Serving Young Adults + Adults
Des Moines
In-Person + Virtual
I approach therapy as a collaborative process of understanding the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape how a person moves through the world. My work is mainly psychodynamic and relational, which means we may look beyond immediate concerns to better understand the deeper patterns and past experiences that continue to affect your life.
My style is thoughtful, direct, and engaged. I listen closely, notice patterns, and help you find words for experiences that may be difficult to understand or express. I also draw from my training in EMDR and DBT to shape therapy around each person rather than using the same approach with everyone.
I believe therapy can help people feel more choice and freedom in how they relate to themselves, their histories, and the people around them. The goal is not only to manage symptoms, but also to better understand what has shaped you and move forward with greater intention.
