Hello and welcome—I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy in Arizona and Iowa with over 20 years of experience in mental health services. My ideal clients are women seeking support for anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and relationship stress. Many are high-functioning but feel exhausted, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or struggle with boundaries and self-worth. Clients often come when stress or recurring relationship patterns feel hard to manage alone. My specialty is trauma-informed, person-centered therapy that focuses on attachment patterns, self-worth, and practical tools for meaningful, lasting change in daily life. I help clients explore patterns that contribute to anxiety, burnout, and relationship stress while building emotional regulation, coping skills, and healthier boundaries. I understand how exhausting it can feel to manage anxiety, burnout, and relationship stress while trying to hold everything together. Together, we gently explore the patterns keeping you stuck and build tools for emotional regulation, self-trust, and healthier boundaries so you can feel more grounded, supported, and connected in your daily life.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Iowa rather than a city like Des Moines?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Iowa. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Iowa from Cedar Rapids to Davenport! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Iowa.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
