I am a Therapist-in-training committed to seeing lives transformed & empowered through compassionate care. I have personal experience with grief. My passion lies in empowering people to thrive, not just survive. I combine lenses of trauma, relational connections to others, and how the brain and body work together. I integrate evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches that make tangible, transformational change. It is an honor to witness my clients' journey as we work towards healing together!
I have had the honor of working in the anti-trafficking movement as an ally for over eight years. I have worked with trafficking survivors from the Philippines, Germany, Canada, and the USA. I hold a Professional Certification in Trauma & Resilience from Florida State University and a Bachelors in Communications from Texas A&M University.
I would love to hear from you. Please reach out to Diane Mhoon, my supervisor at Loving Life Counseling, to schedule your consultation call and first appointment by calling (208) 614-8070. I am currently accepting new clients!

Mental health is brain health. It is important to consider how all systems of the body work together, which is my approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based, trauma-competent therapies like IFS and EMDR to bring tangible change to the brain and body.
