As a psychotherapist with 25+ years experience I provide depth therapy for people suffering from personal or collective trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, identity concerns, grief and loss, religious injury, emptiness, mood regulation, creative blocks, and career and life transition struggles. Depth psychotherapy not only addresses one's immediate personal life problems, but also explores the underlying psychological and spiritual issues that might be contributing to your suffering. It can provide an opportunity to become more conscious of unhealthy and maladaptive patterns and increase overall well-being.

Currently accepting new clients. I work at New Life Counseling's West Des Moines office location, but also meet with clients via Zoom. Many of my clients struggle with mental health challenges, marital problems, hidden addictions, self-esteem issues, spiritual formation issues, lack of support from community, ongoing shame (suppress feelings, mask symptoms), and self-sufficiency (figure it out myself, fix it without outside help). My hope is that you would feel supported and accepted, as we work together in discovering the root issues that may be impacting your identity and relationships.

“What you seek is seeking you.” The mere fact that you are looking for a therapist right now tells me that you are ready to heal. We all go through ups and downs in life, and sometimes we just need someone to listen without fear of judgement. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, and can’t quite, “get over it.” Perhaps you are showing one side of yourself to the world, but internally dying to be recognized for who you show yourself when nobody is looking. There are so many different reasons as to why you are choosing now to look in the mirror. I can help you see with clarity, with an unbiased, open-minded viewpoint.

"We are all broken.....that's how the light gets in" (Hemmingway). What works for us, works against us. Instead of these parts fighting each other, we need to understand and appreciate both to grow and prosper. Do you find yourself struggling with relationships, work, meaning of life events, grieving, general life stressors, or energy? My approach to psychotherapy includes empowering you to make decisions to help with movement in your journey through life.

Seeking help with life challenges can be intimidating. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel comfortable to explore their struggles, reach their goals and find hope that leads to healing. Over the years in a variety of social service roles assisting children and families, I have learned that it is essential to find the right person with whom you can build an authentic connection and from whom you can receive support. I believe we can find that connection together.

Working with others and navigating through life's challenges together has been a strong calling and a personal passion for me. I typically use a solution-focused and strength-based approach primarily working with teens, young adults, adults, and couples. Many of my clients face anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, overcoming trauma, and a need for goal setting and coaching. I have spent years working in case management, non-profit agency work, school counseling, and athletics and have learned the importance of striving to connect, invest, advocate, and strategize with others to help them find hope and fulfillment.
