3 therapists in Idaho matching your needs

I am a Licensed Clinical Social work with my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University and a Master's in Social Work from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have 18 years of clinical practice. I am licensed in NJ for in-person/telehealth and telehealth only in ME, VA, VT, DE, ID.

I operate from the stance that people were not intended to suffer alone. Often, burdens that appear too heavy or too great to move beneath feel that way because the individual does not have adequate resources and skills to process the situations or experiences. As a therapist, I have been blessed to stand alongside many individuals as they planted their feet back on the ground and learned to skills necessary to alter their view of self or to shift so that they became bigger than their pain. I have worked in both in-patient and private practice settings over the course of the last eight years. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, addiction, process addictions, families, parenting concerns, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am capable of engaging in Christian therapy if desired by the client. Overall, my goal as a therapist is to work beside the client as they learn to meet their goals, not to stand in front and pull them along or stand behind and push them. If we need to stand still and sort through some obstacles before moving forward, then that is part of the process and time well spent.

I have 5 years of experience as a clinician. In addition to excellent rapport building skills, I utilize a combination of several therapeutic orientations including motivational interviewing, strengths-based, person-centered, CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, somatic-based, and mindfulness-based techniques. I believe it’s important to find the right therapist to assist you in your journey. This process can be arduous and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing difficult topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals.
