Queer. Neurodivergent. Deep feelers. Identity-Questioners. I offer a space that is judgement-free. Life’s challenges—whether it’s depression, anxiety, identity, or navigating neurodivergence—can leave you feeling lost. I’m here to help you process these thoughts and emotions to find clarity, healing, and a path forward that feels right for you. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your challenges to create meaningful and lasting change.
I specialize in supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and develop a personalized approach with tools and strategies that work for you.
As a therapist in my hometown of Ankeny, I bring kindness, empathy, and understanding to each session, creating a space where you feel truly heard and supported. Ready to take the first step? Let's connect - send me an email today.
