Compassionate Telehealth Counseling for Anxiety, Depression, and Couples Counseling Across Iowa

Decision-focused counseling for adults navigating relationship uncertainty, anxiety, or major life decisions.

I help adults and couples slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with clarity and intention, without pressure to decide too quickly.

My approach is influenced by both therapy and mediation training, allowing for a structured, neutral space to think clearly through complex decisions.

Therapy

I provide individual therapy and decision-focused relationship counseling for adults across Iowa, helping you gain clarity and move forward with intention.

Depression can impact mood, motivation, relationships, and daily functioning. I provide a supportive, thoughtful space to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, reconnect with yourself, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and steadiness.

Anxiety can show up in many ways—constant worry, physical tension, racing thoughts, or difficulty feeling at ease. I help adults slow things down, understand what’s driving the anxiety, and develop practical tools to feel more grounded, clear, and in control.

Support for individuals or couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about the future of their relationship.

This is a structured, short-term process designed to help you slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and gain clarity about your next steps—without pressure to stay or separate.
