About
You may be navigating a major life transition, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or finding yourself caught in cycles of anxious thoughts. Even in the midst of feeling overwhelmed, you may sense a desire for deeper insight—wanting to relate to yourself and your closest loved ones in new, more meaningful ways. You’re seeking a compassionate, collaborative space to explore what’s happening and to grow. I support clients through these challenging and often emotional experiences by offering a safe, nonjudgmental environment where your concerns are truly heard I approach our work together with curiosity, warmth, and care, helping you build greater self-understanding and acceptance. This process allows for deeper connection in your relationships and meaningful shifts in how you show up for yourself and others as you heal. Life has taught me that healing happens in relationship. Isolation, rejection, and shame often lie at the root of emotional suffering. We’ll work together to understand these patterns, gently shift perspective, and move forward with intention and self-compassion. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free consultation to take the first step. Specialties: I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and other relationship challenges. During sessions, we will talk about the issues impacting daily live and together create a plan to address these so you can feel better about life. As you are more and more informed about why you struggle, you will feel better. Credentials & Experience: I am a pre-licensed therapist, and am a certified pre-marital counselor through Prepare & Enrich. In addition, I recently completed a training to work with individuals who struggle with OCD. Lastly, I do Walk and Talk therapy out of our office in Des Moines.
"Depending on what's going on for you, I use therapy tools that work best for your situation. Some of these include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Attachment, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. I may also use Somatic Therapy to help you get more in tune with your nervous system. These models help me help you get access to youremotions and understand what's going on in your body."
