I'm a licensed therapist in Iowa with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. My work focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I'm skilled in supporting people through major life transitions, communication struggles, grief from divorce and separation, and the complexities of attachment and family dynamics.
I work with clients across the lifespan, including young adults, older adults, and those managing neurodivergence such as autism. I'm experienced in addressing trauma, social anxiety, isolation, caregiver stress, and personality-related concerns. I also support individuals working through adoption and foster care experiences, as well as those navigating self-harm and feelings of emptiness.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring our work to your unique needs and values. Whether you're seeking support from a faith-based perspective or prefer a secular approach, I'm committed to honoring what matters most to you.
I'm genuinely glad you're taking this step toward healing and growth. I look forward to walking alongside you.
