Welcoming Enzo the Therapy Dog! I have a passion for helping people in all capacities and I love how the therapeutic process can help people get through some of the toughest moments in their lives. I believe my role as a therapist is to walk with you and support you in navigating through life in ways that align with your personal values. In therapy, we are on the journey together and I believe in providing a safe and holistic healing experience. I have experience working with teens, college students, adults, military/police, women experiencing infertility, LGBTQ+, & transgender and transitioning individuals.

You are welcome here. I work with ages 3 years old to late adulthood. I happily welcome the LGBTQA+ community. I use a warm, person-centered approach to provide you an open, safe space for sharing at your pace. I also integrate direct and exploratory therapy types to best fit your mental health goals and needs; although I do integrate both, I lean more on the exploratory therapy type side. I’m very receptive to your feedback, as I’m always learning and growing. My genuine purpose as a therapist is to provide you a collaborative experience and be your mutual advocate; so, you can be in the driver’s seat of your own life journey.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and graduated with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Iowa in May of 2021.

Clients I work with seek a better understanding of how stressful life experiences effect their mental, emotional and relationship health. These difficulties are often recognized as increased anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with daily tasks, sleep disruption, situational avoidance, crisis and trauma, relationship/intimacy stress, changes in eating, energy, and activity. Clients seek support to learn how to cope with identity, intimacy, connection and communication difficulties. Treatment goals are designed with a person centered, integrative focus to bridge mental and emotional health with lifestyle wellness.

Moving toward personal healing and growth can be hard! I acknowledge client's vulnerability and meet them with compassion and kindness. I am here to help clients navigate the uncomfortable, difficult, unwanted times in their life.

Hi there! I am a mental health counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, gender and sexuality, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

You feel alone and lost, using all your effort to not lose control. Trauma can hold you back and prevent you from living in the present, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

That’s the foundation of our work together. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, welcoming environment for you to foster growth and healing.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Iowa, and I work with adults (18 and up) in both individual and couples therapy. I have experience working with diverse clients on a wide-range of concerns, that include grief and loss, anxiety, depression, substance use, family-of-origin concerns, interpersonal functioning, trauma, identity-based concerns, and sex/intimacy concerns. I work best with individuals who are motivated and interested in change, and in engaging with deep exploration of their own behaviors and experiences.

I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy.

Do you feel defeated and alone? Are you seeking to heal the inner areas of self doubt, worry, fear, pain, and other places where hope is subsiding?

I am a clinician with over 12 years of experience providing person centered counseling and would like to help you discover how to find awareness and cope better.

My goal as a therapist is to create a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental environment so a client can feel safe being themselves. I believe it is through this safety that the work to heal, learn, grow, and understand ourselves can happen. In order to gain contentment in life, breaking free from the patterns that have kept life in discontentment is key. I view therapy as a partnership between therapist and client so working together is essential to making lasting changes.

Sometimes we are just at a loss. Life can be overwhelming and we all need validation that we have the strength to carry on. You might wish that you were more confident as a parent, in your relationships, career, or in yourself. Maybe you would like to regain your identity after having a child, be less worried about everything in life, or establish boundaries with others. Sometimes you just need someone to say “you’re not alone” and that “you can do this.” Our work is to embrace these challenges and fears, and to find the strength within to move forward.

As a therapist, I strive to view each client in a holistic manner and to ultimately create a non-judgmental space where clients of any background can feel comfortable and supported. My therapeutic philosophy relies heavily on the fact that humans do not exist in a vacuum; we are all a part of larger systems that impact our mental and physical health. I am passionate about working with individuals from marginalized communities which is why a holistic understanding of each client and non-judgement is so important to me. I make it my mission to remain non-judgmental and to understand all clients to the best of my ability.
