I support individuals whose minds move quickly and emotions run deep. Many of my clients are driven and self-aware, yet feel exhausted from carrying so much on their own. They are often the people others depend on—the helpers, caretakers, and people-pleasers who struggle to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to quiet self-criticism, strengthen self-trust, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been overlooked while caring for everyone else. Our work together is collaborative and grounded in authenticity, aiming to create a life that feels balanced and aligned.

Hi there! I am currently able to practice in the state of IA and WI I have openings on Wednesdays at this time. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and genuine space to be fully yourself. A special passion of mine is supporting college students, young adults and neurodivergent/ADHD clients. I empathize how stressful it can be to juggle classes, relationships, expectations, and the pressure to “figure it all out.”

I originally trained in Developmental Psychology, and I use a lifespan perspective to understand how prior learning influenced a person to become "stuck" or thwarted in their growth and development. For me, labels mean less than the lived experience of the individual. I use humor to keep meetings joyful, and make sure sessions end on a positive note. If therapy is all pain, who would want to go back for more? I believe that everything makes sense, and we can build an understanding together. Then we can focus on how to use existing strengths and new learning to promote a life of thriving and continued growing.

As a seasoned therapist and social worker I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, women’s health concerns, and the many transitions that come with life and aging. Drawing on my own lived experience with ADHD and anxiety, I help people understand and harness their own neurodivergent strengths so they can move through the world with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I also have expertise in caregiver burnout and extensive experience working with parents of children with medical complexity/special needs, as well as those caring for aging parents.

You've been holding it together for so long, you forgot what "okay" feels like. You're someone others rely on. You keep going, show up for everyone else & push through even when things feel hard. Lately, you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and caught in cycles of overthinking. Maybe anxiety, perfectionism, or life's transitions have left you feeling exhausted and unsure of how to move forward. You're tired of carrying it alone and wondering if life is always going to feel this way. You're ready to understand yourself with more compassion, feel more grounded, and create a life that feels more like your own.

You’ve carried a lot on your shoulders. Maybe you’ve been the strong one for everyone else, or maybe you’ve been quietly pushing through pain that no one sees.

I work with individuals and couples to better understand their inner experiences, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that every person has an innate capacity for healing. Using IFS, we explore the different “parts” of you—like the one that feels
anxious, overwhelmed, angry, depressed or stuck—in a way that is non-judgmental and at your own pace. Together we aim to create space for painful experiences to be approached and understood safely. Over time, clients often feel more connected to themselves, and more peaceful in their emotional worlds.

I have worked in the front lines of the overdose crisis as a therapist for over 20 years. I have led clinics, founded non-profits, started peer networks, done advocacy and policy work; but always the most meaningful work I've done is working with clients. Being able to walk with someone on their healing journey and see their capacity for change is such an honor.
