Are you trying to figure out where you're going in life? Do you feel aimless in your goals but unsure how to ask for guidance? Or perhaps you're just feeling "a bit off" but you aren't sure if therapy is right for you. This is a hard place to be, especially when things mostly appear "just fine" on the outside. Many people feel this way but don't reach out for help. You could be struggling with anxiety or depression.

The downfalls of life can leave us feeling worried, helpless, or anxious. We try to protect ourselves from pain…albeit trauma, losses, or hardships. We may experience panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, endless worries and many doubts. Fear, anxiety, or depression take us farther away from ourselves and the fulfilled life we can lead. Healing can feel scary, alone, and overwhelming. It takes courage to reach out for support.

I am a therapist who helps adults and couples who are struggling with life’s hurtful problems: single parenthood, relationship conflicts, divorce, difficulties at college, depression/anxiety, a partner or parent’s alcoholism, mental illness in the family, stress at work, news of a serious disease or financial reversal, caring for aged parents, overcoming a traumatic childhood, “empty nest syndrome,” the special pressures on military families, and so forth.
Our work together would begin by focusing on the here-and-now, so that you can experience some immediate feelings of being heard and of moving forward.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW from the University of Northern Iowa in 2018, where I specialized in trauma processing and trauma-informed care. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and work with depression, anxiety, anger management, and addiction, among other issues. I like to use an eclectic style in my treatment modalities, and I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy. I think people are the experts on their own experiences, so I enjoy working with individuals to tailor their mental health services to meet their needs.
