You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.
I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.
I specialize in:
- Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
- High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Iowa
Finding psychiatrists in Iowa starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and adjusting the care plan when clinically appropriate. If you’re looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and clinical focus match your needs. Needs and available psychiatrists can vary across urban and rural parts of Iowa, so it helps to compare options with both clinical fit and location in mind.
Your search may look different in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Iowa City, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer in-person appointments close to home or work, while others choose virtual visits for more scheduling flexibility. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists, review appointment availability, whether they’re accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect before booking.
Psychiatric care in Iowa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find Iowa psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your exact coverage depends on your location and benefits. You can browse psychiatrists, review bios, compare in-person and virtual availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
