"Therapy is a process of personal growth and empowerment. Ultimately, therapy requires an individual, couple, or family to commit to making meaningful changes in their behavior and ways of thinking, both of which impact the way we feel. The work that goes into therapy requires great dedication-on the part of both the client and the therapist. It is the professional relationship that develops between them that forms the foundation of the change process."

I utilize a supportive and evidenced-based approach that provides clients with the skills, empowerment, and hope needed to make treatment successful and recovery possible.

If so, I am here to help. In a supportive environment, we will work together to build whole health and wellness for you and/or your child integrating both mind and body approaches.

"I am a Masters level therapist, licensed in the states of Iowa and Texas. The services I provide are for Individuals, Couples and Families. My overall goal is to reduce symptoms and enhance well being, develop more effective coping methods and elicit a positive response to life's challenges. The following are some of the issues I help people to address: * Depression * other mood disorders * Anxiety * Insomnia* Grief and Loss * Stage of Life issues * Job Satisfaction Issues"

"Life gives us experiences that are unexpected, often perplexing and sometimes overwhelming. With over 30 years of practice, I've worked with wonderful people facing just about everything life has to offer. Through this, I've developed a way of working with clients that is empowering, and most of all, effective. Relief comes when we begin to understand the emotions motivating us. The ability to identify and soothe difficult emotions is central to alleviating depression, anxiety, the echoes of trauma, or relational issues. "

"Wanting to get out of a stuck pattern? Tired of feeling lost? Do you feel a gap between what you want and what you end up doing; feeling held back from being what you could be in life as a spouse/partner, as a parent, in your job, or in your relationships? Overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, loneliness, frustration, anger, sadness, or grief? I work with adults and couples, helping to find new ways to respond to old problems & adjust to new issues. The focus is to create an atmosphere where clients can move out of their typical pattern (often fight or flight), foster their curiosity, try new tools, and develop solutions!"

"As a licensed marriage & family therapist, I understand the challenges of juggling family life, work life, relationships, and yourself. Most people find therapy to be a helpful resource to improve these different areas of life and understanding what is important to you is the most important place to start -- perhaps you're noticing feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety or desiring better communication and connection within your relationships, whether your spouse, family, or kids. I value creating a supportive environment for clients to explore, make meaning, and take steps towards reaching their goals."

"If you have ever asked yourself if you are living as well as you could then counseling may be for you. I find most people (including my clients) can get by just fine on their own. I am here to help them do more than "just get by." My goal is to help you live the life you want and enjoy it more fully. How to better manage anxiety, improve mood, improve coping skills, and better your interpersonal relationships are something I enjoy helping people with. I also address people's history of trauma and how that may be affecting their life and/or relationships."

"Most people who seek counseling do so because something in their life is just not quite right. Perhaps you have already identified what is off in your life - depression, anxiety, a negative relationship. Or perhaps you just know something is off. I work with each of my clients to get to the core of their struggles. Then I help my clients experiment with new solutions, new perspectives, and new ways of being. I believe therapy is a journey of exploration, understanding, and new choices and I enjoy helping my clients connect to the core strength they never knew they had."

"At one time or another, we might feel overwhelmed, stuck, unsatisfied with our lives and experience a prolonged sense of hopelessness, helplessness, sadness, and anxiousness which start to prevent us from functioning our daily tasks. We might experience some events in our personal, married or work lives that we may not know how to make sense of, with the resources that we have. We might also start to question the way we cope with our problems, for example, by drinking too much alcohol, abusing prescription medication, using illegal drugs or being aggressive, because they start to harm us or others around us. "

"When seeking therapy, sometimes the signs are obvious and other times they're not. My goal is to provide you with a safe, unbiased space where you can freely explore, process, and gain new perspectives without the fear of judgment or repercussions. I work with individuals and couples struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions - just to name a few. I also have a passion for working with students and assisting them with challenges and transitions to college and/or graduate school. "

"I place a large emphasis on understanding an individual's relationships and view the therapy relationship as the primary vehicle for change. I believe that through the therapy relationship individuals can work through difficult emotions, learn and practice more adaptive interpersonal skills, and increase self-knowledge in order to achieve positive change in their life."

"We all face difficult situations in our lives that can leave us feeling alone and overwhelmed. My goal is to help you find your true potential to lead a full and productive life. Together we can work to better understand and resolve the challenges that you face. By applying complimentary therapy approaches and techniques, we will identify negative perceptions or behavior patterns that may be keeping you from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

"In meeting with a client it is important to accept the person exactly where they are, in a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore their issues, find and nurture hope, and together work toward growth and equanimity. As a counselor, my job is to hear, accept and understand my client as a whole person and provide strategies to achieve their goals. Growth, healing and change can be challenging and may take hard work on the part of the client and the counselor. I am honored to be a part of that process with my clients."

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I engage in individual, couples, and family therapy as well as psychological assessment. I believe the range of experiences enables me to more fully understand the individual needs of each client I work with."

"I believe one of the biggest factors in creating growth and change begins with the therapeutic relationship. I strive to build a safe environment to give you the comfort and security you need to begin your path to healing. You'll find I use a client centered approach that begins with your needs first. My experience has led me to work with and meet a variety of mental health and addiction needs. I have provided behavioral health services to teens and adults in a residential treatment center and as an outpatient counselor."

"My belief is that everyone has the ability to change, heal & grow. Wellness comes from cultivating curiosity, seeing opportunities in challenges, practicing gratitude, & delighting in simple joys. I can help you begin to listen to the deep wisdom that resonates within & around you and to help you move past fear & discover your own power."
