Ida is licensed as an LPC in Arizona and Oregon and has worked across many cultural settings.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and match the approach to each person's needs.

Ida welcomes international clients and uses plain language to keep conversations direct and useful.
To start, she asks people to describe their present struggles and what they hope to change. From there she helps choose small, practical steps to try between sessions and checks progress over time.
