- LISW, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Iowa and Wisconsin and have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variation of concerns including life transitions, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, physical trauma and emotional abuse. I have also supported many people who have encountered work stress and high conflict with others.
I believe in self-determination and view therapy as a partnership to achieve your desired goals. My approach is centered around solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and humanistic therapy. A collaborative approach while creating a treatment plan individual to your wants and needs will be a key start in fulfilling your desired objectives.
It is never too late to seek a healthier, happier you. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to support you on your journey to thrive.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
