I'm a holistic practitioner who considers a whole person perspective. I originally graduated from Aspen University in 2019 with my Masters in Psychology and Addiction studies.

Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences they’ve carried for far too long. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds, or the lingering impact of trauma. Others are navigating life transitions, loss, or changes in identity that leave them uncertain about their next steps. At the core, most are seeking relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of themselves. They want to feel more regulated, more confident, and more capable of moving through daily life without being held back by old patterns or emotional pain.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Iowa
Searching for therapists in Iowa starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look for experience that matches your goals. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, or stress. As you compare Iowa therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy styles, and areas of focus, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.
Location, schedule, and format also shape whether a therapist is a practical fit. If you live near Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or Iowa City, you may find more in-person options, while virtual therapy can expand your search across Iowa. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Before booking, check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their approach and what a first session may include.
The cost of therapy in Iowa can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to search for Iowa therapists who take insurance, compare availability, and see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your specific coverage when you enter your insurance details. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
