Grief counselors and therapists in Davenport, IA

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale.

I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.
