My approach to mental health counseling is relational. I believe relationships in which a person can experience emotional attunement and experience authentic connection are vital to being a happy human. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral, attachment-based, interpersonal, and dialectical approaches.
I have worked in various human services positions for over 20 years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa and National Certified Counselor. I have been a therapist for 8 years. Currently, I am a member of the American Mental Health Counseling Association (AMHCA).
My personal interests include reading, music, crocheting, sewing poorly, bike riding, gardening in hopes a few plants will survive, and spending time with my family and friends. Earl is our "shop dog" and occasionally accompanies me to work. Everyone at the office enjoys his loving and calming nature. (He can join telehealth too). As you can see, he makes himself at home. He's not big on being called a "dog" but he's a good listener. People tell me they enjoy his kind greeting as they come in the door.
