Outside of my work in mental health, I enjoy reading, tending to my garden, and watching baseball. I find peace in my craft space where I can try new things and have a creative outlet. I am a mom to four sons in a reconstituted family and enjoy watching them grow into adults who pave their own way. My three boxers, Ivy, Rossi, and Freddie, bring joy and (lots of!) energy into my life. I balance these things with relaxation in my hammock or snuggled up with a good book.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 2013 and in the field of social work since 2002. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with my Bachelor's of Social Work and St. Ambrose University with my Master's of Social Work. It is my goal to provide a safe environment to help you feel better. I use a combination of evidence based interventions that are tailored to your unique needs. My practice has roots from humanistic and integrative frameworks. I trained with Kase and Co. for Polyvagal EMDR and have specialized training in EMDR for postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal trauma and mental illness. I have certificates in ACT, DBT and CBT modalities.I am certified by Postpartum Support International in maternal mental health and wellness. I also specialize in neurodivergent issues impacting women such as procrastination and perfectionism. I have extensive experience in areas of trauma, boundaries, relational challenges and life transitions. I have some training in holistic treatment and eating disorders.Your emotions, thoughts and perspectives are valid and have a right to be seen and heard. It would be my honor to offer a safe space to explore them together. I will be your partner in this journey toward healing and wellness. I am confident that feeling better is possible.
