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

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Boise, ID can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Boise therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety can vary from person to person and even change in the way it affects you from day to day. But, it’s main characteristic is the excessive uncontrollable worry you experience. This worry can make you feel hopeless, fearful, and generally unhappy. Fortunately, there is an effective treatment option available to those who suffer from any form of anxiety: anxiety therapy.

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. It’s the feeling you get when you’re running late to work or when you get a “we need to talk” text. To some degree, anxiety is a good thing. It keeps us on our toes and alert in certain situations. However, when it turns into one of the disorders as we mentioned above, it can do more harm than good.
