ALL ABOUT THERAPY

This journey is uniquely yours

​

Therapy is an opportunity to build connections within yourself, your personal relationships, community, and faith.  My philosophy is that you are whole, possessing all of the tools that you need in order to build on, and explore, desired connections. My role as a therapist is to help connect you to your inner strengths, beliefs, and values to enhance your life experience and achieve your goals. 

​

I possess a Master's Degree from the University of Iowa with an educational focus in psychology, mental health counseling, and rehabilitation counseling.  I am honored to be an adjunct lecturer for the Rehabilitation Counselor and Eduction Program through the University of Iowa.  I am a fully licensed counselor and currently am working with individuals experiencing a variety of life stressors that include: management of life transtions, academic or vocational stressors, grief and loss, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have over ten years of experience within the human services field working within victim services (Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault), case management, vocational rehabilitation, and community mental health.  I have a understanding of various systems, processes, and have established strong professional relationships that foster collaboration and referral when needed.

In my practice I utilize various evidence based treatment modalities that can include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology and solution focused therapy. I am currently pursuing my certification as a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP).

I hope that I can support you with building and re-establishing meaningful connections in your life.

Covid-19 Thoughts:

I am taking new clients via telehealth at this time, and will move to office visits when it is determined it is safe to do so. While the term "social distancing" is being used regularly, I hope that everyone is exercising physical distance while maintaining social closeness and connectivity. If you are wanting and needing support to feel connected and supported during these challenging and uncertain times, please contact me for an appointment.
