I'm a licensed therapist in Iowa with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients across different backgrounds and belief systems, including those with Christian preferences as well as those who are non-religious.
My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I specialize in helping clients navigate communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, trauma recovery, life transitions like divorce, and attachment-related issues. I also have experience supporting caregivers, young adults, individuals exploring their identity, and those managing personality-related concerns.
I bring a compassionate, person-centered approach to therapy. I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively to build the skills and insights you need to move forward. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking support through a difficult season, I'm here to help you find clarity, connection, and resilience.
I'm honored by the trust clients place in me, and I'm committed to creating a safe, respectful space where you can be fully yourself.
