With over 30 years of experience, I am dedicated to guiding clients on their journey to healing through a compassionate and accepting approach. As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in trauma therapy, utilizing EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to create a warm and safe environment where clients can explore their past, develop internal resources, and move toward a more fulfilling future.
I work with individuals of all ages, helping them process and heal from single-event, complex, and developmental trauma. My clients often face challenges such as depression, anxiety, depersonalization, sleep disorders, chronic pain, disordered eating, and substance abuse. Together, we focus on becoming safely embodied, cultivating self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies.
Trained in EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I bring a deep understanding of how the body stores and processes trauma. These techniques allow us to go beyond words, facilitating healing at a profound level. It is truly an honor to connect with each client's unique journey, helping them piece together their experiences and find freedom in their future. Licensed by the State of Iowa, I am here to support your path to recovery.
