Family Therapy in Shelley, ID

I have a very large tool bag to help you move through a variety of issues. I have the equivalent of a minor in elementary education, child psychology and developmental psychology. I changed majors to Social Work and feel my added skills of psychology and education give me a different edge than a lot of counselors in the field. I work with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, military veteran's and the entire family. I work with many diagnosis's to find a solution together which suits you best in personal growth. Contact us to work together today.

I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help. You are already showing bravery by coming this far. I can help support you in your healing journey as you deepen your self-awareness, connect more fully with others, and learn how to live more authentically. My holistic and mindful approach to healing will empower you to access your inner strength.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Idaho and Texas, with an associate level license in Utah. I work with individuals, couples, and families with the goal of helping you experience increased mental health and connection in your relationships. I have experience working with trauma, abuse, depression/anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, addiction, spiritual/religious concerns, and relationship distress. I also have extensive experience working with families and couples. I take a relational approach with my clients and help them to address their concerns with their context in mind.

As a generalist, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and phases of life dealing with an array of life challenges. I have specific training and experience working with individuals (of all genders) with sex addiction and other problematic compulsive behaviors. As a sex addiction specialist I work extensively with people who have trauma histories and attachment injuries. I welcome clients who are gender and sexually diverse, and adult and adolescent clients.

I believe every human being has within them the ability to reach their potential. Sometimes we need help unraveling our strengths while we work through difficult aspects of our lives. Together, I believe we can build resilience, improve our connections to others, give ourselves and others compassion for our suffering and build hope. I feel it is a privilege to be a part of my clients’ pathway of change toward a more fulfilling life.

I value the opportunity to walk with you in your journey, no matter where you are at. I strive to provide a safe space where you can connect with your most authentic self. This work is best done with a non-judgmental, genuine therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with people from all diverse backgrounds. In particular, I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety disorders. Family therapy is also a specialty of mine. I am endlessly curious to learn people's stories and I feel deeply privileged to be invited into these stories every day.

Life is a journey. It is full of highs and lows and all of the moments in between. Trying to navigate life and all of its complexities independently can be challenging. Finding someone that you can build a therapeutic relationship can make the process much more manageable. You have a person who is able to educate, support, challenge, process with, encourage, motivate, cheerlead and celebrate you as you work through the challenges presented in your life. It is nice to know you are not alone. I want to be that person for you. I consider this an honor.

I work with adults and teens ages 12 as they navigate change, communication struggles, and painful experiences. I strive to see everyone through the lens of their strengths. My goal is to help clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss and grief, effects of trauma, or suicidal thoughts, achieve stability and thrive through use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I rely heavily on mindfulness-based practices to increase emotional awareness that is needed before change.

You’re lying in bed next to your partner, but it feels like there’s an unbridgeable gap between you. Lately, it’s as though you’re just roommates. You tolerate each other and have built a functional life together, but something integral is missing. There’s no passion anymore, and the romance has all but disappeared. When you try to discuss these issues, it always seems to devolve into a screaming match. Neither of you is having your needs met. You’ve both become so locked into your family roles that there appears to be no way out. You’re not ready to give up, but you don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. You need help.

I have been a marriage and family therapist for over 25 years. I have worked with marriage and family issues as well as mental health issues throughout that time. I have been in private practice for over 15 years and thoroughly enjoy the work that I do and the clients that I work with.

I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I also work with clients on relationship enhancement, parenting, dating/preparation for marriage, interpersonal communication, stress management, conflict resolution, personal growth, emotional healing, and relational unity. I assist parents, children, and families with relationship struggles and behavioral/emotional issues. I am licensed and able to provide confidential online video therapy for clients in Idaho, New Hampshire, and Utah.

Currently I am taking online client's only. I am licensed in both Montana and Idaho. I specialize in helping adults address a range of issues. I have experience working with individuals, groups, couples and family therapy. I use a client-centered, strength based approach to establish a trusting relationship to identify the issues most important to you. My experience has been diverse with history working in boarding and public schools. Wilderness therapy, Primary Care clinics and outpatient therapy. I work with depression, grief, trauma work and career issues, stress management and relational problems.
