About
As a lifelong Idahoan, I understand the struggle to find mental health care and I returned to my home state to be a provider for those seeking a compassionate and empathetic counselor.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, OCD, depression, and relationship and family concerns. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in meaningful change, and I work collaboratively with clients to clarify their goals and align their values with the life they want to build.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Arizona University. My work is grounded in a cognitive behavioral framework, with treatment tailored to each individual’s needs. I frequently use exposure and response prevention therapy, particularly when working with clients experiencing anxiety and OCD.
I strive to create a supportive, empowering environment where you feel understood and challenged in healthy ways. Together, we will identify effective strategies to enhance your well-being and strengthen your confidence as you move forward. I look forward to partnering with you on your path toward meaningful and lasting growth.

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.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Meridian, ID provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Meridian is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue for a long time, it’s easy to lose perspective. Sometimes it may feel easier to pretend that you’re fine and avoid the issues you’re experiencing. Many people don’t seek out help simply because they don’t see a way out but psychologists and other mental health professionals have dedicated their lives to helping people just like you.
If issues with your mental health are holding you back or interfering with your life, you don’t have to go it alone. Consider reaching out to a Thriveworks psychologist in Meridian, ID to help you begin your journey to healing.
Many people can benefit from seeing a clinical psychologist, whether they’re in the midst of a crisis or have long been dealing with feelings of unhappiness or low self-worth. No matter what your particular mental health concerns are, a psychologist can provide invaluable insight to help you overcome many of life’s obstacles.
Our clinical psychologists help with a wide range of mental health issues, including:
Psychologists can diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental health issues. By studying and conducting research into the impact of biological, social, and environmental factors on thinking and emotions, psychologists can offer a helpful perspective on many of life’s common challenges.
A psychologist typically employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or other forms of talk therapy as a means of treating mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. CBT in particular is centered on analyzing patterns of thinking and the effect they have on your feelings and behaviors. Negative thinking patterns can contribute to many emotional and behavioral problems, and can also impact your self-esteem. Fortunately, they can be unlearned and replaced with more beneficial ones with the help of a trained professional.
The problem-solving skills and coping mechanisms learned from CBT and other forms of talk therapy can have a wide variety of applications throughout your life. After therapy, clients may find they have improved communication skills, can anticipate and better deal with common stressors, and make healthier choices in their careers and relationships.
At Thriveworks, we believe in making mental health services accessible and convenient for everyone. If you’re a new client, you can likely meet with a provider within the week. Online sessions are also available, offering a convenient option for therapy without having to leave the comfort of your home. We even offer evening and weekend sessions so you can meet with a therapist at a time that works for your schedule.
If issues like depression and anxiety have been holding you back from the life you want to live, it’s important to know that help is available. Schedule an appointment with the mental health professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Meridian, ID and take the first step in your mental health journey.
