I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, working in Iowa since 2014. I specialize in individual and relationship issues, behavioral issues, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma experiences, and childhood transitions. I have worked in a crisis program for the last 3 years. In my practice, I have worked with a wide range of mental health concerns, such as life transitions, parenting, anxiety, depression, and many others. I have specialized training in crisis and sexuality, as well as trauma and abuse. I have worked with LGBTQ+ people and grief. Please see the complete list under Additional Specialties. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort to help you make positive changes that will enhance your life. If you are ready to begin working to empower yourself, I am here to help. I am non-judgmental and will be compassionate while we work together to develop skills to move you forward on your journey. I look forward to working with you!
