Having been raised in Ankeny, I am excited to serve clients at Nurturing Therapy Services in my hometown! Throughout our lives, many of us run into internal and external problems that cause us to experience thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations that leave us feeling stuck, confused, and unable to move forward. I utilize a range of techniques that help to identify and process these distressing thoughts, feelings, and sensations. My approach to therapy focuses on engaging clients in collaborative exercises that aim to address the root causes of common issues such as depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. I serve clients ages 12+ facing a number of different issues including depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, mental health disorders, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, and LGBTQ+ issues. I pull from a wide range of treatment modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and more. I believe that every person has the potential for healing, growth, and lasting change. Whatever your goals for therapy are, I am looking forward to the opportunity to support you through your personal journey!
