LGBT therapists in Iowa

I am a licensed Marriage and Family counselor. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with my master's in MFT and worked in the Chicago area for a few years and then moved back to Iowa where I became fully licensed.

I am able to see individuals, couples, and families. I have a special interest in adoptees and people what impact that may have. I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) and have extensive experience working with those with addiction and incarceration in their past. I have worked with those who have been recently released from federal and state prison and who may be on parole or probation.

Hi, I'm Joanie! If you're feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or painful life experiences, you don't have to navigate them alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past, constantly on edge, or wondering why certain emotions and reactions seem so difficult to control. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today while helping them build the insight, confidence, and tools needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
