I am a Licensed Psychologist in Iowa, a Yoga Teacher at Life Time, the sole owner of my private practice and the treasurer of the Iowa Psychological Foundation. My educational background includes an M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Iowa. I provide individual therapy to clients with a variety of presenting concerns, and offer a holistic and psychodynamic lens to help clients live more purposefully in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
I believe positive change is created through genuine connection, compassion, expert guidance and hope. I can empower you by helping you gain self-knowledge, including an understanding of how your life experiences contribute to your current thoughts, feelings, and behavior, which will ultimately strengthen your relationships with others and yourself. My philosophy is that you are unique, and treatment must therefore be tailored to your specific needs and context. I will collaborate with you to assist you in accomplishing your goals, take into consideration the systems within which you operate, and integrate yoga techniques such as meditation and breath/body work as appropriate.
