Are you struggling with life's problems? Do they seem overwhelming? Many times, it is genetic. Often trauma. Sometimes, spiritual issues come into play. I can help. I am a Christian Counselor who is also quite adept at helping people with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and autism. I am Level One, myself. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years and help clients in multiple states. I can also diagnose autism with a few simple documents and a meeting. Do not pay a psychologist thousands for this. I can operate within your insurance coverage. Born in Dubuque, I have also lived in Davenport. I am a Hawkeye and Cyclones fan.
Most of my clients are Neurodivergent with anxiety problems and social issues. Many others are people grappling with generalized anxiety and depression from trauma or genetics. I have great experience helping those with mood disorders.
Regardless of how difficult life may be, it can improve quickly. Negative thoughts, ingrained beliefs about self, and social prejudice hold us in a destructive mental pattern. With consistent cognitive therapy, most mental health challenges can be dealt with, effectively, and faster than you may imagine.
