From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others. While in my undergraduate studies, I found my calling when I discovered psychology, and I haven’t looked back since. I completed my undergraduate at the University of Iowa in 2006 and went on to my Masters in Mental Health, finishing in 2009. I worked as a Substance Abuse counselor and then as a private clinician in the Des Moines area until 2016. From 2016 to 2021, I worked for the Iowa Army National Guard as a behavioral health case manager, helping service members find and maintain relationships with service providers all across Iowa. It was through my work with the Guard that I found myself craving the fulfillment of seeing clients reach their full emotional potential. In 2020, during an extended Covid quarantine, I decided it was time to begin my own private practice. In November 2021, I was blessed to be able to shift all of my professional attention to my practice., 

As a mental health provider, I provide a comprehensive set of services to help boost your confidence and offer support as you confront your mental health challenges. I have experience working with a variety of issues, including Borderline Personality Disorder, Anger Management, and military trauma. I work with clients closely in order to build and achieve their goals, using an intuitive and comprehensive approach tailored to an individual's specific needs. I strive to create an environment of nurturing and healing as we navigate your life's journey together.

On a more personal note, I live with my husband and our amazing tiny human.. I thoroughly enjoy bingeing on Netflix and Hulu, making tasty treats with my son, and spending time with my extended family. I have a passion for photography and literature; two hobbies that allow me to feed my creativity and fill my emotional bucket.
