Therapeutic Heights 

Offering individual and couples counseling in Meridian, Idaho

Have you been experiencing…

Difficulties with finding joy in life or being present in the moment? Consumed with fears of the future or being stuck in the past? Maybe you find yourself withdrawing from life, feeling exhausted from the day-to-day and pushing yourself just to make it through. Perhaps you and your partner are stuck in a cycle of conflict, rehashing the same topics without coming to a resolution.

  • Many clients seeking help feel overwhelmed and stuck despite trying to make change. At Therapeutic Heights, we offer personalized, evidence-based therapy to support lasting change. You’re not alone—we’re here to help you move forward.

  • People stay trapped in anxiety or depression because these feelings, though painful, are familiar. The fear of the unknown and discomfort of change often outweigh the desire to heal, making it hard to break free.

    Recognizing this dynamic is key in therapy. Personalized, evidence-based methods help individuals build discomfort tolerance, explore new thinking, and foster emotional well-being, guiding them beyond anxiety and depression toward a balanced life.

  • Many couples struggle with repeated, unresolved conversations that cause frustration and emotional distance. At Therapeutic Heights we offer personalized, evidence-based therapy to improve communication, address core issues, and foster understanding. If you and your partner are stuck in these patterns, professional counseling can help rebuild trust and strengthen your relationship.

How I Can Help

I specialize in counseling and helping people move forward in life.

  • Anxiety greatly changes how people think, often causing them to think negatively and make poor decisions. Those with anxiety may have racing thoughts or dwell on worst-case scenarios, making it hard to focus and understand information. Learn More

  • Depression significantly impacts cognitive functions, leading to difficulties in concentration, memory, and decision-making. Individuals may experience a pervasive sense of mental fog, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming. Cognitive decline can exacerbate feelings of helplessness and frustration, creating a vicious cycle that deepens the depressive state. Learn more

  • Trauma can significantly alter the brain's function and structure. Following a traumatic event, the stress response activates, impacting the amygdala, which processes emotions and fear, and the hippocampus, vital for memory and learning. This can lead to heightened anxiety, emotional difficulties, and memory formation issues, potentially resulting in PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders. Understanding trauma's effects on the brain is essential for effective therapeutic intervention and healing.
