About me
Canadian Certified Counsellor #11245693 and Iowa Licensed Mental Health Counselor #080281. As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding the unique challenges of personal growth, with a particular focus on depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem development.
I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing workplace stress, communication difficulties, family challenges, and life transitions. My therapeutic style is deeply empathetic, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore personal struggles, work through guilt and shame, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I'm committed to helping clients build resilience, improve interpersonal relationships, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with codependency, separation, or family of origin issues, I also work with those considering divorce. I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with respect and understanding.
My practice welcomes individuals seeking a thoughtful, progressive approach to mental health that honors your personal journey and unique experiences.
