I have enjoyed working with all ages throughout my professional career as a licensed mental health counselor. I’ve taught parenting classes, taught and counseled Cole students, anger management classes, done mediation services for divorcing parents as well as focusing on trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD. what’s most important is that I meet the client where he needs help, offering skill building, compassion, empathy.
I have eleven years of experience with Youth and Shelter Services, Ames and ten years of solo practice. In addition, I have five years associated with an Ames psychiatrist, five years part time in my Ames, IA home. I welcome individuals and families to improve their lives .
The privacy of my home, observing nature as we discuss your issues, is a plus .Bus service is close by, our address is easy to find. I welcome BC/BS clients; cash payment can be determined.
