Therapists in Lenox, IA

I believe therapy is a way to enrich life in general, to enhance the enjoyable, and to understand and move through the painful. I think life is better in supportive company and that is why I am a therapist. I am fascinated with the multilayer complexity of life; in integrating the mind, body, heart, and spirit, as well as the richness of people and culture. I enjoy building connections with clients and exploring what brought them to therapy, how their history informs their present situation, and how needs and emotions are communicated. In essence, I’m thoughtful about how life is experienced, assimilated, digested and observed.

We all make our own way through life's journey and encounter hardships, and while these circumstances are temporary their impact influences us for a lifetime. If anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment/change or other struggles are interfering with your life, therapy may help you become more self-aware, to learn to love and accept yourself, enhance relationships, and improve your overall quality and functioning in life. I have a passion for helping people navigate life's struggles and assist them toward realizing their goals; I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to assist others on their journey of self-reflection.

When you make a decision to begin therapy for yourself or a loved one, you are making a decision to be brave.

Together, we will develop a path of treatment that leads you too feeling more balanced.

"I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower. Strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon, tough enough to weather the worst of summer storms, and able to grow and flourish even in the most broken places." -Nikita Gill The impact of trauma, anxiety, or depression in your life can lead you to feel isolated, stuck, or disempowered. As a licensed counselor, I believe that no one should have to manage those feelings on their own. Through developing a strong therapeutic alliance, I assist my clients with identifying their goals for themselves and walk alongside them on their journey towards growth and healing.

I believe that counseling can help strengthen and empower all individuals. I strive to provide a welcoming, open, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore concerns and experience true healing and growth.

Welcome! If you or someone you care about is struggling emotionally, I respect you for taking a step toward enhancing your mental health! Life can be hard and when we as adults, or our children, experience challenges we respond to them from our perspective and with the tools we have access to. Through therapy, you will unravel your thoughts, using talk, play, art, or other modes, while integrating new tools to grow. With experience in mental health, I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities with clients managing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, behavioral, and adjustment-related issues.

Felling isolated, depressed, anxious? Having relationship issues, no motivation and things aren't flowing the way they should? It is time to seek the help you need and deserve. Sometimes we get used to not living up to our potential. Sometimes we settle for a stale relationship or job, out of fear and low self-esteem. We get to a point of not recognizing emotional abuse and what is causing our symptoms. Our life becomes meaningless and we live on auto-pilot. It is time to fight, reach inside, re-awaken your strengths, and realize how worthy you are of a happy and emotionally healthy life.

Working with others and navigating through life's challenges together has been a strong calling and a personal passion for me.

I have spent years working in case management, non-profit agency work, school counseling, and athletics and have learned the importance of striving to connect, invest, advocate, and strategize with others to help them find hope and fulfillment.

Ideally, my clients are individuals who are looking for someone to support them on their path to healing and flourishing. Simply put, they want to feel better.

They want coping skills and techniques that will help them battle their symptoms. They also want someone who is ready to listen to them.
