I am an LISW in Iowa. My passion is working with individuals with trauma. I only use evidenced-based therapies (primarily EMDR with trauma.) I have experience working with anxiety, depression, feelings of not being good enough, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. I have been told that I am easy to talk to. I look forward to meeting you!
