The lotus flower has long symbolized strength, resilience and new beginnings. The flower grows through the murkiest of waters with clean petals and re-blooms each morning.
Everything we need in this life is already within us.
We are our greatest asset but it can be difficult to believe in ourselves and access what we need. The journey of counseling is not only to heal, but to explore ourselves and what we want for this life. Empowerment and authenticity are the focus in my therapy room; believing in yourself and your abilities while not sacrificing who you are and what you want. I use a person-centered approach, with a direct delivery, meeting the individual where they are and walking alongside them.
I believe in a holistic approach and recognize the importance of including all parts of self in the therapeutic process.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and graduated from Drake University with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Prior to my graduate schooling, I had over 12 years of experience working in human services with a wide array of populations.
I am intentional, playful and can usually be found laughing. My favorite color is glitter (which I think says a lot about me) and I am a cat person. I love Beetlejuice, The Golden Girls and listening to John Mayer. I enjoy reading, spending time near water, playing board games and spending time with the people I love.
Beginning the journey of therapy can be intimidating. My goal is to create a genuine, warm and inviting atmosphere where you can be yourself and ask any questions you may have. Each person’s journey is unique to them; modalities used, appointment length and appointment frequency will be discussed and decided on together.
Please remember that being responsible for your bill and ensuring your copay is paid at the time of service not only helps maintain the integrity of our therapeutic relationship but also supports the sustainability of the practice of Lotus Mental Health Counseling. Your commitment to this partnership is greatly appreciated.
