Therapist Overview
After undergrad I moved to North Carolina where I received my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling. I was licensed in NC for two years prior to making the decision to move back to Iowa. I work with all ages, but primarily focus on ages 10 years or older, and I am comfortable with working with most diagnoses. I am a CBT therapist that will also at times use a Solution-Focused and DBT approach. I remind clients who are searching for a therapist, “Therapist are like shoes. We do not fit you all. You need to make sure you find your right fit”. My personal belief about therapy is that the most genuine form of therapy is when clients are in an environment that allows them to feel like they can be authentically themselves. I strive to draw from all aspects of a person’s life and personality to aid in them resolving their problems. The reason I was drawn to therapy can be summed up by a quote from J.K. Rowling in the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”-Albus Dumbledore
