Making the choice to start therapy is a very personal decision. There are many reasons why people choose to start therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one’s life such as a divorce or work transition or entering into a new phase in life. Many seek therapy as a way to pursue their own personal exploration and growth as well. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, and general life transitions. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.

I do accept insurance for traditional talk therapy sessions, however insurance will not cover holistic healing modalities so the alternative healing sessions cannot be covered by insurance.

 That depends on you—your goals, your openness, and what we're working on.

Some clients experience significant shifts in just a few sessions, especially if they're doing targeted Theta Healing work. Others work with me for months or longer as we move through layers of healing.

What I can tell you is this: this work moves faster than traditional therapy because we're not just talking about your patterns—we're clearing them at the energetic and somatic level.

While medication can sometimes be effective, it alone cannot solve all your mental health issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with therapy and other services. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals. 

It might feel different—but most clients describe it as deeply relaxing, grounding, and surprisingly natural.

You don't have to "believe" in energy healing for it to work. Your body and nervous system respond to it regardless. That said, an open mind helps. If you're curious, willing, and ready to try something new, that's all you need.

Good. I love working with skeptics.

Here's the thing: I'm clinically trained. I have years of experience in evidence-based therapy. I understand the brain, trauma, and nervous system regulation from a scientific perspective.

Intuition isn't woo-woo. It's your body's intelligence, your subconscious wisdom, the part of you that's been trying to guide you all along. You don't have to call it "spiritual" if that doesn't resonate. Call it somatic awareness. Call it gut instinct. Call it whatever you want.

The results speak for themselves.

Not at all.

You don't need to meditate, journal, or believe in anything specific to benefit from this work. You just need to be open to the idea that your body holds wisdom your mind doesn't have access to—and that healing happens when we listen to it.

Whether you call it intuition, higher self, source, God, or just "that gut feeling"—we'll use language that resonates with you.

Absolutely.

Some clients come to me specifically for energetic healing sessions and aren't looking for traditional therapy. That's completely fine. We can work together on a session-by-session basis.

Great question.

Reiki is a gentle, full-body energy clearing. It's deeply relaxing, regulates your nervous system, and clears blockages without you having to "do" anything. It's perfect for releasing stress, trauma, or emotional heaviness that's been stored in your body.

Theta Healing is more targeted and active. We connect to your subconscious and higher self to identify the specific belief or block that's keeping you stuck—and then we clear it. It's faster, more precise, and often results in rapid shifts.

Think of Reiki as a full reset for your energy field. Theta is like energetic surgery—we go in, find the problem, and remove it.

Both are powerful. It just depends on what you need.

No. Hypnotherapy is considered an alternative treatment and is not covered by insurance—even when provided by a licensed therapist.

Because of this, I offer hypnotherapy as a separate, private-pay service outside of traditional talk therapy sessions. This allows me to work without the constraints of insurance requirements and give you the full depth and flexibility this modality requires.

If you're currently working with me in ongoing therapy and want to integrate hypnotherapy into your treatment plan, we can discuss how to structure that in a way that works for you.

Hypnotherapy sessions are priced separately and can be scheduled as standalone appointments or in combination with other services.

Yes! I offer virtual sessions for clients anywhere in Iowa.

If you've read this far and something in you is saying yes, this is what I've been looking for—that's your intuition talking.

Trust it.

Let's schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We'll talk about what you're struggling with, what you're looking for, and whether we're a good fit. No pressure. Just clarity.
