Women's Issues Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

Thinking about starting therapy is sometimes a scary step if you haven’t ever been in therapeutic relationship before. If you are thinking about starting therapy I encourage you to give it a try. In trauma focused therapy you decide where you want to go and on your timeline. Lets work together so that you can participate in activities that you want to take part in and enjoy them. I believe that you already have many skills to make positive changes in your life. We can work together in a client focused setting to identify your strengths and help you build on your strengths to make changes that will improve your quality of life.

When it seems that there is an overabundance of books, blogs and information it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin when you are experiencing challenges.

Hi there and congratulations on taking the sometimes daunting step towards finding a therapist. I don't know you, but I know that takes courage. My style as a therapist can be described as collaborative, curious, responsive, warm, and above all else, human. Although we are all experiencing this wild ride called life, I know that no two stories or individuals are the same. I am genuinely curious about my clients and what makes them who they are, which leads way to individualized care and true understanding.

My goal is not only finding the safe, confidential space within therapy but also the ability for each individual to walk away with a greater sense of connection and understanding of themselves. With this increased acceptance of self you are able to focus on your present and future goals, relationships with others and manage emotions in a healthier manner. This road can be difficult at times, but taking the first step with starting therapy can help you achieve what you envision for your life.

Now accepting new clients - Therapy can be overwhelming and it is important to me to create a place where you can feel safe to be vulnerable. I provide a calm and laid-back environment to offer an inviting atmosphere for you to discuss your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. This is especially important to me because I know that growth happens outside of our comfort zone. We aren’t always aware of what we can achieve, and I enjoy assisting others in opening their eyes to their full potential. I have a strong belief that being willing to explore the challenging pieces of ourselves will allow us to grow.

**Currently Accepting New Clients** Mental health is important now more than ever as increased solitude and stress can only heighten symptoms that are already plaguing individuals, couples, and families. It is increasingly important to take the steps necessary to maintain that health through seeking a trusting and empathetic source of support and connection.

The simple truth is you have to feel safe with me to get anywhere in therapy. We will be a great fit if you are looking for safety, growth, esteem in SELF, and healing. Bring your honesty and plan on an integration of what you learn in session into life.

I believe that every person coming through my door is the expert of their own life; you have the tools you need, you just need help uncovering them! I want to work collaboratively with you to understand what has gotten you to this point and help you gain clarity about your strengths and struggles in order to find a different way to understand, cope, or change what is holding you back.

The decision to reach out to someone for counseling isn't an easy one. This is the first step to feeling better and I applaud you for it. The road ahead will be filled with obstacles, self discovery, some bumps, and growth. It is worth it! And I am honored to be considered as a companion for that journey.

I welcome anyone that feels they need help. Everyone could benefit from someone to talk with and feel supported with.

Everyone deserves to lead a life of fulfillment. Each one of us has the capacity to experience genuine happiness, but oftentimes the pressure from relationships, school, social media, career, and daily responsibilities obstruct our sense of peace.

I strive to provide a warm & nonjudgmental space where you are safe and comfortable to share your unique story.

Each of us can identify some aspect of our lives that we'd like to change. As your therapist, my intention is to help you learn about the therapeutic process and how it can help you identify the changes you'd like to make; collaborate with you in setting realistic, achievable goals for yourself; teach you to incorporate coping skills to ease through transitions; and fully support you while we walk this journey together. Above all else, your comfort is my priority, and I offer you compassion and understanding without judgment.

Sometimes, as we go through difficult times, we can each benefit from having someone to walk alongside… to encourage us, to help us navigate barriers and challenges, and to avoid pitfalls. This is my goal as therapist: to walk alongside my clients as they work through challenges, to offer support and guidance, and to help clients find the solutions which lie within themselves. I believe that those who have experienced difficulty can take what they’ve learned, come alongside others walking through difficult challenges, and help them find hope and maybe even joy in the midst of their circumstances.
