Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Iowa. I have 8 years of experience working with clients. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and supporting clients through life changes. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and existential theories. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.
One primary benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in whatever format feels most practical and comfortable, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy routine.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired, it is possible to switch therapists at any time.
