Elders (65+) Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

My passion in life is to help you thrive. My approach to marriage, family, and relationships is unique because I am keenly aware of how your view of the world, yourself, and how you view others affects all aspects of your life and your relationships. I'm a compassionate straight shooter who will help you reshape your past and set a firm foundation for the future. I focus less on diagnosing you and more on helping you to connect deeply with others and discover solutions to move forward. My desire is for you not to have to come back.

There is hope. Change is possible. Support is out there. Are you working through life transitions, feeling stuck, wondering about how to feel more calm and settled? Are you wanting to find healthier coping techniques, and reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms of depression and anxiety? Perhaps you need support for parenting challenges, want to improve relationships, gain insight, or desire ways to communicate well? Maybe you want to build confidence and self-esteem, or are having vocational stress or seeking career change? Looking for support and new ideas for change in general?

Taking the first step towards change, healing & growth can be difficult. My laid back approach will create a safe, supportive, & trusting environment for you. This will provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is needed to help you with your mental health. I focus on empowering clients to gain an overall well-being through client-centered, strength-based therapy. This provides a promising foundation for treating trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, eating disorders, personality disorders, daily life stress, work stress, & grief.

Being stuck in an emotional tornado with no end is devastating. The past year+ has been full of hurt, fear, loss, and the unexpected... to say the least. You end up feeling lost, unsure of yourself, your relationships, your job, your whole world. You end up feeling alone, feeling a hole in your body that can't or is refusing to be filled, feeling like shit at the end of most days. Sometimes you see a glimmer of hope... yet you doubt it's real.

**CURRENT OPENINGS AVAILABLE** Experienced Therapist and Homeopath specializing in providing a holistic approach to healing mental and emotional symptoms. I provide a combination of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and for those that want it, homeopathy. Many clients who come to me have been unsuccessful in previous therapy and are feeling STUCK. Why is it so hard to break addictions and change patterns? I also work with clients who don't want to take medications, or who want to get off medications they are currently taking.

*Accepting new clients* It can be hard to make it these days! With responsibilities continuing to pile up, work, kids, now a pandemic to worry about, it's understandable to feel overwhelmed. Reaching out for help can make a big difference in how you manage these and other life stresses though. Whether you need help working issues out with a partner, stresses with kids, stepkids, or grandkids, or just need someone to talk to about what's happening in your story, I'd be honored to hear it.

In our busy and sometimes stressful lives, self-care is imperative. Tending to our own mental health may become necessary if the struggle becomes overwhelming to manage alone. Once you've made the decision that therapy is the next step for you, finding the right neutral, compassionate, non-judgmental and empathetic therapist is of the utmost importance. My mission is to build a therapeutic alliance with you using a collaborative approach to reach your goals. The evidence-based approaches and interventions that I use are designed to assist you in further identifying and tapping into the strengths you already possess.

My direct phone is 319-364-5106. My areas of special interest are grief counseling and helping those coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, spirituality , relationship issues, existential struggles, and recovery from domestic violence. I have years of experience doing individual, premarital, and couple therapy. I am especially sensitive to those who've had losses and are coping with sadness, sorrow, or grief. My clients tell me I have exceptional listening skills and the ability to make each person feel valued. I value each person's story and honor it as I help people find meaningful, healthy, and productive lives.

My clinical approach is client centered and trauma informed. Through assessment, I approach a presented issue through multiple lenses in order to appropriately apply treatment. Some examples include introducing new perspectives, focusing on self-discovery and self-awareness, and building/strengthening emotion regulation skills. The client-therapist relationship is best built on transparency and working together to build the session and treatment plan that is tailored to the client's needs.

Reach out. I will listen. Are you feeling lost? Like you just don't know where to turn? I strive to offer a safe, respectful and compassionate space where you are able to work through the difficulties that life has brought. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life and more unique situations than I can count: all the way from the most severe traumas, transitions into parenthood or college, through divorce or separation, supporting understanding of our own mind/body. I work through a trauma-informed lens and want you to thrive, not just survive.
