Top virtual Idaho teenagers therapists who accept Select Health

I have been an independent clinician since 2013 and in private practice since 2017. I strive to provide clients with a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. I believe we are all individuals and there is no one size fits all approach. Therefore, I tailor therapeutic treatments to the need and the goals of my clients. I am painfully aware that some of life’s transitions can be difficult to cope with: be it a loss of a loved one, a new illness, a chronic illness, a disability, depression or just everyday life. Whatever the case may be, we all need help and somebody to talk to during our life’s journey. Some of the conditions I treat include chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental illness, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss. I specialize in working with families who may have a member that is disabled as well as family situations. I am here to help you improve your journey through life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children.

I live in the mountains in Idaho and enjoy recreation like riding horses, hiking, and skiing. I have a BS in Secondary Education and MS in Counseling. I hold a clinical license in counseling and a school counselor certification. I have experience working with all ages. I have 10 years of experience with gerontology, eating disorders, adolescents, domestic violence trauma, veterans, inmates and probation/parole, women’s issues, and family systems. I use child-centered play therapy in childhood development, Autism Spectrum, attention deficits, divorce, and peer conflict. I use many approaches in counseling including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Logotherapy, guided imagery, EMDR, and faith-based, and holistic therapies. I believe that there is hope in discovering our path and believe in helping individuals achieve goals in treatment. I look forward to hearing from you and how I might support your journey.

I am from Denver, Colorado and grew up in the Boise, Idaho area. I am a mom, wife, and lifelong learner. I like spending my free time crocheting, being active (paddle boarding, yoga, and walking are some of my favorites), reading, spending time with friends and family, and being in the mountains. Some of my favorite things are my fur babies, the ocean, and tacos. My Approach I believe people can grow and change when given the time and space to speak their truth and develop their personal insight. In my therapeutic approach I integrate various treatment modalities to fit each client’s individual needs and counseling goals within a calm and non-judgmental space. My goal as a therapist is to gain an understanding of your life, identify possible blind spots, hold space for you to process emotions and increase personal insight, and encourage life changes that promote a better quality of life.

Choosing to seek therapy to work on ourselves can be a scary endeavor, as there are times where it can become uncomfortable to face some of the challenges in our lives in order to feel better. I like to utilize solution focused therapy, mindfulness practices, as well as CBT, DBT, and EMDR as some of the tools to help my patients. I come from a client centered approach, and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment either from the online platform or in person. I invite you to take that next step and start the journey towards healing and learning how to become your best authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQ, anxiety, issues in dealing with lack of self-esteem and self-worth, along with relationship troubles, and learning to adjust to the complex world we are living in. I welcome you to feel empowered to take back control in your life and to have the courage to find what makes you happy and healthy. Open to working with children/adolescents 16 years and older.

I am licensed with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem and confidence, and depression. I also have experience assisting clients to cope with life changes. I believe you are the expert of your story and have strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I have a passion for helping individuals explore, understand, and overcome personal, social and/or behavioral problems to promote optimum mental and emotional health. I am dedicated to creating and implementing innovative ways to strengthen and empower families and individuals. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My mission is to offer a holistic, genuine, supportive, non-judgmental approach to therapy with an understanding that human beings experience individual life challenges. Open to working with adolescents (ages 13-17) in-office only.

Through a therapeutic approach, I help clients feel understood and safe because this is an important aspect of the healing process. Helping clients understand beliefs, emotions and behaviors is an important aspect for progress. While cognitive behavioral therapy is at the core of my approach, I believe that cognitive restructuring is essential in client progress. An eclectic approach is necessary because each client is unique and presents with unique strengths, needs and goals. I have worked as an addiction counselor, clinical case manager, family therapist and have done work with couples, pre-teens, teens and adults. I am fluent in Spanish and have worked with the Latino population in the Boise area since 2013. I have facilitated Anger Management, Early Recovery Skills, Healthy Thinking, and Drug & Alcohol Ed groups. I will provide you with a direct, straightforward approach that helps you move from a place of pain to happiness. The youngest age I am willing to treat is 10 years old.
