Currently accepting new clients in Iowa via Telehealth. I specialize in helping individuals and couples who seek to enhance, repair or save a relationship, prepare for marriage, discern the best path for a relationship in crisis, end a relationship (if decided), recover from a relationship that has ended, or grieve the passing of a partner or other loved one. If you and your partner would like to learn new relationship skills, please reach out for information about my next Gottman 7 Principles for Couples Workshop.

Accepting New Clients! I have over thirty years of experience helping clients navigate the many adjustments that come with transitioning to college, entering the workforce or making other major life changes. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with these stages of life and am dedicated to helping my clients develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive.

Do you or a loved one struggle with drinking or drug use? Are you living day-to-day with no real hope for the future? Have you turned to other unhealthy habits- food, gambling, toxic relationships? Have you tried therapy or treatment in the past and walked away feeling worse than when you started?

Children, adolescents, and adults who have faced challenging experiences in their lives or who are currently facing challenging experiences in their lives need and deserve to exist in spaces where they feel safe, can be heard and are accepted as they are. They often come to therapy because they believe they deserve to heal from their past experiences or cope with current experiences for themselves and those around them. Many of them also come to believe that they are inherently worthy of existing in a space that is safe and accepting of their authentic selves, which can be very freeing.

Welcome! I enjoy working with teens and adults who are feeling depressed, anxious and alone to decrease those feelings. I also work through a fat positive (HAES) lens and incorporate intuitive eating with clients that have struggled for years with body image issues, food restriction and bingeing so that they can finally find peace within themselves and with food. I utilize EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy so that any client can develop a connection with their body and stop repeating old patterns and thoughts that have kept them feeling stuck.
