Currently Immediate Openings! I am ready to assist in the journey of defining what therapy looks like for you. With my training in psychology, social work and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), I partner with you to explore insights, skills, and encouragement to achieve success in your life. Therapy can look like so many different things and assist in the healing process in many different ways. I aim to ensure you experience the best possible healing through our therapeutic relationship. I love working with the topics of adoption, foster care, diversity, teens and young adults.
I offer virtual counseling sessions across Iowa, helping clients from rural areas to inner cities access care wherever they are. While I have openings to serve Iowans from all walks of life and backgrounds, I have a passion for adults and those from communities of color. I believe cultural representation is very important in the mental health space.
You’ve already taken a big step by looking for a potential therapist! The healing process awaits you if you are ready to take that next step. Please reach out today to get started, I look forward to hearing from you!
