About

Survive ---> Thrive

You deserve to thrive, not just survive. Your brain can heal, like how muscles recover after a workout. _________________________________________ When collaborating with clients on their therapy goals, I see through the lenses of trauma, relational connections to others, as well as how the brain and body work together to consider many factors that make up a person and their experience. I utilize research-based, trauma-informed approaches that make tangible, transformational change. I am trained in EMDR & am IFS Informed (think of IFS like the characters in the InsideOut movies). During therapy, I also integrate attachment styles, self-compassion, mindfulness, communication & boundary skills. All of these approaches do not require you to re-tell all of the details of hurtful experiences. My own grief and therapy journey, as well as eight years of allied work with trafficking survivors through non-profit service led me here. It is an honor to witness your journey as we work towards healing together. _________________________________________ I am in-network for the St. Luke's Plans of the following insurances: Mountain Health CO-OP Link, PacificSource Navigator & Voyager Plans, SelectHealth St. Luke's, St. Luke's Health Plan, Regence, and Blue Cross of Idaho. If your insurance is not listed, I can provide a superbill. Please note that at this time, I am only in-network with the SelectHealth St. Luke's plan, NOT the St. Alphonsus SelectHealth plan. _________________________________________ Finding a therapist that is your right fit is so important. I believe in authentic interaction in therapy. I have very limited open availability for new clients on Thursdays during the day! - Updated 5/12/25
