Therapists in North Liberty, IA

(Accepting new clients). Relationship problems, trauma, depression, fear . . . I understand how difficult it is to ask for help. You feel that others don’t understand your problems but your problems have just gotten too bad to tolerate and they’re so big or painful you don’t know what to do. Whatever you are going through, you don’t have to deal with it alone. I am here to listen and guide you on a new path. I believe that the body and spirit are important components of healing and can’t/shouldn’t be ignored. I use an integrative approach that includes mind, body, and spirit.

Daniel J Siegel wrote, “We are always in a perpetual state of being created and creating ourselves.” I believe deeply in the power of stories. If we listen closely to the stories we tell, we can hear our fears, our pains, our hopes, our dreams. I studied and taught personal narrative writing for a long time before I became a therapist, and learned a lot about the process of making meaning through story. As a therapist, I’ve learned a lot about the way relationships and the systems we’re part of can impact our stories, and our brains, the foundations of who we are.

ATTENTION THOSE FEELING STUCK AND LOOKING FOR FREEDOM: Are you living day-to-day with no real hope for the future? Do you feel like you are missing something in life- one puzzle piece that will make everything else fit?

Have you tried therapy or treatment in the past and walked away feeling worse than when you started?

I help people who feel overwhelmed, uncertain about how to deal with life, and are just stuck. If you’re like most people who come to see me, you’re probably not even sure why you’re feeling so bad and what you’ve tried to fix it isn’t working. On top of all of this, there isn’t anyone to turn to for help. You don’t have to struggle through this on your own. As a psychologist for over 15 years, I've learned why most people struggle, what stops them from getting better, and what they can do to fix it right away. I’ve helped hundreds of clients overcome these problems.
