I believe each person, couple, and family has the full capacity to heal no matter the hurdles or the history. We all have a unique story and its my role to help move past shame, trauma, and conflict using a variety of techniques. I work with individuals and families with a focus on addressing the root cause of your distress with a collaborative approach. This may be through a combination of interventions. In today's growing popularity of accessing therapy it's easy to become complacent and dependent on a therapist and lose confidence in your ability to grow, heal, and recover. Therapy should recognize strengths and resilience.
I have over 25 years of experience working in the brain health field including the use of creative arts and drama. In addition to working with individuals I provide HHS and District court involved services. I am a trained Mediator, Co-parent Coordinator, Custody Evaluator, Gottman trained, EMDR, Estrangement & Reunification. Licensed in IA, MO, CO, MN, AR.
Life is challenging with may dynamics to juggle, I work to build a strong connection with clients through in person and virtual therapy. Virtual sessions may be an option once an intake and evaluation are complete. Estrangement, Co-Parenting, and Parent-Child Resist Refuse services require both caregivers participation and some require a focused evaluation.

Therapy is not a one size fits all approach to healing. Interventions should be individually based and challenge the thoughts and patterns that are barriers to healing. Bad therapy does exist, and there should be an end in sight and direction for healing. With reunification work, I require a collaborative relationship with professionals. I also participate in child inclusive mediation.
