Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“A compassionate knowledgeable therapist who has over 20 years of experience helping couples and adults live more peaceful fulfilling lives.”

About Me

This compassionate therapist supports adults and couples seeking more peaceful, fulfilling lives. Drawing on extensive experience, they offer a knowledgeable space to explore challenges and develop practical strategies. Clients find a grounded approach that helps them navigate complex emotions and build stronger connections. Sessions focus on understanding communication patterns and cultivating lasting well-being. This therapist is a good match for those ready to gently transform their relationships and personal outlook.

Approach

My sessions create a calm, practical space where we unpack patterns, clarify values, and practice new ways of relating. Meeting in Coralville or online in English, I keep work steady and paced—mindful attention in session, small experiments between appointments, and check-ins that track progress. Therapy blends honest conversation, emotion-focused reflection, and clear, doable steps so change feels real and manageable. This way of working tends to suit adults and couples ready for steady, collaborative growth.
