About
You don't have to figure it all out alone; together, we'll explore the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your emotional resilience, and build a life that feels more connected, balanced, and authentic.
Dedicated to working with individuals of all ages, I focus on collaboratively uncovering each person's inherent strengths and talents. I am passionate about helping clients craft new life stories that highlight their perseverance and resilience in overcoming life's challenges. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a master's degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
My clinical practice draws from DBT, Narrative Therapy, and ACT, all within a trauma-informed, strength-based framework. Our first meeting is a collaborative space designed for comfort and clarity. We'll spend our time getting to know each other, discussing what brings you to therapy, and gently outlining your goals.
My style is person-centered, emphasizing the importance of human connection and holding space for people to explore themselves and their needs in a safe and affirming environment.

No one lives in a box, and I look at the entire person which means how physical health and environment impacts and interplays with mental health.
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was different than most. I completed my bachelor's degree and floundered, not finding a career that felt right before returning to school to become a nurse, then nurse practitioner. Throughout school, I was the go-to person when others needed someone to listen, so mental health and psychiatry felt like the obvious choice. I have worked in a variety of settings, from the corrections to mental health crisis centers. I began working as a psychiatric NP in 2013, with extensive experience in serious mental illness, addiction, depression, anxiety, and substance use within my own family.
As a nurse practitioner I incorporate my insight from all my various life experiences and work settings to create an individualized plan that addresses the patient as a whole person, not just their mental health medication. My goal is to help someone feel better and have a better quality of life.
Each of my patients is an individual to me, with their own life, stressors, and challenges—but also their own skills and strengths. I want to focus on the positives and moving forward in reaching healing and recovery, not just in mental health but also life in general.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
