program in Dietetics. I completed my clinical internship at St. Luke’s Meridian and worked closely with intensive care patients under the supervision and guidance of my preceptor. I completed my food management internship at the Nampa School district where I learned about school nutrition, food safety and large-scale food purchasing. Before going back to school to become a Registered Dietitian I worked as a Diet Clerk at St. Luke’s Rehabilitation hospital for nearly four years while I finished my Health Science Degree at Boise State University. I enjoyed this experience as it gave me an insight into food service as well as patient care. I helped patients select menu items for their meals, obtained information from them to report back to the Registered Dietitian on staff, and built a rapport with patients and nursing staff.
My philosophy: I believe in striving for a balanced, healthy lifestyle. The term “healthy” can mean slightly different things to different individuals. My goal is to assess individual nutritional needs and goals and create a plan specifically tailored to meet those needs. By using the nutrition care process, my nutrition education, and evidence-based research, I hope to provide clients with the tools they need to meet their nutritional needs and goals.
More about Me: I am a very active person, I enjoy hiking around Stanley, Idaho in the summer and skiing in the winter. I am passionate about fitness and enjoy spending time with my family and my dog Waylon.
