In Person Therapists in Davenport, IA
Whether it is a single event or a life time of struggles, our thoughts and emotions can become so overwhelming that every day tasks are difficult to complete. For some, it is hard to reach out for help but once you have taken the first step which is acknowledging you need help and you cannot do it alone, the journey of emotional healing begins. It is learning to confront life's adversities rather than allowing them to define you. It is a journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, and learning to trust intuition while building inner strength to embrace and love who you are. As your therapist, I will walk that journey with you.

Hello! I've been a therapist for 28 years and have had many opportunities to witness courage and resiliency. Along with their struggles and concerns, clients bring many strengths including creativity, humor, kindness, forgiveness and compassion. Being a therapist has brought meaning and fulfillment to my life. I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm most experienced and interested in working with couples working to improve their relationships at any stage of life and with individuals concerned with anxiety, life transitions, or depression.

Okay, so all about me. I've had quite a range of experiences. In my past, I have worked in various industries including food, retail, production, labor, and computers before transitioning to mental health and helping others. Since then, I've gained experience in various environments, including providing services in in-home care, homeless outreach, harm reduction, and working with individuals in child welfare, community, and in-school mental health settings. While it wasn’t something I would have expected at my start, I've found a knack working with teens and young adults.

Parenting is so tough! Children face so many obstacles and sometimes we just don't know how to help them. It can feel like we've tried everything. When children are struggling they often act out behaviorally; or sometimes it shows up as stomach aches or problems sleeping. Allowing your child to come to therapy can give them the opportunity to learn more about themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. Working with a therapist can also provide you, as the parent, the support that you're looking for. We can all work together to help your child realize how amazing they really are and be more successful in their daily lives.

In 2016 I started working with parents with young children. Thus began a real passion of mine to support maternal and infant mental health outcomes. I thoroughly enjoy working with teenagers and parents of young children. In my sessions, I encourage and nourish a relaxing and lighthearted atmosphere that both welcomes all and encourages them to speak their truth. I’m a goofball a heart!

I have been helping others realize their mental health goals for over 23 years. I utilize a client-centered approach because I believe therapy should focus on each individual client's wants and needs, which vary from person to person. I often use humor in therapy, because I believe laughter is one of the greatest things you can share in this life. I have excellent experience with young children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have helped people with anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, substance abuse, relationship and life changes, impulse control, and many other topics.

I work with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder who are seeking additional skills to manage symptoms. I take an integrative approach primarily utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). EMDR utilizes the brain’s natural problem solving mechanisms to work through anxiety, depression, and traumatic events. Prior to processing negative or traumatic experiences, we will work on emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills.

An ideal client is one that understands that therapy is not just for affirming, but rather a challenging process to help correct negative thinking patterns and habits that cause distress in their lives. A client deserves support, care, and sometimes a person to just listen to, but therapy is not for individuals that want someone to be a "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" to everything they believe in. I firmly believe that those that seek therapy do so because something is not congruent in their life at this point, and need guidance to be able to see what is just outside of their vision. Blindly agreeing with someone does not achieve this.

Do your days feel too heavy? Does life feel unmanageable? Do you feel alone with your thoughts? Throughout of lives, beginning in childhood we are faced with challenges that shape who we are today. What events have shaped you? What thoughts do you need to say out loud to free your mind? It takes a lot of courage to talk to a stranger. I know this because I was a client prior to becoming a therapist. Its essential that therapists have sat on the other side of the couch. We all need therapy, we all deserve a safe space that is non-judgmental and confidential

Finding the right therapist is like finding a great pair of hiking boots. You know you want to go on a journey and your boots need to fit right, handle different terrain, and take you the distance. Sometimes you may even need to try on a few different pairs. As a practice owner and therapist, I think my skill lies in matching you with someone in my group or in the community who can take you the distance with the right combination or personality, style, and technical skill. While I am not currently taking new clients, please reach out, and let's have a conversation about who might be your ideal fit.

The journey to and through parenthood can be a wild ride. So much is changing within you, and maybe life is changing a lot around you, too. It can be hard to build confidence in yourself when you're struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, mom/dad guilt, or picking up the pieces after trauma and loss. There’s so much pressure to be perfect, and to do it all with little to no help. Maybe you compare yourself to others – they got pregnant right away, and I didn’t. They make this look so easy… why am I struggling so much? I just want to feel like myself again. Yep, I see you! It's possible to grow through this, not just go through it.

If you are ready to “tackle the tough stuff” in your life, I'll be here to help. I began my career in mental health working with families who were on the cusp of losing everything, including their children. Oftentimes, the members of these families could no longer find positives in their lives. They felt stuck and often did not believe things could change or get better. This soon became my “why” – to help those on the verge of losing all hope rediscover it. The moments I treasure most have been through the accomplishments — big and small — of those I've been honored to be able to serve. Each moment is amazing!
