My Approach to Therapy

As a relationship-licensed therapist with specialized training in marriage and family therapy, I enjoy supporting individuals and couples in better understanding their attachment style and family beliefs in order to heal and improve how they show up in their relationships. In action, this looks like enhancing communication with a partner, improving family interactions, healing relational trauma, and/or navigating the inevitable challenges that come along with being a parent. I view my clients in the context of their relationships. In initial sessions with me, we will explore your family history and other important relationships throughout the course of your life. Relationships can be our safest haven or the root of pain and trauma. Often, what we learn from our primary relationships as children predicts how we interact in our relationships as adults—whether it’s with friends, colleagues, romantic partners, or other family members. Understanding these dynamics can lead to a greater sense of self-worth and more meaningful connections with others.

Groups I Work With

Over the last 10 years, I have worked in a variety of settings including a non-profit, a residential facility for teens, a middle school, an integrative primary care office, and a community mental health clinic prior to opening my private practice. I was also a member of the Board of Directors for NAMI Treasure Valley and have performed outreach in various Idaho jails and prison facilities. This experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. In my current practice, I primarily utilize interventions stemming from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFTEFCT), attachment theory, Family Systems, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). I am currently conducting sessions in person or through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform (or a mix of both). Additionally, I am trained in accelerated resolution therapy (ART), a rapid trauma therapy intended to move stored traumas that may be “stuck” in the body and reprocess them in a healthier, more adaptive way.
