I am a faith-based counselor and practice as such under-ID State Law. My training is a combination of Family Studies, Individual Spiritual Formation and Marriage and Family Development. Both my graduate training and current Doctoral training approach with the individual reflects my view of a biblical perspective on the emotional, spiritual and physical parts of our being. My approach in our times together will be grounded in the belief that psychology can reveal a lot about how God has created your heart and mind and how those dynamics are impacting your experience of life and your relationship with others.

One of the most difficult tasks in life is getting to know and understand yourself and others and to discover who you really truly are. I am dedicated daily to assist you on this journey to a happier healthier life. I desire a willingness to learn about people and let them guide and direct the way therapy goes so they will be empowered by the process of change. I will provide guidance while making sure that you are heard and understood with your feelings validated. No one knows you better than you and your goals and needs will be priority so you will gain self-determination that leads to you achieving a brighter future.

First and foremost I believe in providing an empathetic approach curated with intentional decision based action. I put a strong emphasis on mindset work and helping clients recognize they can take their control back. I am passionate about rewriting the stories our brains have told us throughout our lifetime. These stories have shaped the lens in which we see the world and slowly allow us to bury our core-self alive. As we become more suffocated and trapped, naturally our anxiety and depression take over and we lose control of our life.

I love working with people who are looking to make change and engage in life in new ways. If that means learning to accept things as they are, learning new ways of thinking or behaving, or getting rid of unhelpful thoughts or habits, I believe we can do those things. I have experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, major life transitions, anger issues, relationship issues (romantic partner, family, workplace, etc), sexual issues, grief, and spiritual/faith-based issues among others.

Individuals, couples, and families experience trauma, stressors, and circumstances outside their control throughout life. Such times can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves and others. We are relational beings, wired for connection, yet sometimes we get caught in negative interaction cycles, often driven by the same unmet needs. I help couples uncover those underlying unmet needs, emotions, and perceptions and then facilitate a pattern of turning toward each other rather than away.

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.

You are sick and tired of struggling to keep up with daily life and are constantly on edge. Stress has you snapping at your spouse and kids and you have no energy to make a significant change. You have experienced multiple losses and life disappointments, and this season seems no different. Trying to talk to your spouse just results in more fighting and resentment. You feel like you are treading water with no end.

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.
