Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

A straightforward approach is necessary in order to promote lasting change. My goal as your therapist is to create a comfortable environment for you to identify and express your thoughts and feelings. I have worked in the mental health field for 15+ years, and with my knowledge and experience I will help guide you to the solutions you need in a direct and genuine way.

It’s hard to keep it together, right? Between work, kids, and relationships, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and under-resourced. Talking about it can be a good first step in marshaling your resources to overcome challenges that make it hard to stay focused on what matters. Whether it’s issues with a partner, stresses over parenting kids, stepkids, or grandkids, or simply feeling stuck in finding the next step in your story that brings you in, I’d be honored to hear it. I bring a lively, empathetic approach to sessions and focus on helping you find strategies to move forward while taking stock of where you've been.

I recognize that making the decision to come to therapy can be overwhelming and unfamiliar.
