Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW from the University of Northern Iowa in 2018, where I specialized in trauma processing and trauma-informed care. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and work with depression, anxiety, anger management, and addiction, among other issues. I like to use an eclectic style in my treatment modalities, and I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy. I think people are the experts on their own experiences, so I enjoy working with individuals to tailor their mental health services to meet their needs.

Do you feel overwhelmed with bouts of depression or anxiety? I can help you. Together, we can unlock old patterns of thinking that may have left you feeling trapped or stuck through mindfulness based CBT which focuses on changing your relationship with negative emotions. Mindfulness allows one to become more cognitive of their immediate reaction to unsettling thoughts and emotions. In doing so, this allows one to employ skills to redefine that experience and promote self-love, compassion, and growth. I believe everyone is capable of finding joy, peace and fulfillment in their lives.

People are far more resilient, resourceful, and insightful than they realize, and my goal is to help clients recognize and harness these qualities. Many lack a supportive and challenging environment to explore their issues and develop practical skills for managing their well-being. I aim to provide a space that balances empathy with constructive challenges, empowering clients to trust their intuition and build resilience. Together, we work on self-awareness, coping strategies, and setting achievable goals, leading to a balanced and fulfilling life.

We have all experienced various levels of loss, harm or violation in our lives and this will have an effect on us.
