I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives. The therapeutic journey is one that is better done as teamwork between therapist and client and that's what I strive for. I am a person-centered counselor who values the quality of the therapist-client relationship above all else. I incorporate humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and other empirically based techniques and interventions that are individually tailored for each client. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Buena Vista University, and my JD from Drake University
The bulk of my work and experience is with trauma. Carrying unprocessed trauma is a whole body ailment from which you cannot just "get over." One does not simply "move on" from trauma. A good therapist can help you!
Deciding to make that first call can be the hardest part. Please reach out; I'd like to help you. If I am not the right fit as a therapist for you, I will help you find someone who is.
