Anxiety Therapists in Johnson County, IA

Life have you a little unbalanced? This is where you change your story. I will walk with you as you set goals and get back in control of your life. Together we’ll find the tools and supports you need to be successful. Most of us find it difficult to change. What is it that you’d like to have different in your life? Within a narrative framework, we can look at your story through your lifetime and you can gain hope and support for change, both in you and in your environment. I offer unconditional positive regard for the people that come to me. My goal is to help people feel safer in a world that doesn’t always feel safe.

Unresolved traumas can persist as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, physical pain or illness, and other distressing symptoms that wreak havoc on our daily lives.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so we will work together to create a plan that works for you. I combine traditional therapeutic approaches (cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy) with alternative approaches (brainspotting, pain reprocessing therapy, trauma-informed yoga).

I am interested in working a broad range of concerns including depression and anxiety, identity and self-esteem issues, emotional expression (EQ), relationship, marriage/family concerns, men's issues, sexual trauma, sexual addiction, academic skills, and career concerns.
As a generalist, I work from an integrative lens, naturally leaning towards a client-centered, strengths-based, and multicultural perspectives. Often, I like to integrate aspects of Interpersonal Therapy, Family Systems, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive-Behavioral theories with the Bio-Psycho-Social framework. With extensive college counseling center experience (20+ years), I enjoy working with this population and understands the difficulties that often emerge during this transitional process (identities, relationships, self-awareness, etc.). I believe no concern is too big or too small to seek support.

3) Individual Therapy for those dealing with relationship stress, anxiety, or life transitions.
Life is messy. Let’s not pretend otherwise. I have openings within a week. My ideal clients are individuals and couples feeling emotionally stuck—caught in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or uncertainty about the future. They may be thoughtful, high-functioning people who appear to have it together but are quietly overwhelmed. I also support individuals navigating breakups, relational trauma, or identity loss in the context of relationships. They don’t need to have all the answers—just the courage to explore what’s next.
