Our counselors provide therapy in Meridian, ID

I was raised in Central Idaho and later attended college on the east coast where I earned my Bachelor of Science and Master of Social Work. Throughout my career, I have worked in hospital and outpatient settings, with experience focused on crisis intervention, threat assessment and helping people navigate life challenges. I have developed a strong interest working with older adults around aging, grief and loss and life transitions. Influenced by Viktor Frankl, I believe that even when we cannot choose our circumstances we can choose how we respond, reconnect with what matters and find meaning. ,

My approach is collaborative and grounded in meaning, values and personal responsibility. I help individuals explore meaning, recognize their freedom to choose their response to circumstances and find greater clarity, resilience and direction.

Life can sometimes leave us feeling uncertain about what comes next. I offer thoughtful, nonjudgemental space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing and consider what comes next.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience, licensed in both Nevada and Idaho. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, including family homes, community mental health centers, and private practice. I specialize in helping clients work through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on building resilience.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Nevada, where I developed a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I use approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and internal family systems to guide the healing process.

Clients often share that they leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. I create a safe space where you feel understood and supported. Together, we can strengthen your coping skills, improve relationships, and build confidence so you feel empowered to bring meaningful change into your daily life.

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.
