My Approach

My clients are the experts on their own lives and that's important to me. I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that is better done as teamwork between therapist and client and that's what I strive for. Stylistically, I am a person-centered counselor who values the quality of the therapist-client relationship above all else. I incorporate humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and other empirically based techniques and interventions that are individually tailored for each client.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Buena Vista University, my JD from Drake University School of Law, and am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a nationally certified counselor (NCC).

Prior to becoming a counselor, I served in the legal profession, including ten years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves as a Judge Advocate. I was honorably discharged in 2015 at the rank of Major.
