I recently moved to Rexburg and enjoy being in the outdoors, exploring new places and playing sports. I have been married for over 16 years and have 9 children. I love helping people learn and grow.

I specialize in working with sexual addictions and relationships. I have been working therapeutically with individuals, couples, and families since 2005. My focus now is working with sexual addiction/pornography addiction and betrayal trauma of partners of addicts and I have been trained by the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) in advanced treatment of sexual addictions and betrayal trauma. My hope is to help individuals and couples heal from the pain that addiction and betrayal bring to people's lives. I also treat other sexual problems with couples and individuals.

Ultimately, my clients want to feel heard, understood, and supported as they work towards resolving their personal issues and achieving a greater sense of well-being. They seek counseling because they recognize the value of having a dedicated and compassionate professional to help them navigate their journey towards self-discovery and healing. My ideal client is someone who is seeking a safe space to work through their personal struggles and challenges. They may be dealing with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions.

As a therapist, I embrace Carl Rogers' wisdom: "If I can listen & sense the emotional flavor, I release potent forces of change." My goal is to foster understanding & connection with emotions, facilitating transformative change. I believe in a holistic approach, addressing psychological, emotional, & spiritual aspects for comprehensive healing. The client-counselor relationship serves as the cornerstone of our therapeutic work. I consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey, providing unwavering support, empathy, and understanding.

I have lived in Idaho for over 15 years & have 6 children. I am both an adventurer & treasure hunter at heart. I love working to help people achieve their ideal self. Many people have goals and hopes that they wish to accomplish, and often times these objectives are complicated by challenges they are currently facing or have faced in the past. I believe that the individual is the catalyst for change in their life, and my position as a counselor is to help them identify those resources that they have used in the past as well as employ new resources.

Those who seek counseling do for various reasons. For the emotionally burdened, I have used the analogy of swimming across a lake with weights on, and as additional weights are added, the individual is told to keep their head above water. The weights may be symbolic of unresolved feelings of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief or loss, relationship struggles, gender identity issues, addictive behaviors. These issues and others bring people into counseling. The opportunity to realize the totality of one’s human potential and to finally become the best version of who they were meant to be is a fulfilling journey.

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 have been practicing in the field of mental health since 1989. I work with adults and offer both individual and couples counseling. I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can expect to experience empathy, along with meaningful connection. I work holistically, recognizing that real change occurs from the outside in as well as the inside out. I want to help clients examine how they view themselves and change things (thoughts, beliefs, emotions, behaviors and relationship dynamics) that no longer work for them. I treat depression, anxiety, complex trauma and relationship issues. I also work with First Responders.

It’s not a mystery: if you’re skilled at something, it’s because you understand the process. You know the right moves to make and you know when to make them. Taking control of your mental health—navigating your own mind— is no different. Contentment, confidence, emotional intelligence, temperamental control, peace of mind, self-worth, resiliency, and every other mental health trait on the “desirable” side of the well-being equation are within your grasp when you understand healthy processes and the embrace the possibilities.

I help burned-out professionals and caregivers, anxious people with or without trauma, and people struggling with difficult relationships create purpose and meaning in their everyday lives. I know that mental and emotional challenges, while not always visible to an outside observer, can be incapacitating and that they often have a profound effect on a person’s ability to experience a fulfilling life. Therapy is about healing from painful past experiences, discovering strengths, challenging thinking, improving relationships, and ultimately creating new and rewarding ways of living.
