About
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Idaho, and have a nursing background. I have been working with individuals and families for 32 years, across many settings.
I believe that every person is an individual with specific needs, is of value, has strengths, has more right than wrong, deserves to be treated with respect, and benefits from being listened to.
What you can expect from me: a human connection, starting where you are at in your journey, walking with you at your own pace. Patience, compassion, respect, honesty. A desire to listen and really hear what you have to say. An individualized approach based on your needs and goals. Shared treatment planning. A safe and non-judgmental space. The offer of tools to help you meet your goals.
I have experience in working with people that have concerns related to the following:
Self-Esteem/Confidence
Anxiety
Stress
Depression
Situational Difficulties
Work-Related Issues
Grief
Relationships
Life Stage Issues
Motivation
Weight Loss
Insomnia
Chronic Illness
Dementia
Caregiver Support
Palliative Care (education, goals of care, and/or advance care planning related to health)
End of Life Issues
Work-related issues
LGBTQ
Modalities used include:
Person-Centered Therapy
Mindfulness Based Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Solution Focused Therapy
Motivational Interviewing
Systematic Desensitization related to medical procedures or traumatic accidents
I am available Monday through Thursday from 7:45am to 6:15pm. I check and respond to messages twice each of those days, and once on Friday.
The first step is recognizing a need for help, the second is reaching out. Both require courage. You are on your way to feeling better! I would like to walk with you through the next step of your journey. Reach out and see if we feel like a good fit.
