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. 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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the counseling field. Many of my clients experience stress, grief, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and challenges surrounding blended families. My experience surrounds settings in both large cities and small towns with a span through a variety of cultures. It becomes an important piece of our work together that I tailor my counseling approach to your needs and comfort level. My desire to help, support and motivate others comes from a personal history with overcoming some of life's major challenges and obstacles. Learning there is support out there, knowing that we can overcome suffering and find our inner strength, has become an important mission for me. Cognitive behavioral, humanistic, empowering, and task oriented approaches are used widely in my practice. At times it can be simple daily challenges that become too overwhelming for us, while other times suffering from longer lasting challenges such as death and various trauma are why my clients seek support. When change is needed, whether we know what needs to be changed or not, we can take a look at what is going on around and within us. It is at this time that change can begin to occur. By taking the first step to a more healthy you, healing can begin, doors will open, growth occurs, and new life skills can be obtained. I hope to meet you and am glad you made it here.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Idaho can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy safe?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
