Awaken Mental Wellness

Your journey to healing starts here.

Welcome

Awaken Mental Wellness provides evidence-based therapeutic processes for individuals and families in Idaho Falls and the greater East Idaho area. We strive to create a welcoming environment where clients can heal, overcome barriers, and learn to live a more meaningful life. Our mission is to awaken internal resources for healing, uncover the impact of past influences, and explore uncharted emotional territory. Engaging in this transformational process can be scary, but it can also be exhilarating to liberate parts of yourself that have gone unheard, unfelt, or unfulfilled.

    Hi there. My counseling approach is strengths-based and uniquely tailored to promote self-awareness, clarification of strengths and values, and to increase your sense of purpose and meaning. Topics we explore might include life transitions, unresolved conflicts, unmet needs, existential concerns, spirituality, identity development, grief/loss, and interpersonal struggles.

    I practice from a trauma-informed, holistic perspective, blending a combination of Gestalt (parts work), Existential, Sand/Art Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies to reveal contributing factors of depression, anxiety, and trauma responses. In addition, I am trained to treat responses to traumatic experiences using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.

Appointments will take place in our private office space with complimentary beverages and individualized care. Our office is conveniently located off of Merlin Drive in Idaho Falls.

Can’t make it into the office? No worries – we’ve got you covered with teletherapy.
