Being a psychotherapist for over 4 decades, I recognize the necessity to honor each client as an individual and to help that client to recognize and reveal true thoughts and feelings. Feeling sad, shy, frightened, furious, or any other emotion can be expressed and healed in the individual and within the family. Timing and destiny are vitally important to reveal and recognize, but even more valuable is to know that our reaction to life's events can transform our world. Whether in the mind, emotions, or spirit all things are possible.

Are you looking to improve your self-esteem, consider important life decisions, or finally overcome your trauma? I would consider it an honor to accompany you in discovering the truest and most whole version of yourself. While many people are struggling with depression and anxiety from an abundance of stressors, these symptoms do not need to define your life. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to improving mental health because your life is entirely unique. I am excited to build a partnership with you to identify the goals that will improve your quality of life and then pursue them.

The role of a counselor is to help clients live their best life possible and help them help themselves through life issues that are sometimes temporary or permanent. Each person has a view of what happiness is and problem situations sometimes intrude on that happiness in the form of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, sickness, and many other manifestations. Meeting clients where they are and helping them get where they want to be is my passion. Respect is my foundation for building a rapport with my clients. If you respect something, you do not harm it; you honor it. I show respect through my actions of being open and honest.

I think we can all agree that life is challenging at times, but it can be a beautiful adventure, sometimes we just need someone to help us throughout our journey of self-discovery. Our pain, although unpleasant, can be an instrument that leads to growth and healing. The fact that your reading this means you still have hope. I’m glad you made it this far because that tells me that even after all you’ve been through, you believe in the possibility of change.

I help individuals who struggle with long-term alcohol and substance use. Many use substances to cope with depression, anxiety, rejection, and stress, but this can lead to challenges in daily life, such as difficulties in social interactions, managing responsibilities, and maintaining healthy relationships. In therapy, I assist clients in understanding their reliance on substances, finding healthier coping strategies, and addressing underlying issues like a lack of purpose and difficulty connecting with others, to support a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I specialize in families/couples, and I am an Idaho licensed LMFT and Arizona licensed LAMFT. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck. Sometimes relationships begin great, but life/situations cause a change to happen. We all have personal challenges, have stressful periods, or go through traumatic times. The desire to seek help to explore and process these problems can open the door to positive growth. I believe in the healing power of relationships: no matter the wounds, if all parties are willing to heal, I will help.
