Therapists Beginning With F in Iowa
Whether it's depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or tackling a new chapter of life, I love working with clients who are ready to understand themselves better, and looking for support in their growth. I believe every person has their own unique set of patterns for tackling life and emotions, and problems often arise when these patterns are no longer serving us well. It can be difficult and frustrating to seek a better life if we do not first understand what has brought us to our current struggle or what still stands in our way. I'm here to be a listener, companion, and problem-solver while you're on that journey.

I believe that creating a safe environment for my client and developing a caring relationship is critical to successful therapy. I work adults who have experienced abuse and trauma to expand internal resources, heal from past experiences, and explore new directions. I work with an emphasis on using Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with individuals on problems related to relationship issues, family communication, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, and other life transitions.

Throughout my past professional experiences working with victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and other types of violent traumas, I walked alongside clients as they lived through some of the most difficult chapters in their stories. Being trusted with someone's story is an honor and a privilege, and should never be taken lightly. When a client walks into my office, my goal is to ensure that they feel safe, supported, valued, and empowered. There are numerous systems that people interact with that can have major impacts on their lives.

I use a strengths-based approach helping you develop the skills you already have. Typically, clients already know the things that are causing their problems, they just need a new perspective and new approaches to use their own strengths to turn things around for the better. I can help you improve your mental health and navigate life's challenges and changes and to improve overall well-being and self-confidence.

Is your child struggling to cope with strong emotions? Is this causing stress for your family? Is your child or family, coping with trauma and other social, emotional, and behavioral issues?

Your child will receive empathy and compassion during sessions, but may also be challenged. I work with clients experiencing traumatic events (abuse/neglect, car accident), depression and anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, school difficulties/bullying, life transitions (moving, divorce).

Do you feel trapped by your own mind, with intrusive thoughts, constant distractions, or relentless worry? Maybe it’s hard to focus, relax, or find joy in the things you used to love. You might be dealing with obsessive-compulsive behaviors, the whirlwind of ADHD, or the heavy blanket of anxiety. What you really want is peace and clarity, a way to manage your thoughts and emotions without feeling overwhelmed. You long for a fulfilling life where these challenges don’t define you.
