Hey there! Life can leave us with thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are sometimes difficult to navigate on our own. Everyone deserves a safe space to honestly share their burdens and celebrate their successes! I believe change is inevitable when we show up authentically and strive to gain insight into what is working well and what might not be work so well. When old patterns that no longer serve us, are uncovered, new ways of thinking and being will reflect a life that is true to you!

I am currently accepting new clients. Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of joy or distress in our lives. All couples go through challenges. However, maybe you feel the conflict with your partner has reached a point that it's affecting your mental health, your parenting and even your desire to stay together. Whether you want to repair your relationship or you are seriously considering leaving it, I can help you navigate that process and figure out what is best for you.

I typically work with children, teens and adults. Many of whom have been involved with the Department of Human Services. I often help clients deal with the complexities of navigating through the (often) confusing world of the Department of Human Services. I also work with children in the school system (often times in the school environment).

Are you struggling with your self esteem? Do you doubt yourself? Do you feel anxious, trapped and "get in your head" a lot? Do you often feel sad or "blah." These feelings can seem overwhelming.

Sometimes life is hard. It is not uncommon to feel as if you are going through these difficult times on your own. I am here to tell you that you are not alone. My purpose is to be a compassionate, nonjudgmental listener in addition to teaching you necessary coping skills. I will use a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques with a primary focus on mindfulness. My goal is not to fix you; it is to be a partner in your own healing.

Families, couples and individuals impacted by trauma can find it difficulty to get the help they need. Trauma can impact a families basic ability to communicate and get along, fuel a couples difficulty to feel safe and heard by one another and erode an individuals ability to self regulate. It is common to feel stuck and more often than not, unacknowledged or unresolved trauma is the culprit. If you suspect there is trauma at play, holding you and your loved one back from real progress and change, real long lasting change is here.

As a play therapist, I believe in using the power of play, which is a child's most natural form of communication, to connect with clients and help children resolve their challenges in a safe, nurturing environment.

I was awarded the 2018 Play Therapist of the Year by the Iowa Association for Play Therapy. I have received extensive training under the direct instruction of Dr. Terry Kottman, the creator of Adlerian Play Therapy.

Telehealth Spot Available! Taking the first step towards change, healing & growth can be difficult. I am a laid back therapist who loves seeing clients get to their best selves in a non-judgmental, unbiased space. I pride myself on being down to earth, positive, and relatable. You won't find a traditional atmosphere in my office, which I believe is one of my strengths. I provide individual therapy for clients aged 18 years and older.

Usually when someone asks me why they should go to therapy, I ask them if they think they could benefit from having a non-judgmental third party whose only motive in therapy is to help them get what they want in life. Having someone who can help identify the obstacles and then walk beside you to find healing and the solutions to the presenting struggles can be life changing. I want to be that person for you.

To be for you at times a guide, to be someone you can feel safe with, to feel safe enough to feel and heal, to be someone to challenge you to grow and find the light that is always shining within you.

I support clients in creating their most fulfilling lives, in line with their values and goals.
