About
As a retired Army non-commissioned officer and multiple-tour combat veteran, I relate personally to the many challenges of reintegration to the civilian world and combat-related stress.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and group treatment settings, and I have extensive experience working with military veterans, law enforcement, first responders, and individuals affected by post-traumatic stress. I help clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and anger by creating a safe, supportive, and grounded space where meaningful healing and introspection can begin.
I earned my master’s in social work from Northwest Nazarene University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and client-centered care. My approach includes talk therapy, supportive services, lifestyle changes, healthy living planning, activity scheduling, outdoor engagement, and meditation to help clients reach their goals.
I look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on your path to healing. By taking this first step and scheduling an appointment, you are choosing to prioritize your emotional health and overall well-being. I am committed to helping you build resilience, discover new strengths, and move toward a healthier, more empowered version of yourself.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Idaho, ID is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
