Top therapists in Idaho who accept St. Luke's Health Plan

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 believe that everyone is deserving of a safe place to work through life’s difficulties so I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that promotes one’s highest potential. A holistic approach is utilized to demonstrate how powerful connectivity of the mind, body, and spirit can be in the healing process and with equipping oneself in successful goal achievement. I have walked alongside many young adults, mature adults, and couples through difficult periods of life, transitions, and choices. Therapy is viewed as a joint venture where combined knowledge and skills are used to determine the best path of treatment and successful outcomes across all gender, cultural, and sexuality spectrums. My therapeutic style is centered around respect, understanding, sincerity, and providing a unique perspective to any challenge experienced. My goal is to help people better understand themselves so they can feel more fulfilled as an individual, partner, and/or professional.

I work hard to meet people where they are at and to help them get to where they want to be in their lives, all without judgement.
