I'm licensed as a counselor (LPC) in Idaho and Arizona, with five years of therapy experience. My goal is to listen, come alongside, and empower women.
I recently completed training to become a certified clinical trauma professional. I counseled children with trauma for a few years, and for over one year have been focusing on women. In addition, I have knowledge of religious trauma.
I also recently learned qualitative research in a doctoral certificate program. My own position as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother led me to begin researching women and gender roles. I have a husband and three children ages 8, 15 and 17.
Often, women (and men) are unaware that their mental health problems stem from dysfunctional family systems that may include relational patterns that are toxic or abusive, and social systems such as patriarchy.
I continue to learn more in the psychology field - because as humans, we are always learning and growing. I use a person-centered, holistic, and eclectic approach tailored to each unique individual. I'm here to help you build relational skills, including how to relate to your own inner self.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Depression, Compassion fatigue, Adoption and Foster Care, Attachment issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Domestic Violence, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Multicultural Concerns, Narcissism, Self-love, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Women's issues
