Couples Counseling Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

In my extensive experience, I guide clients in developing their inner strength, awareness, and wisdom in a non-judgemental manner. Often, fear leads us to produce what we fear most, which results in an unhappy and vicious cycle. In working together, the aim is to uncover dysfunctional patterns that are contributing to, or even perpetuating, your challenges. As part of the treatment process, it is imperative to remove both internal and external barriers. We believe that this will allow clients to cope with their extreme anxiety, and foster an environment that allows them to engage and function as their authentic selves.
