About My Clients
I serve high-achievers who are successful on paper but struggling behind the scenes. My clients are professionals, executives, and business owners navigating substance use, anger, and burnout. You value privacy and need a space that is completely "off-record." You aren't looking for a generic program; you need a strategic partner. I provide personal, direct care to help you manage stress and regain control without losing your edge. LGBTQIA+ affirming.
My Background and Approach
As a dual-licensed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and International Alcohol and Drug Counselor (IADC), I offer a comprehensive approach that bridges the gap between mental health and addiction treatment. This dual expertise is critical for my clients, as substance use and anger are often symptoms of deeper professional burnout or unmanaged stress. I don't just treat the behavior; I help you resolve the root cause. I understand that for successful professionals, the biggest barrier to help is often the fear of losing credibility. My practice addresses this by offering a completely discreet, private-pay model. By bypassing insurance, I ensure your records remain off the grid, protecting your professional reputation. I am an LGBTQIA2S+ affirming provider and offer 100% telehealth services. This allows you to access high-quality, specialized care from the privacy of your home or office, fitting seamlessly into a busy schedule.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I founded my practice on a simple belief: Success should not come at the cost of your humanity. I value autonomy and dignity above all else. This means I advocate for a harm-reduction approach that respects your personal choices, rather than imposing rigid checklists. I believe you are the expert on your life, and my role is to support your goals, not dictate them. I am deeply committed to advocacy for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. As a provider involved with QueerPsych and the NAADAC LGBT+ Committee, I actively work to ensure that mental health care in Iowa is safe, affirming, and culturally competent for queer and trans individuals. I also stand for authenticity. I value "real talk" over clinical jargon. I support causes that protect mental health privacy, believing that seeking help should never jeopardize a career. I am an active member of the Iowa professional community, dedicated to breaking the stigma around addiction and mental health in high-performance environments.
