Individual Teletherapy
For Iowa Residents
If you’re feeling stuck, unsteady 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.
It’s not about starting over—it’s about reclaiming what’s always been within you.
My methods
As a person-centered therapist, my approach is warm, flexible, and entirely focused on your goals. I use trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness-based approaches such as Mindful Hypnotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, and parts-based approaches that explore how symptoms make sense in the context of past experiences, allowing old emotional learning to update and resolve.
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.
