About
Seeking help can be vulnerable, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to recognize your strengths, grow, and thrive through a collaborative therapeutic partnership.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience helping individuals build confidence, strengthen resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in creating authentic therapeutic connections and supporting clients in recognizing their strengths to foster meaningful growth and lasting change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, focused on meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, comfortable space for open communication. I believe in working together to develop goals that evolve as your needs change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I will partner with you to create a supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward with confidence. I encourage you to reach out when you are ready to begin.

As a nursing professional working in the health care field since 2007, I understand the importance of mental health and wellness and how it affects every person, directly or indirectly, at some point in their lives.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience in the nursing profession. I specialize in outpatient mental health care for adults and have worked across medical-surgical, home health, cardiology, and psychiatric settings. I am passionate about increasing access to mental health care, particularly for individuals facing barriers to services, and supporting overall mental wellness.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice with a psychiatric mental health focus from Idaho State University. My approach is holistic and patient-centered, integrating medication management with psychotherapy, lifestyle support, and wellness strategies to promote balanced mental health outcomes.
I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered in your care. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengths, and overall well-being. I would be honored to partner with you on your mental health journey and invite you to schedule an appointment when ready.

LGBTQIA+ counseling is a type of queer affirmative counseling dedicated to assisting individuals and couples in navigating the intricate intersections of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health, with a primary goal of fostering well-being, self-acceptance, and affirming a client’s life experiences as a queer individual. Although not all LGBTQ+ individuals seek specialized counseling, a substantial number discover vital support and empathy within these inclusive and affirming therapeutic settings.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Boise, ID typically begins with an initial assessment to understand your specific needs. LGBTQ+ counselors aim to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community by encouraging self-acceptance and offering an understanding of your identity and experiences. LGBTQ+ therapy addresses issues like coming out, discrimination, mental health challenges, and gender transition, and provides support for LGBTQ+ relationships.
LGBTQ+ counseling is incredibly important because it can help queer individuals accept their identity, learn self-love, and give them important tools for facing the challenges of being a queer person in today’s society, among many other benefits. LGBTQ+-affirming therapists can understand the unique perspective and experiences of queer individuals as they help them process past trauma, address family conflicts, treat issues with anxiety, and more.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Boise, ID is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for LGBTQ+ counseling depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual. It could encompass a relatively limited series of sessions or extend into a longer counseling plan. The precise quantity and duration of sessions typically emerge through collaborative discussion with the counselor, taking into account the client’s progress and their therapeutic objectives.
The rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning individuals are often glossed over in popular media. And while the internet can provide some information about what it means to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, you may still have questions that are specific to your lived experience.
Our counselors, therapists, and other mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Boise, ID can help fill in those gaps by getting to know you and your personal concerns. We would love the chance to set up a session with you. Reach out today to get started.
When people visit a counselor or therapist’s office, they do so for different reasons, too. Some of the reasons our LGBTQ+ clients have sought our services are to address:
