Couples Counseling Therapists in Iowa

I usually can get new clients in within 1-2 weeks and have evening appointments available. I see individual adults, couples and families. I have been doing therapy since 1998 and am passionate about helping those I serve resolve conflict. Sometimes new clients tell me they don't really know how therapy works which is ok as I can guide you through the process. I specialize in helping those with depression, anxiety, family conflict, blended families, contemplating divorce and recovering from divorce, couples issues, conflicted relational concerns, career changes, anger management, trauma, sexual abuse, and stress.

I believe that counseling is a process whereby a client voluntarily seeks to resolve interpersonal, emotional, and/or spiritual difficulties with the assistance of another caring individual. I will seek to empower you to make changes for the betterment of your life through a wellness model. I will do my best to offer you the highest ethical standards of care, to listen empathically to you, to persist in hope, to believe in your restoration, and to avoid all forms of judgement. My goal is for you to develop fresh perspectives, to bolster your self confidence in your existing capabilities, and to form a feasible plan of action.

As your counselor, it's my goal to ensure that you have a safe space to bring any feelings and challenges that you might be experiencing. I strongly believe that the therapeutic experience is different for each client, and that your experiences and stories are unique to you. You're the expert in your own life. In therapy, I like to use a person centered approach, meaning I want to meet you where you are at, and allow you to have a an active role in your treatment. Once we have developed a relationship and established goals, we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you.

Did you know that most people will seek an outside perspective for support at some point in their lives?

I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad and that is being alone and being sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone. -Ted Lasso. We are born with all the emotions, but no idea how to manage those emotions. We learn ways to deal with them through life experiences; some helpful ways, some hurtful ways. With every new life experience comes bigger, more complex emotions; pretty soon we feel anxious, overwhelmed, or out of control. Then what the heck do we do? Through our therapeutic relationship, we can work to explore and integrate emotions, and help you to live the life you want to live.
