The first step is to reach out through the contact form on this website, by phone, or by email. From there, we can schedule a free 20 minute consultation to briefly talk about what you’re looking for and see if we feel like a good fit. If so, we’ll schedule an intake appointment and begin meeting for regular therapy sessions.

Sessions are typically 55 minutes, which allows a few minutes between appointments for documentation and transition time. Many clients start with weekly or every other week sessions, and over time we may taper to less frequent or as-needed meetings depending on goals and progress.

Telehealth is available for adult clients when needed. My practice primarily focuses on in person therapy, and when possible I prefer to begin with an intake session in person. Due to licensing laws, I can only provide telehealth services to clients who are physically located in Idaho at the time of the session.

I ask that clients provide at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged a $100 fee to the card on file.

I generally work with one member of an immediate family at a time to maintain clear therapeutic boundaries. It’s important that each person has their own private space in therapy where they can speak openly and freely. If multiple family members are seeking support, I’m happy to provide referrals to other trusted clinicians and collaborate when helpful.

My practice focuses primarily on individual therapy. When working with kids and teens, I often collaborate with parents or caregivers to support the work happening in therapy. If a family is looking for dedicated family therapy, I’m happy to help connect you with other trusted providers.

My practice is focused on individual therapy for adolescents and adults, so I do not currently provide couples therapy. If you are looking for couples counseling, I’m happy to help provide referrals to clinicians who specialize in that area.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. It works by using guided eye movements or other forms of gentle bilateral stimulation while you briefly focus on a memory, allowing your brain to reprocess it in a way that feels less intense and more manageable.

EMDR can be helpful for both children and adults. For kids, it’s often adapted to be more creative and play-based, while still supporting their ability to process difficult experiences. Many people find that EMDR helps them feel more at peace with the past and more present in their daily lives.
