Top Idaho therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

After many years of doing traditional therapy, I have come to realize that what people want out of therapy is to find solutions to their problems, not to be re-traumatized by a repeated telling of their hurts. Sometimes, we get in our own way and need help understanding what isn’t working for us. I believe this is true for individuals, couples and teens. Me? Lots of training and continuing education. My clients describe me as warm, funny, insightful, and patient. I love being a therapist; it's an honor.

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 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 am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a wife, mother, and Air Force Veteran with a passion for working with trauma survivors. I served in the Air Force for 11 years and endured multiple deployments to various locations. As a Veteran, I understand the struggle of coming home from deployment and readjusting to "normal" life despite the experiences in a deployed location. It can be hard to find someone who understands the unique culture of military life. After my separation in 2011, I experienced the other side as a military spouse and found a true passion in helping my fellow veterans and their families navigate their journey through life. As someone who understands the struggles of dealing with anxiety and trauma experiences, I work hard for my clients to help them find peace and content in their lives and futures. I provide a safe, empathic, and understanding environment where we can explore your world, your struggles, and how to bring the darkness into light.
