Together we explore how past wounds and attachment trauma impact present day relationships and endeavors. My approach is holistic and designed to cultivate lasting change for adult individuals and partners navigating relationship challenges seeking to integrate mind, body, and lived experiences for overall life satisfaction and improved mental wellness.

I take trust very seriously. I have always been the person others can confide in and know there is not a risk of judgment.

I'm here to listen to your story, and feel it is important that my clients get an education on the therapeutic process, skill building, training, and accountability.

As a veteran and mental health counselor, my mission has been to erase the stigma around mental illness while helping improve the lives of those in need.

My office is a safe, confidential environment where you can feel comfortable opening up about your thoughts and ideas. Together, we can build a therapeutic plan that meets your individual needs.

An effective therapeutic experience is a partnership between client and therapist. I enjoy being witness to an individuals recovery from various struggles brought on by the human condition. My belief in strength and resiliency has served as an important cornerstone in my approach to therapy.

How can I tell my troubles to a stranger? What will they think of me? Part of mental health therapy is creating a safe space for people to come to and talk about whatever they want to talk about. I believe trust is essential for successful outcomes. I've been the daughter, the spouse, the parent, and the human who is struggling with past and present challenges. It is important to me to give you the space you need. I specialize in helping narcisisstic/gaslighting survivors, autism spectrum disorder, self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, kids 12 and over, adults, individuals, and families.

Trauma comes in many forms. Whether it's the death of a loved one, abuse & violence, DHS involvement, a bad break-up, chronic illness, criminal justice involvement, chemical dependency, or loss of parental rights; experiencing trauma can feel very isolating. You might find yourself feeling detached from others or having difficulty with developing authentic connections with people. Maybe you feel lost and uncertain about how to carry on. Or maybe you're finding yourself lashing out at others with little or no reason. Somedays it can feel like nobody understands your pain or how broken you feel.

I work with all ages, including children and adolescents, adults and elders. I specialize in a variety of areas including stress, anger management, developmental disorders, mood disorders and substance abuse.

Wherever you are on your journey to healing, I’m ready to provide a listening ear and a safe space where we can work together and help you achieve your goals.

I am available to meet with you in-person or via video teletherapy.

I work with clients who are struggling with complicated grief, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, sexual abuse, relationship concerns and substance abuse. Counseling works great for people who are willing to do things different so they can have a more positive outcome. Mental health is not something to be ashamed of and does not have to be a life sentence. Most people struggle at some point in their life and could use some support. There are other counselors in the practice that can also provide help. Visit us at www.rrcsmentalhealth.com We look forward to helping you with your journey.

Currently offering sessions via telehealth to clients in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin! I am a Licensed Counselor in all three states, and have been providing therapy services since 2012. I have dedicated my career to the Human Services field since 2004 and continue to be dedicated to the helping profession.

Throughout my career, I've found fulfillment in helping others discover their goals and potential. For the past 12 years, I've had the honor of working with servicemen in the military and their families, and I'm happy to now also serve the public beyond. My treatment approach addresses a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, divorce, grief, anger management, OCD, and ADHD. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) that I use to reprocess trauma and treat OCD, self-worth, and anxiety. I see children and individuals age 8 through adult.

I am passionate about partnering with my clients on their journey to improve their lives. It has been rewarding to watch the people I serve discover that they are already doing many things to help themselves through difficult situations, and our work together builds on those strengths. In sessions, you can expect to be heard, valued, and respected in a comfortable, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can find the tools you need to achieve your goals.

I have extensive experience helping clients manage several disorders. I enjoy working with clients with intense emotions such as shame, guilt, fear, and anger. I assist in managing symptoms coming from abuse, rejection, and other past traumas. I am aware that people often have the perception that they don't fit it in or are disconnected from others. I would like to be able to be a support person and help clients navigate feelings and relationships. As well as helping clients gain communication skills and build a healthy support network.
