Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship that is cooperative, trusting and encouraging. I aim to create a safe, open environment for my clients to express their feelings and work through issues while feeling accepted and validated. I am an active therapist that offers suggestions, tools, action plans and homework based upon my client’s needs. I consider myself direct and straight forward but also steady and nurturing. I bring my authentic self to the therapeutic relationship which includes small doses of humor and sarcasm when appropriate! I am an EMDR Certified therapist and founding board member for Post Partum Support International, IA and served a three year term. I support the LGBTQ community by maintaining current in literature and participating in community events to continue growing my allyship. I also provide therapeutic support to parents of LGBTQ children through the life span. My office is a safe and nurturing space to process and grow. I strive to support my clients in being able to name and tame their deepest thoughts, feelings, memories and current challenges. My goal for everyone who enters my space is for them to feel open, free of judgement and hopeful for the future.
