IOWA CITY, CORALVILLE & STATEWIDE TELEHEALTHYour Iowa City Psychotherapist
I want to help you through your deepest work. This can look like the emotional wounds that started early in life, the environmental failures during childhood, and the gnawing feelings of inadequacy that still linger in your mind. How I can help is by using EMDR, NARM, DBT, and Ego-State Therapy to help guide you through your current struggles. This work can be done both in-person, and via telehealth anywhere in Iowa and North Carolina.
01 / recognitionYou don’t have to go through this alone
When we are struggling, sometimes the last thing that we want to do is reach out for help, but I am glad you close to doing so. I know what it is like to carry emotional pain throughout life while you do your best to tell everyone you’re “fine.” Or maybe you have tried to get some help, and it didn’t go well. I am here for you also. Whether you decide to reach out for support, or you are just passing through, I want to make it clear that there is room for you here. This kind of work is not easy, but it is worth it. The rest of your life is worth it. I look forward to hearing from you when you’re ready.
