LISW
Accepting Clients

Welcome! I have been a social worker for over 15 years and worked in a variety of settings with all populations.

Clinical Social Worker in Cedar Rapids, IA

About My Clients

I enjoy working with teenagers and adults who are feeling depressed, anxious and alone decrease those feelings. I utilize EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help identify where trauma might be stored in the body so that unsatisfying patterns and relationships can end. I also work through a fat positive (HAES) lens and incorporate intuitive eating with clients that have struggled for years with restriction and bingeing so that they can finally find peace within themselves and with food.

My Background and Approach

I will help you identify how to find safety and peace within yourself through a variety of body-based activities. I'll also teach you how to identify your thinking patterns so that you can respond in a way that is healing instead of a way that is based on old habits and patterns. We will explore ways to help you trust yourself and your choices so that you can achieve goals and relationships that previously seemed out of reach.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe there is always hope and sometimes I am the one holding it until others are ready to hold their own. I believe that we have wiring and learned behaviors and this wiring can be changed and behaviors unlearned through awareness, practice and support. I believe in empathy and optimism (while being a realist) and that rest is non-negotiable. I also believe that going to therapy and working on changing beliefs and behaviors is some of the hardest and most rewarding work that you will ever do. I can speak from personal experience. I believe that our medical system is broken and at time can cause more harm and trauma than health and happiness. I believe that no one should face their struggles alone. If you'd like to know more about how I can help, shoot me a message.
