Meet the Counselors

---

I hold a Psychology degree from Liberty University and a Master’s in Social Work from Northwest Nazarene University. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in Christ-centered counseling for trauma, addiction, and mental health. I’m trauma-certified in Idaho, trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and credentialed as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT).

At SafeHaven Counseling Center, I offer a holistic, faith-based approach—integrating emotional, physical, and spiritual care. I’ve had the honor of walking with individuals, couples, families, children, and first responders through seasons of deep pain and growth.

Whether you're facing anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, or past trauma, I provide a safe, prayerful space to explore your story, deepen your faith, and rediscover hope. My mission is to support your healing journey and help you step into the life God has prepared for you.

Areas of focus: trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, sexual abuse, and spiritual concerns.

I am passionate about mental wellness, physical health, and helping clients build a strong mind-body connection. My primary treatment approaches are CBT and DBT, which support clients in identifying root causes of unhealthy patterns, managing emotions, and developing healthier behaviors. I work with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional healing.

As a certified health and wellness coach, I also help clients set and achieve fitness and nutrition goals with a focus on feeling strong and empowered—both mentally and physically. I enjoy encouraging growth, improving communication and self-expression, and supporting parents in fostering healthy family dynamics. Currently, I work primarily online while based in Coeur d’Alene, ID, which allows me to offer flexible care to clients wherever they are.
