As you navigate various therapist profiles, it's natural to notice that they all start to sound the same. But you're here for a reason, seeking something more. Maybe you've identified your struggles but haven't found a way to overcome them alone. Counseling can help you confront the challenges that often leave you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. With the right support, you can discover a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment, offering hope in your life. My goal is to help you create a rich, meaningful life that aligns with your values. It’s time to break free from the grips of anxiety, self-doubt, and sadness and cultivate joy, confidence, and resilience. Together, we’ll explore how to foster healthier relationships and nurture connections that bring fulfillment and support. If you are ready for a journey of self-discovery and growth, I would love to support you in creating a fulfilling life. Therapy is a deeply personal journey; finding the right therapist is the crucial first step. I understand the challenges of this search, and I'm here to assist. I firmly believe in the transformative power of a therapeutic relationship, where you feel listened to, understood, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in your life. I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss your unique needs and goals, ensuring I'm the right therapist for you. With over 25 years of counseling in both clinical and educational settings, I bring practical knowledge and lived experience to our sessions. But I'm not just a therapist; I'm also a wife, a mother, and a 'grammy.' This unique blend of roles allows me to approach therapy with a multifaceted understanding of life, which can significantly benefit our work together. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa.
