My last name makes me sound way cooler than I actually am.

I completed my bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Northern Iowa and my master’s degree in social work at the University of Iowa. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I have over six years of experience practicing social work in residential, community, school and private practice settings.

As a compassionate clinical therapist, I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. I work hard to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I tailor my methods to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re facing challenges related to trauma, life transitions, or anxiety, I am here to listen, empower, and equip you with the tools to flourish. Let’s work together to unlock your potential to build a brighter future.

Outside of work, you can find me exploring new coffee shops in the metro, playing tennis with friends, and arguing with my husband and dogs :)

I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
