Medicaid Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

Currently have a waitlist for both telehealth and in-person clients. Welcome! I believe you already have the skills necessary to make significant change. I want to partner with you to identify your strengths and build on them to a healthier you. I am experienced in working with people during times of life transition, grief, depression, and anxiety. I provide empathetic and trauma informed therapy. I utilize humor when appropriate in an environment where you can feel comfortable and accepted.

Not currently accepting new clients at this time. Working in a variety of social work and mental health settings over the past 15 years, has taught me to implement a straightforward, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and empathetic approach, when working with people. As an interactive therapist, I offer a safe and supportive environment, where I encourage people to utilize their voice, not only to build on their own strengths and resiliency, but to collaborate together to address their needs and goals during this process.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I help clients achieve their goals one step at a time. I am a multicultural therapist and help clients of all backgrounds identify and overcome obstacles. When you come to Breaking Barriers Therapy Center you will feel welcomed and accepted no matter your creed, color, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. It is my hope that you will leave my therapy room empowered and see new possibilities in your life. I look forward to hearing from you!

Everyone deserves to tell their story and to be listened to with respect and dignity. My passion is to give people a safe space to tell their stories so they can start on their path of healing. I assist my clients with finding a different perspective about their story or problem so they can build better relationships, navigate the future, and heal completely as a person.

I have worked in the human services field for over 14 years. I have experience working in a community mental health clinic, providing assessment/psychiatric evaluation in the ER & ICU, providing group counseling to individuals with PTSD and DID, and providing counseling to adolescents, adults, and couples. My experience includes working in school settings with at-risk youth struggling with behavioral issues and mental health diagnoses. I specialize in providing care for those with sexual abuse histories, sexual assault, domestic violence, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, self harm and/or suicidal ideation.

Currently have a waitlist for both telehealth and in-person clients. Day to day life can be challenging! When you add symptoms of depression, anxiety or have experienced trauma or hardships this can make day to day life even more strenuous. Naturally we are not born knowing how to navigate stressful, traumatic, losses or a flood of various strong feelings alone. Attempting to navigate or short it out yourself can result into a vicious cycle. I view a therapeutic relationship as a collaboration, where together we process how your personal qualities, values, strengths can be an assistance to you.
