An ideal client is one that understands that therapy is not just for affirming, but rather a challenging process to help correct negative thinking patterns and habits that cause distress in their lives. A client deserves support, care, and sometimes a person to just listen to, but therapy is not for individuals that want someone to be a "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" to everything they believe in. I firmly believe that those that seek therapy do so because something is not congruent in their life at this point, and need guidance to be able to see what is just outside of their vision. Blindly agreeing with someone does not achieve this.

I take into account the whole person (mind/body/spirit) and provide a non-judgmental approach to therapy. Together we will focus on finding and resolving the factors that are at the root of your mental health symptoms. These symptoms are often natural responses/adaptations to stressful life circumstances and traumatic experiences. From this perspective, these psychological parts become imbalanced over time and can get stuck in the past. Once they are properly integrated in the here-and-now, we can begin to live a life that is true to our purpose and in alignment with our highest selves.

It is essential that clients feel heard and in control of their destination while being provided with a safe, non-judgmental environment to share their stories.

In 2016 I started working with parents with young children. Thus began a real passion of mine to support maternal and infant mental health outcomes. I thoroughly enjoy working with teenagers and parents of young children. In my sessions, I encourage and nourish a relaxing and lighthearted atmosphere that both welcomes all and encourages them to speak their truth. I’m a goofball a heart!

I have worked with children and adolescents in the quad cities area for over 8 years. Throughout most of that time, I have helped families with conflict resolution, a decrease in negative behavior (truancy, substance use, running away, etc.) and have seen great results. I am actively working on my play therapy (RPT) license under supervision. With a very small number of male play therapists in this area, I believe I can help fill a large void by helping children who have been impacted negatively by trauma or other setbacks. I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, and play therapy modalities, among others.

Parenting is so tough! Children face so many obstacles and sometimes we just don't know how to help them. It can feel like we've tried everything. When children are struggling they often act out behaviorally; or sometimes it shows up as stomach aches or problems sleeping. Allowing your child to come to therapy can give them the opportunity to learn more about themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. Working with a therapist can also provide you, as the parent, the support that you're looking for. We can all work together to help your child realize how amazing they really are and be more successful in their daily lives.

I work with adults/teens, to help them find more balance, acceptance, and meaning in their lives. I have experience helping those with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, phase of life issues, binge eating disorder, and addiction. I find I work well with individuals who describe themselves as “logical thinkers” and struggle with exploring their emotional side. I have a special place in my heart for veterans due to my own history of service. I believe this history has widened my perspective on life and increased my own mental flexibility, allowing me to connect with diverse populations including various age groups.

Finding the right therapist is like finding a great pair of hiking boots. You know you want to go on a journey and your boots need to fit right, handle different terrain, and take you the distance. Sometimes you may even need to try on a few different pairs. As a practice owner and therapist, I think my skill lies in matching you with someone in my group or in the community who can take you the distance with the right combination or personality, style, and technical skill. While I am not currently taking new clients, please reach out, and let's have a conversation about who might be your ideal fit.

Life is full of tough things. Support along the way can make a difference, particularly when it is offered in a welcoming, accepting and empathetic manner. My years of social service experience have given me a strong foundation in meeting clients where they are and hearing their needs and goals. I consider it a huge privilege when clients let me in to their lives; recognizing they are trusting me with their pain, hopes, families and lives in so many ways.

Hello! I've been a therapist for 30 years and have had many opportunities to witness courage and resiliency. Along with their struggles and concerns, clients bring many strengths including creativity, humor, kindness, forgiveness and compassion. Being a therapist has brought meaning and fulfillment to my life. I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm most experienced and interested in working with couples to improve their relationships at any stage of life and with individuals concerned with anxiety, life transitions, or depression.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
