In Person Therapists in Sioux City, IA

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light- Albus Dumbledore. I believe a small amount of hope helps a person get through most obstacles in life. Hope, to me, is the little bit of light in the darkness. My ultimate goal is to help my clients find their light. The common thread throughout my career as a therapist has been the treatment of trauma, adverse experiences, and toxic stress. Regardless of where a client is on their journey towards healing, I help them continue to take the steps to move forward.

As a therapist, it is my goal to bring genuineness, acceptance, and empathy to the counseling environment. I am here to meet you exactly where you are in life, without judgment or shame. The work of the client can be challenging, and often begins with the daunting task of coming in the doors on that first day. Change is uncomfortable, and often avoided. I am here to facilitate that change, walk alongside you, and provide new insight and understanding.

Helping others in their time of need is something I am deeply passionate about. I work with individuals and couples addressing a wide range of issues. While I incorporate various therapeutic modalities, my number one priority is the therapeutic relationship. Building a strong, supportive connection with my clients is essential for effective and meaningful therapy. With me, you can expect to explore unconscious influences, gain insight into your past experiences, cultivate present-moment awareness, and foster self-compassion.

My approach to working with clients is one that is solution-focused. We all need help from time to time in our lives. I work with clients to identify their strengths in order to assist them in working through their limitations. Together, through collaboration, I work with clients to identify solutions for some of life's most overwhelming problems. I work with clients to develop an individualized treatment plan to ensure that their specific needs are being addressed in the counseling setting.

We will work best together if you are motivated to change. With us both working hard for your benefit, you will achieve rapid results. The method of therapy that works best for this approach is one of my areas of specialization, and it is called Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Whether you are hoping to recover from past trauma or abuse, whether you are working to overcome your depression or anxiety, to increase your self-esteem or confidence, you can do it, and we will develop a plan tailored to you. Alternatively, if you are seeking guidance or support involving a relationship, I'm happy to work with couples or families.

My approach is rooted in a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. CBT helps you identify and reframe negative thought patterns that may be impacting your mood and behavior.

I also incorporate Mindfulness techniques to help you stay present, manage stress, and cultivate a sense of peace in your daily life. My approach is designed to support both your emotional growth and mental well-being.

I have expanded my practice to create more opportunities to work with me and my team, both in person and through telehealth options.
I love helping people heal and to be a part of that process with them. We are either healing or healed, lets get through this together. I offer a range of modalities such as EMDR and art therapy, which get the whole brain on board and are both evidence based practices. Connecting with your therapist is one thing and effective interventions is another. I like working with individuals, couples, and families to develop this relationship and address the concerns they present with. Treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and general life stressors are what I do best.

Whether online or in person, my sessions use a person and/or family centered approach that uses the mind's natural ability to heal.
Happy to offer online therapy and remote EMDR. My work is evidence-based, unique, and creative. It is grounded in behavioral change, mindfulness, and traditional talk therapy, which has been shown to effectively reduce trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, childhood behavioral disorders, and grief. Through the therapy process adults, families, and children can find a safe place to develop the skills they need to heal, to grow, and to thrive. My goal is to make each session unique to the needs of each person so they can build upon what already makes them happy.

Life can be hard, it can be messy. We don't always know how to manage everything on our own, especially the emotional and mental stuff. When mental health issues or addiction issues are added to it things seem even harder. "...What might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey" Lemony Snicket. Having a counselor who will listen to you, help you figure out ways to cope, and walk with you through the journey of healing can make things more manageable. I enjoy working with individuals ages 12 through adult, couples, families, and groups.
