It is a brave decision to ask for help. I recognize that seeking help can be difficult, that is why I strive to create a safe environment for my clients, by seeing clients in-person or virtually. I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked in both substance use residential settings as well as community mental health. I also have a passion for working with individuals with mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.
While working with clients I use person-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT interventions. I believe that everyone's therapeutic journey is special which is why I strive to be there to support my clients on this journey. I consider it an honor to work with my clients on healing and growth throughout the therapeutic process.
I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Iowa and with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University. As a licensed therapist my goal is to work with clients who have made the decision to help themselves on this therapeutic journey. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my cats and watching college football.
