Therapists in Alburnett, IA

Do you ever want someone to talk with about stressors, life challenges or improve your mood? Let's face it 2020 brought more changes and perhaps challenges to us all. Perhaps, your child needs to talk with someone about their stress/mood or learn new ways to express their feelings? We all need support at times. Therapy is support and teaming with a therapist to identify possible solutions to the stressors in our lives. I would be honored to talk and work with you.

Pain, illness, and trauma can create instability within our lives. Optimal health and healing is more complex than simple mental or emotional wellbeing. At OmniHealing Psychotherapy, I strive for holistic healing involving every aspect of an individual's life - mental, physical, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual - by harnessing the brain and body's innate ability to heal itself. I believe individuals have the answers within themselves to produce desired change and healing. My job is to help facilitate discovery of those answers and aid in navigating through obstacles to promote healing.

I look forward to helping you seek greater peace and conflict resolution - helping you find an increased overall life balance. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them work through former and current conflict and stressors. I use cognitive behavioral techniques to assist in challenging distorted thoughts and patterns. I have a focus in helping those who struggle with depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship or family conflicts, life transitions, and issues surrounding grief and loss.

I strongly believe in the inherent resilience and potential for growth within every individual. My role as a therapist is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help you tap into your strengths and navigate life.

I have immediate openings in-person or by Telehealth for pre-teens, teens and adults. Perhaps you or your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, isolation or low self-esteem. When working with clients, I assist in helping them recognize their worth and various strengths. Together we can work on addressing many day-to-day difficulties by building upon existing strengths and positive attributes.

My goal in therapy is to create that space through acceptance, connection, and compassion. Through a collaborative process I hope to help individuals find their voice, create balance through mindfulness, and work towards their goals. I understand that working towards change can be overwhelming and that embracing openness can allow for new experiences in life. I am willing to be there with you to find peace within and be present the way you want to in life, through creating new meaning.

I believe that at any given moment we are all doing the best that we can with what we have within us. Everyone has found themselves in the midst of the struggle at some point, and that struggle may appear the same or differently each time. I enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns such as anxious/depressive symptoms, relationship conflict, trauma, and personality disorders. No one can force a change to happen so there is never a guarantee of services. However, if you are looking for someone to provide safety and support while challenging you to better understand yourself and your roles - this may be a good space for you.

Areas of expertise include: Women’s and Men’s issues, Couples/ Family/Individual therapy (LGBTQ inclusive in all categories of therapy). Trauma in many forms, Depression and anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, acute stress and Post traumatic Stress Disorder, and personality disorders. I work with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy model, and Internal Family Systems model. Most clients have internal conflicts that are difficult to sort, and difficult to understand how to mediate. From experience I have found We can build a gentler, more tolerant way of residing with conflict and pain.

Not all of us are given the book on how to have healthy and fulfilling relationships with others or ourselves. It takes courage to explore and share what we are struggling with and begin to write (or rewrite) our book on how we want to feel and be in the world. You deserve to experience connection, relief, and acceptance in order to feel secure enough to explore and take risks. My goal is to get curious about the blocks that keep you from experiencing those qualities in your life and collaborate with you to remove them.

Does your child put themselves down, worry all the time, or appear sad or depressed? Is your child struggling with social isolation or being bullied? Raising a healthy and happy child is harder than ever. If you’re feeling confused, frustrated or stuck, I can work to assist your child in coping with social, personal and other challenges.

I've been a therapist for more than 16years and am passionate about working with children and families. I offer teletherapy and in person therapy. If your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, impulse control, hyperactivity, inattention, poor boundaries, anger outbursts, emotional regulation, adjusting to separation/divorce, blending families, coping with the death of a loved one or even a family pet, I'm here to help.

Day-to-day life can be challenging! When you add symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma, life becomes unbearable. Naturally, we are not born knowing how to navigate the flood of feelings or the loneliness that comes from stress, trauma, and losses. Attempting to fix it yourself or ignoring the problem can result in a cycle of escalating emotions. But you don't have to do this alone. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where together we process your personality, values, and strengths and use them to get you to a better and calmer place. I use evidence-based psychotherapy approaches that best suit you, including CBT and ACT.

Are you queer? Do you have a queer family member, partner, or kid? I provide queer & gender-affirming mental health care, WPATH-informed psychosocial assessments & letters of support, & mental health support to individuals, couples, parents, and families like yours who are often navigating confusing & less than accepting social & care scenarios. Have you experienced trauma? Unfortunately, queer people are more likely to have trauma. I help clients like you manage and process trauma so you can move forward.

Are you searching for inclusive mental health services that aim to address the root of your presenting symptoms whilst taking into account social and systemic factors? Maybe you feel that the providers you've seen thus far haven't been effective in helping you reach your goals of improving your overall well-being. I specialize in working with clients with a systems-based approach in order to not only provide a safe and inclusive environment but also to help you reach your goals through collaboration.

There are times in life where you may find yourself struggling and needing extra support. Major life transitions can cause stress in life and a need to understand who you are. I offer a space for you to explore the difficulties that you are facing and become more confident in who you are. We will look at what is holding you back as well as work through what might be standing in the way of you becoming your best self.

Deciding that we need help is not an easy thing to admit. It's even more difficult to reach out to get the help we know we deserve. No matter what you are dealing with in life, may it be daily anxiety and depression or transitioning through a phase in your life that turned out to be more difficult than you thought. I am here to listen and help you through these times. I hope that with my help you can live your life the way you have always wanted and feel proud for the work you have done to truly take care of yourself.
