As a licensed therapist serving clients in Iowa, I bring over two decades of compassionate counseling experience. My practice is deeply rooted in understanding the unique challenges individuals face across different life stages. I specialize in supporting adults and young adults navigating complex emotional landscapes, including communication difficulties, social anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship transitions.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Christian values and a conservative, empathetic framework. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through isolation, interpersonal challenges, and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with seasonal mood changes, family dynamics, or seeking guidance during significant life transitions like divorce or adoption, I offer a supportive and understanding environment.
I focus on creating personalized strategies that empower individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve communication skills, and cultivate emotional resilience. My goal is to walk alongside you as you explore healing, self-understanding, and positive change.
