Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Payette County, ID

I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced a variety of trauma, are navigating grief, facing significant life transitions, or dealing with infertility - issues that often hijack our true identity in order to cope. It takes courage to seek support and embark on a journey of re-discovering your authentic self. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that each person already possesses unique strengths and inner resources that can be harnessed to facilitate the healing process. My practice is culturally sensitive and inclusive to ensure clients feel heard, validated & supported.

I am best with clients ready to look into the painful parts of themselves and their pasts. This allows them to understand and embrace those parts with the help of a "fellow traveler". I seek a place of equality and compassion and I walk with my clients through the darkness.

I see families, couples and individuals that want a new way to relate to themselves and to each other. I provide a safe and open minded environment where we can look at things with fresh eyes, minds and hearts.

Healing generations of patterns and pain can change the future for you and your loved ones.

I believe 80% of life is not about what happens to us, but instead is more about how we respond to it. Hence, it is not our problems that need the most help, but instead our solutions to those problems; it’s okay to be afraid. As a Behaviorist, I see "fear" of “something” as what drives our behaviors in life, i.e. fear in life demands control of life using a previously learned response. It is that perceived need for complete control where we tend to lose control of our most basic solutions and the need to respond differently arises; hence, we bring on change, with empathy for our vulnerabilities being at the forefront.

Is your relationship in trouble? Do you want to be better understood and better understand your partner, but don't know how? Have the ups and downs of life caused conflict or distance between you? Are the stresses of day to day life taking their toll on your family's relationship? Are you and/or your children going through divorce or loss? Everyone needs help sometimes- we are hard-wired to need connection. When we are feeling isolated or unseen, our day to day life feels emptier and our mental and physical health pay the price.

Currently accepting new clients. My focus is to help individuals heal, find a balance, and to regain the ability to respond to situations rather than react. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I understand the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to heal. I attained my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and minor in family studies from Boise State University. I specialize in issues found within intimate relationships and trauma. My experience in behavioral health, and on going education enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care.

Losing sight of who we want to be in an increasingly complicated world can seem easy when life feels hard, and asking for help is an act of courage when we're struggling. I'd like to help you face your challenges. I work with teens ages 15+, adults, and couples. My approach to therapy is collaborative and includes treating all clients with respect and compassion and exploring what matters most to you. If you feel lost or stuck in life, it may be that you've lost sight of what is important to you. Together, we can reconnect you with what and who matters most in life to help you find direction, balance, healing, and to create meaning.
