Are you feeling stuck with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress that won’t seem to ease no matter how hard you try? You may be functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re carrying and find a steadier way forward.
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. With over 30 years of experience across outpatient therapy, residential treatment, medical social work, victim advocacy, and teaching, I offer an experienced, direct, and supportive approach.
I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and respectful. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, challenged when helpful, and supported as you build resilience and clarity. I am licensed in Iowa and Wisconsin. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out to see if we’re a good fit.
