Now Accepting New Clients! Life feels overwhelming—like flying through dense clouds without instruments, unsure of what’s ahead. You’re anxious, grieving, burned out, or feeling disconnected from the people who matter most. You’ve been holding it together, but deep down, you’re stuck in patterns that no longer work. You want relief, clarity, and connection—to feel like yourself again. Whether through traditional talk therapy or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, I help clients find steadiness, build insight, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and fully their own.

I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles with a practical, results-driven approach. We’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, build tools for change, and reconnect you to what matters. I offer in-person sessions in Iowa City, virtual therapy in IA, IL, MN, and MI, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Life gets heavy—but you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy is a place to feel understood, gain clarity, and find steady footing. Whether you’re facing loss, anxiety, or relationship stress, things can get better. You can feel more connected, more grounded, more like yourself again. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk that path with you.
