Introduction

Are you looking to heal from the past and build a resilient future? I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Iowa (Minnesota licensure pending), offering strengths-based, holistic therapy for individuals, couples, and families ages 9–99. After spending 32 wonderful years as a teacher, I transitioned into mental health to guide people through deep, transformative healing. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level I & II), I specialize in helping clients process distress effectively using advanced, specialized modalities like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). My practice is entirely integrative, pulling from IFS, TIST, Somatic Therapy, Gestalt, and CBT to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I believe you already hold the tools for your recovery; my job is to help you leverage your existing strengths to face life's challenges. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband, our three adult sons, their amazing wives, and our six grandchildren. I am also a proud pet parent to two cats and a Goldendoodle therapy dog who assists me in spreading joy and comfort to those who need it most.
