Having someone to talk to can be extremely beneficial, and I hope to be that person for you! My therapeutic relationship is built upon trust, respect, and compassion.
Seeing clients across Iowa via Telehealth! I have a tremendous understanding of the social, emotional, psychological, and societal impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences, and am aware of the importance of identifying and addressing toxic stress in both children and adults. I am also well-versed on the numerous symptoms of trauma. I understand how these symptoms can perpetuate other secondary effects such as addiction, eating disorders, difficulties with learning and processing information, and building and sustaining relationships.

My approach to therapy has a lot to do with who my client is and what their needs are; I am honored that I get to (metaphorically) walk through the mud with you to reach a healthier & happier place.
