My Approach
I work with teens and adults across Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah struggling with anxiety conditions, OCD, and insomnia. This includes generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, and phobias. I also provide parent-focused treatment for caregivers supporting a child or teen with anxiety or OCD. My clients want to worry less, sleep better, and live with greater confidence and freedom.
My style is warm and collaborative, grounded in curiosity and respect for each client’s strengths, values, and lived experience. With a 25-year background in movement-based practices and outdoor sports in rural mountain communities, I bring a whole-person perspective to therapy, combining practical strategies and steady support to help clients feel more confident navigating life's challenges.
Education, Training, & Professional Memberships
I earned my Master of Social Work from Boston University with a specialization in clinical mental health, and have deepened my expertise through extensive post-graduate training. I draw from both traditional and mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches to help clients understand what keeps them stuck and move toward meaningful change.
I am an active member of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS), the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine, and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
Practice Details and Supervision
I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, and in-person sessions at Rooted Therapy Cooperative in Driggs, Idaho. As a lifelong learner committed to quality care, I engage in weekly peer consultation and mentorship with leading experts in the field, ensuring I bring the most current, evidence-based treatment to the rural communities I serve.
I practice under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Weis, a licensed clinical psychologist, Rachel Mackey, LCPC, and Jean Abrams, LCSW. You can find more information about Dr. Weis at tetonpsych.com, Rachel at Rooted Therapy Cooperative, and Jean at Jean Abrams Counseling and Consulting.
