Life is like a rucksack filled with life events; I want to help you unload your rucksack. As a therapist my goal is to help you get to where you want to be. My commitment is to walk beside you and guide you through not only your toughest days but your best days as well. I believe no one should be judged for their worst day. My passion is to work with the teenagers as well as with Veterans. I provide telehealth services in both Iowa and Missouri.
I am Master Certified in ART. I am DBT certified for adolescents as well as tele-health to assist clients with emotional regulation. I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, a therapy that is heavily utilized in the VA to help Veterans with trauma.
I am ready to walk the walk with you, and to assist you in this chaotic journey that we call life.

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma related to military experience. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see an immediate relief of symptoms within a few sessions and sustained improvement thereafter.
