I am a Clinician with a great deal of "life experience". So much of what we struggle with is nothing new. However, without sharing that pain we can stay stuck in the depression and anxiety of our thought. In the past I have worked with parents, families and in the school setting. I have also worked as a clinical therapist. Wherever I have ventured though, I have always seen the importance of "relationship" in therapy. I so look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Hello, I am a therapist in Des Moines working with with children, teenage girls, and women in my practice. I see many children for issues related to ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral issues. I enjoy working with teenage girls and helping to address ways to improve their self-esteem. I also enjoy helping women who struggle with social anxiety and provide help for depression that can be related to relationships, work, or parenting issues. I believe therapy is about finding a balance in your life and that it starts with recognizing who you are and being in relationships that support that.

Coming to therapy for the first time is often incredibly daunting, especially in the midst some kind of suffering, which generally brings people to therapy. I work to create a space that is open and accepting as well as interactive. Together, we can plan your journey and outline the steps and tools we can learn in session to help you outside of session.

If you are looking for a therapist with a blank, neutral face who gives an occasional "mhm" while you vent for 50 minutes, I'm not your guy. If you're looking for a guide who'll work alongside you, support you, but also be realistic and direct with you when needed, I think we would make a good team. My goal is to empower my clients to find the tools and strategies they already have within themselves, cutting through the noise and bringing those to the surface. I firmly believe in a mutually honest and direct therapeutic relationship. I will be direct with you throughout our session, and I ask you to be equally as direct with me.

I am passionate about helping people feel cared for. I see the therapeutic relationship as a powerful force for growth, healing, and hope; I believe a large part of therapy includes hospitality, so my goal is for clients to feel comfortable and seen. I love helping others find hope in God, but warmly welcome clients of varying faith backgrounds. God has given, and continues to give, me so much grace and I desire for others to experience that as well.
