I am a licensed counselor in Iowa with 8 years of counseling experience. I specialize in anxiety-related disorders and also work with clients to address other concerns including, but not limited to depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues. While working with me you can anticipate an accepting, open, and non-judgmental relationship that holds the heaviness of life's challenges and encourages change. I am a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Provider (CCATP). My approach is fairly active; feeling better takes work and I typically provide opportunities to engage with the counseling process in a tangible way.
