Individual Teletherapy
For Iowa Residents
If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but you’re ready to move forward and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are, I’m here to support you.
You don't need to go through this alone.
My methods
As a person-centered therapist, my approach is warm, flexible, and entirely focused on your goals. I use a range of proven methods, including Trauma-informed, Mindfulness-Based Interventions like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindful Hypnotherapy, along with Solution-Focused Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Proven methods that work by cultivating awareness, presence and self compassion so you can find balance, clarity, and a deeper sense of well-being.
Mindful Hypnotherapy
This approach helps you access a calm, focused state where positive change can take root. Deepen self-awareness, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and reclaim your strength.
Trauma Informed
A safe, compassionate space for healing. With a deep understanding of how trauma impacts the mind and body.
Motivational Interviewing
A research backed way of talking about change and growth to strengthen your own motivation and commitment. Together, we’ll explore the strengths and possibilities already within you.
With over 25 years of experience in social work and more than a decade as a licensed therapist, I bring a depth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa and my master’s from the University of Northern Iowa.
My training includes a year-long intensive in the VA Clinical Mindfulness protocol (VA CALM) and advanced studies in clinical hypnosis. I continually engage in training related to recovery from adverse religious experiences, controlling relationships, and burnout.
In addition to working with clients, I have spent the past seven years training and coaching clinicians in clinical communication and Motivational Interviewing skills.
Most importantly, every person I have worked with has taught me more than any education ever could. I am continually humbled and honored to be part of their journey.
