A Bit About Me
In May of 2026 I graduated from the University of Iowa's Clinical Mental Health graduate program with a Masters in Counseling. Throughout my time as a student, I developed a passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma, and suffer from persistent mental health symptoms because of it. I understand that trauma can create an unstable and frightening reality for some, which is why I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood.
I believe that trust, connection, and collaboration within the therapeutic relationship are essential to the healing process. I believe those components can help give you the space to explore how your experiences have shaped you, and how I can help you create lasting, positive change within your life.
This is your journey and I intend to honor that.

Areas of Special Interest & Training
I specialize in working with teens and adults, focused on issues such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Sexual Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Complex Trauma, and Self-Esteem/Self-Worth difficulties. I utilize a variety of therapeutic frameworks when working with these populations, formulating specific treatment plans to fit the individual, their concerns, and their goals.
I have a particular interest in PTSD and exploring how such trauma can impact the brain and its functioning. I hope to become certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, as a way to increase the effectiveness of the trauma-informed therapy I deliver.
