Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Davenport, IA

Many people will see me because they won't know quite what that need and they are looking for answers. I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and I specialize in care for veterans, service members, first responders, and older adults (such as those with dementia), although I am open to seeing anyone who needs help! At the very least, I can help point you in the right direction.

Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or the emotional impact of chronic stress, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in respect, confidentiality, and individualized care.

Life doesn’t always give you time to catch your breath, whether you’re managing

anxiety and depression, moving through a stressful life transition, or facing a chronic

illness or end-of-life diagnosis. For over 12 years, I’ve helped adults and seniors find

steadier ground through anxiety, depression, chronic illness, end-of-life care, and the

stress of young adulthood, in a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space. If you’re

looking for a therapist to walk alongside you, I’d love to connect.

I help adults heal from trauma, grief, and overwhelming life experiences that may still be affecting how you feel day to day. You may be dealing with panic attacks, sleepless nights, nonstop worry, irritability, dissociation, explosive emotions, or the sense that what happened to you is still showing up in your work, relationships, and everyday life. I also work with clients healing from childhood abuse or neglect, grief, car accidents, and other painful experiences that can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. My goal is to help reduce suffering and support you in finding a healthier, more peaceful path forward.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.

My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.

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 work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

I believe therapy works best when you can show up as yourself without judgment, pressure, or feeling like you have to say the “right” thing. I’ve known since I was a junior in high school that I wanted to help people heal from the inside out, and that purpose has stayed with me ever since. For me, therapy isn’t just a job it's my purpose.

I work with clients ages 10+ navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and pretty easy to talk to. You don’t have to come to therapy with everything figured out...we will do that together!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience, I work with teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, life changes, relationships, grief, and emotional overwhelm. Sometimes you may not have the words for what you’re feeling—you just know something feels off. I offer a warm, judgment-free space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need.

I believe mental health care works best when people feel truly known, respected, and safe. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management with compassionate, whole-person support. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.

For clients who desire it, I also offer Catholic-integrated care that honors the role faith can play in healing, identity, relationships, suffering, purpose, and hope. My goal is never to pressure or preach, but to thoughtfully integrate Catholic values, spirituality, prayer, or faith-based perspectives into treatment in a clinically appropriate and supportive way. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health, motherhood transitions, trauma, relationship stress, life changes, and struggles related to self-worth or burnout.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide medication management while also taking time to understand the deeper emotional, relational, lifestyle, and spiritual factors affecting mental health. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, approachable, thorough, and collaborative rather than rushed or impersonal.

Whether you are looking for practical symptom relief, deeper healing, or a provider who understands and respects your faith, my hope is that you feel supported, heard, and encouraged throughout the process.
