Meadowbrook CounselingAmmon, Idaho

I believe that everyone deserves a supportive guide during challenging times, and I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life's transitions with grace and resilience. At the heart of my practice is a collaborative spirit. I meet you where you are, honor your story, and work with you to identify your goals for therapy. By thoughtfully integrating approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand inner dynamics, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster psychological flexibility, and Solution-Focused techniques to build on your strengths, I help create a tailored path forward. I welcome a wide range of clients, from children and teens to adults and couples. It is my privilege to offer a safe and nurturing space for those healing from trauma, supporting you as you reclaim your sense of safety and self.

Army and a combat veteran of Iraq, I have a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and personal transformation. My global experiences have shaped my identity as a compassionate, culturally sensitive therapist who values each person’s background and story. I specialize in Couples Therapy and helping individuals heal from toxic relationships. Whether you’re struggling in a difficult partnership or breaking free from harmful dynamics, I provide clarity, empowerment, and lasting change. I am particularly skilled in helping clients understand and set boundaries with individuals who exhibit traits of personality disorders, such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and other complex relational patterns. Beyond relationships, I am here for those who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether you’re battling anxiety or depression, questioning your identity, or facing an existential crisis, I offer a compassionate light to guide you through and out of the darkness. You don’t have to navigate these struggles alone—I am committed to helping you find clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, integrating Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and, when requested, a Theistic-centered approach that incorporates faith into the healing process. I strive to make therapy accessible, engaging, and transformative, creating a space where you feel understood, valued, and empowered to face life’s challenges and move forward with hope and resilience.

Through my graduate training, I have been prepared to work with a diverse range of clients, including multicultural individuals, couples, families, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. In therapy, I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), approaches that allow me to support clients with depth, empathy, and creativity. As a creative at heart, I love incorporating art and imaginative expression into the therapy space, helping to foster a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment where every person can feel truly seen and supported. I am especially passionate about working with couples at all stages of their journey—whether engaged, newly married, navigating separation, or healing after divorce—as well as with new parents and those facing challenges related to sexuality and shame. Additionally, I have a deep commitment to supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. Outside of my work, you’ll often find me reading, painting, writing, and spending time with my loved ones. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Let’s connect!

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process and take a strengths-based, client-centered approach, striving to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I have experience in both school and clinical settings and am especially interested in trauma, emotional regulation, and helping clients reconnect with their strengths. I also speak on topics related to resilience and mental health, reflecting my passion for supporting others both in and outside of the therapy space.
