When you're tired of pretending to be happy or not getting effective treatment, it's time to see me at Perma Mental Health. I believe that the key to psychological well-being and growth comes through an ability to fully accommodate emotion without judgment and with supportive presence while experiencing the present moment as it arises. I offer a unique and holistic approach to psychotherapy, based in mindfulness and contemplation. I assists clients to explore their conscious experience in a supportive and person-centered manner using meditation, trauma informed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavior therapy and various applied clinical interventions. I have worked in mental health for nearly 20 years. An Idaho Native, I grew up in East Idaho and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 2003 from Boise State University. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho since 2010 and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor since 2017
