Blooming Minds

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that many of the ways we struggle today were once the ways we learned to survive. Whether you find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, carrying the weight of everyone else's emotions, or feeling disconnected from who you are, these patterns didn't develop overnight—and they aren't signs that something is wrong with you. More often, they're adaptations shaped by your life experiences, relationships, and the environments that taught you what it meant to feel safe, accepted, or loved. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, trauma-focused interventions, Cognitive Processing theory, attachment-based work, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed concepts to create a therapy experience that's tailored to you. One of my favorite parts of therapy is helping clients connect the dots between their past experiences and the patterns they're still living today. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, heard, and accepted. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can reconnect with yourself, build healthier boundaries, strengthen your relationships, and move with greater confidence, self-trust, and authenticity. Together, we'll help you move from surviving to living with greater confidence, connection, and self-trust. Now offering Therapy services to Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri clients.
