In Person Therapists in Chubbuck, ID

I am a clinical social worker and I love working with all ages. I have a vast amount of experience treating children for issues including trauma and abuse, anger, parental divorce issues and defiance as other concerns. Additionally, I work well with adolescents and adults. I have a great deal of experience treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, severe mental illness, grief issues and relationship concerns. I specialize in traumatic relationship experiences and have extended education on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and abuse as well as Antisocial Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.

I understand the struggle. Sometimes life is not as simple as we want it to be. Life requires change, growth and therefore challenges come with the territory. Sometimes we adopt behaviors that are hard to kick. Sometimes we are struggling to deal with changes in life, beyond our circumstances. When we embark upon making change, the first thing we do as human is call on will power. Unfortunately, will power only last so long and we quickly revert to old lifestyles and behaviors.

My intention as a therapist is to help you feel empowered in the process of self-discovery. I'm a passionate and forward-thinking practitioner, who leans on your strengths as well as evidence-based practices to help you navigate emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. As we work toward self-awareness, acceptance, and mindfulness, you will begin to release old ways of thinking, patterns of addiction, anxiety, trauma, or depression, and start living a more meaningful and authentic life.

Navigating life's challenges is tough, especially for your children. Even the youngest children pick up on the stress around them. How can we expect them to learn how to effectively cope when many adults struggle? It's crucial, now more than ever, to give them a safe place where they can just be themselves, express their feelings, make sense of the world, and be heard.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or struggling to cope with past traumas? Are you having difficulty finding happiness in your relationships? You don't have to face these challenges alone. As a compassionate and experienced counselor specializing in trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and a peace of mind.

My primary focus as a counselor is to help you feel understood, safe, and comfortable so we can explore how you can move through your life in a more manageable way! I use an integrative approach to therapy while using a strength-based, narrative approach to life stressors and difficulties while implementing other approaches to fit your needs and goals. In essence, this integrative counseling approach strives to balance mindful awareness, a genuine and empathic relationship with you, and a collaborative effort to identify what changes you can make to minimize emotional and behavioral disturbances or other concerns you may have.

I enjoy my work. It is an honor to help others move through their struggles into a better place. I try to be real with my clients in helping them see their true potential and abilities. That is the point when change happens.
