Integrative Therapists in Waukee, IA

Are you feeling stuck in your life, school, career, sports performance and/or relationships? Could your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health be better? If so, I am here to help. In a supportive environment, we will work together to build whole health and wellness while integrating both mind and body approaches. We all need support and guidance throughout our lives and I am passionate about supporting athletes, teachers, children, parents, and families in being the best they can be no matter what struggles may come their way. I do have immediate openings at this time.

Modern life is not easy. Everything has become more and more complicated: managing relationships, meeting your professional goals, balancing your time, and pursuing your interests. We all experience these demands, and each of us has a limit. When we reach our capacity, we often feel overwhelmed, angry, depressed, and even anxious. We loose joy, and even purpose; we concede to despair and are filled with worries. Even the strongest and most capable people among us need a little help sometimes to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Our private practice specializes in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, problematic substance use, pornography and sex addiction, relationship enhancement, or stress management. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, let us help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life.

Are you looking for a warm and supportive therapist who will also challenge and empower you? I believe you have many answers within you but I look forward to collaborating with you to facilitate growth.

I embrace feminist and anti-racist values and work with clients from all genders, sexual orientations, races, and backgrounds.

I work with adults and adolescents and have experience with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma. I am passionate about working with teens who have been affected by bullying. Addressing the lived effects bullying behavior can have on an individual is imperative in order to negate any residual trauma that results in feelings of depression and anxiety as a young adult. Having a safe space that encourages clients to be vulnerable is key and I hope to provide that for my clients.

Sometimes we need a little help to find the answers within ourselves. This is an environment for individuals that are open to self-exploration and are motivated to improve their well-being. Here, you're ready to develop improved coping skills and find relief from negative thought patterns and persistent feelings of distress. I work closely with individuals experiencing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I use 35+ years of DIRECT clinical experience to help in addressing issues that have become obstacles in your life and help you meet your goals in the context of an honest, caring, and direct professional relationship. Individuals, couples/relationships, addictions/substance abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, aging, sexuality, and sexual 'orientation' issues, as well as family matters are among the range of aspects of people's lives with which I effectively work. Counseling may be brief/problem-oriented, or extended/depth psychotherapy depending on your needs. I enjoy individuals, couples, and seniors. Psychotherapy is my calling!

Have you ever asked yourself, "why am I so unhappy"? Do you find that your relationships go sour way too soon? Do you have a history of trauma? Does your anxiety and depression prevent you from enjoying life? Do you want to improve your self-confidence, self-esteem and regain a sense of purpose and meaning in your life? If so, I believe I can help. With the right tools and resources you CAN learn to manage your emotional and behavioral reactions to life stress and triggers from the past.
