Compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals and couples in Idaho and California

Life can feel overwhelming at times…whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Evergreen Psychology & Wellness, therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s getting in the way and build tools that support clarity, resilience, and lasting growth.

You deserve support that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in real understanding.

Welcome! I offer in-person and virtual therapy as well as psychological testing to individuals in Boise, Meridian, Eagle and the Treasure Valley & video sessions to residents of Idaho, California and 42 other U.S. states.

A Thoughtful, Personalized Approach to Therapy

No two people or stories are the same. Therapy at Evergreen Psychology & Wellness is tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I take an integrative, evidence-based approach, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies.

Our work together is collaborative and practical, while also allowing space for reflection, insight, and emotional depth. Whether you’re looking for coping strategies, deeper self-understanding, or support through a challenging season, therapy is shaped around what you need.

Services

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck…you’re not alone. I offer therapy and counseling services in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa, Caldwell, all over Idaho and California.

Individual Therapy

I offer individual therapy for young adults and adults who are ready to improve their lives and create a life worth living. Individual therapy is ideal for those who want to make lasting changes by understanding and reshaping their thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotions. I work with you to navigate challenges, build healthier habits, and develop the skills to manage life’s ups and downs. Whether you're dealing with specific issues or simply want to grow and thrive, I provide personalized support to help you build a stronger, more fulfilling life.

Couples Therapy

I provide couples therapy for partners who want to strengthen their relationship and work through challenges together. Whether you're dealing with communication issues, trust concerns, or simply want to deepen your connection, I will help you navigate these challenges and build a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Through therapy, you'll learn to understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and develop tools to manage conflict in a constructive way.

Perinatal Mental Health (Pregnancy & Postpartum)

I support individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood—a time that can bring joy alongside unexpected emotional challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, therapy offers a space to feel understood and supported. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, build coping tools, and help you feel more confident and connected during this transition.

Infertility & Reproductive Mental Health

I provide therapy for individuals and couples coping with infertility, fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, and reproductive decision-making. These experiences can bring grief, uncertainty, strain on relationships, and a deep sense of isolation. In therapy, I help clients process loss, manage anxiety, navigate complex emotions, and strengthen communication with partners and loved ones. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, supporting you as you move through difficult decisions and find steadiness during an often overwhelming journey.

Psychological Testing

Testing isn’t just labels; it’s about understanding you and finding a path forward. I provide comprehensive psychological testing, ADHD testing, testing for learning disorders and more types of evaluations for children, teens, and adults between the ages of 6 and 90. If you are looking for accommodations for school or standardized testing, my assessments meet criteria. I also provide assessment services as needed. Feel free to schedule a phone consultation if you are looking for something specific. My assessments provide a comprehensive view of cognitive, emotional, and learning profiles, including any areas of strength and any areas growth.

TeleTherapy

I understand that life can be busy, and sometimes getting to an in-person therapy session isn't always feasible. That's why I offer convenient, confidential Telehealth therapy options, allowing you to access quality mental health support from the comfort of your home—or anywhere that’s private and comfortable for you. Whether you’re managing stress, navigating personal challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I am here to support you through secure video or phone sessions.

What You Can Expect

• A calm, supportive environment where you feel heard and respected

• A collaborative approach that values your insight and autonomy

• Evidence-based strategies tailored to your real life

• Clear goals and ongoing feedback as therapy progresses

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. My role is to help create a space that feels safe, steady, and grounded—where meaningful work can unfold over time.
