Support for individuals, couples, and families in Meridian, Idaho
Every person and relationship that walks through the door is different, so therapy looks different depending on what you need. Whether you are working through something on your own, navigating a relationship with a partner, or trying to understand patterns within your family, therapy offers a consistent, honest space to slow down, be understood, and work toward something that feels different. Sessions are available in person in Meridian and by telehealth throughout Idaho.
What working together can look like
Individual therapy is collaborative rather than scripted. Depending on what you bring in, sessions may include exploring your history and current relationships, noticing how emotions show up in your body, practicing new ways of responding to stress or conflict, or working directly with experiences that still feel unresolved through approaches like Brainspotting. We move at a pace that respects your comfort and readiness — you are never required to disclose more than you are ready to share.
Who I work with
Individual therapy
Individual therapy is an ongoing, one-on-one relationship focused on your experience — what you are carrying, what has shaped you, and what you want to feel different.
Couples therapy
Couples therapy is not only for relationships in crisis. Many couples come to therapy simply because they want to communicate better, feel closer, or understand each other more clearly — not because something has gone wrong.
Family therapy
Family therapy looks at the relationships and patterns within a family system, rather than treating any one person as "the problem."
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma is not only about what happened to you — it is also about how your nervous system, beliefs, and relationships adapted in response. Trauma therapy is a space to understand those adaptations and, at a pace that respects your readiness, work toward feeling less controlled by them.
Anxiety & depression
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, a racing mind, difficulty resting, or a body that feels keyed up even when nothing is obviously wrong. Depression can show up as disconnection, low motivation, or a persistent sense of being stuck. Therapy can help you understand what's driving these experiences and build a more workable relationship with them.
Brainspotting in Meridian, Idaho
Brainspotting is an experiential therapy approach that uses visual focus, body awareness, relational attunement, and mindful observation to support emotional processing. It can be used on its own or integrated into ongoing talk therapy.
What a session may look like
A Brainspotting session typically involves identifying a specific eye position, or "brainspot," associated with the issue you're working on, while I offer gentle guidance and stay attuned to your reactions. You remain seated, aware, and in control throughout the process. Some clients notice emotional or physical shifts during a session; others notice more subtle changes over time — every response is considered valid.
My training
I have completed Brainspotting Phase 1 and Phase 2 training with Lisa Larson through Pacific Brainspotting, as well as Phase 5 training with Brainspotting founder David Grand through the Brainspotting Institute. I have also completed individual Brainspotting consultation with Melanie Twite and am continuing advanced consultation and recorded-session requirements in pursuit of Brainspotting certification.
Brainspotting is one option among several tools used in therapy at Nova Collective — it is offered when it seems like a good fit for your goals, not as a required or standalone treatment, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
