Learning to navigate life's difficulties comes in waves and often creates a rippling effect in other areas of life. I enjoy working with clients on improving their ability to manage life storms, alleviate emotional pain and trauma, and create healthier and more hopeful approaches in their future. It can be intimidating to ask for help and make changes in life, making it is my goal to create a warm, comfortable, and approachable environment.
My specialties focus on women, teens, and young adults in the following areas: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transition, phobias, panic attacks, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, relationship/communication barriers, work/academic stress, disturbed sleep patterns, and trauma. I utilize various approaches such as Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and self-compassion focus, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma Informed Care.
My insurance acceptance and in-network options include: Wellmark/Blue Cross Blue Shield (in state/out-of-state, and Anthem), Aetna, Midlands Choice, Health Partners (non Unity Point), Molina, and cash rate ($190 initial visit-$165 ongoing).
In my free time I enjoy hiking, being in nature, playing and watching hockey (or any sport), cheering on Iowa Hawkeyes, and spending time with friends and family.
Feel free to contact directly with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, meeting, and supporting your waves in life!
