About

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Iowa with over 15 years experience providing services to a wide range of clients. As a therapist, I have worked with clients on a variety of concerns including: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, end-of-life issues, geriatric/aging, fertility issues, mood disorders, and women's issues. I have also helped people who have experienced trauma and those facing chronic pain or chronic health conditions.

My therapeutic style is warm, welcoming, sensitive, and respectful. I provide a non-judgmental stance and work to decrease the stigma of accessing mental health services. My treatment approach includes: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. My treatment plan and approach will be tailored to fit your needs.

The first step towards seeking help can be difficult and it takes courage to seek change. I am here to provide support and compassion to help meet your needs. I look forward to working with you!
