Accepting New Clients! I am a Mental Health Counselor working towards full licensure in the state of Iowa. I received both my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa and Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Iowa. I have worked with ages 4 to adulthood on issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I enjoy working with clients who believe in their ability to change and are motivated to make those changes. In my work, I tend to use person-centered and strength-based approaches. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and as such my goal as a therapist is to create a safe space and meet each person where they are at in their journey. Having seen a therapist myself, I recognize the need for counseling and know how difficult taking that first step to reach out can be. Feel free to contact me as I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Families, couples and individuals impacted by trauma can find it difficulty to get the help they need. Trauma can impact a families basic ability to communicate and get along, fuel a couples difficulty to feel safe and heard by one another and erode an individuals ability to self regulate. It is common to feel stuck and more often than not, unacknowledged or unresolved trauma is the culprit. If you suspect there is trauma at play, holding you and your loved one back from real progress and change, real long lasting change is here. As a marriage and family therapist and a certified trauma professional, I possess a unique understanding of trauma and its transmission both generationally and genetically. My personal trauma has equipped me with insight that clients report as refreshing and insightful. Services are trauma, multicultural and social justice informed. Services include education on the effects, prevention, and recovery of trauma. Multiculturally-informed means biases (which we all have) such as ageism or sexism are seen as opportunities to increase awareness, strengthen relationships and enhance services. Cultural sensitivity is a priority.

I work exclusively with couples to create a secure functioning relationship where collaboration, cooperation and communication are enhanced. I believe all decisions in the relationship must serve both the individual and the couple for mutual harmony. Too often life is challenging, my hope for all couples is they can begin to see one another as trusted allies, the one who provides shelter from the storm, and the place where they find safety and security. I work with couples seeking premarital support, communication issues, intimacy, sex, parenting, infertility, betrayal, remarriage, step-parenting, finance, or breaking up. As a trained couples therapist I work with the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) developed by Dr. Stan Tatkin. As an avid learner and someone deeply committed to the well-being of my couples I continue to pursue ongoing training directly from Dr. Tatkin and his team of certified clinicians. There is nothing more rewarding for me than to see couples create increased secure functioning in their relationship and gain tools that will change their partnership for a lifetime. Using the PACT framework I work with longer sessions (3-hour intake and 2-hour subsequent sessions). Together we set our relationship goals and track our progress closely.

Hi, I'm Jenna. My therapeutic approach stems from my philosophy on healing and growth; it comes about through relationships and our connection with others. I believe we all desire a sense of belonging and thrive within community. My role as your therapist is to join you on your journey and provide a safe space where you feel comfortable to explore your inner world, and the world around you. I have experience working with women, gender-expansive individuals, and couples. I’ve worked closely with those struggling with relational issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and those who have experienced intimate partner violence. I work from a relational-cultural approach with a heavy emphasis on an anti-oppressive, feminist lens. Our work together will vary on your goals and the direction you take it; I always strive to empower my clients to guide how they want their healing journey to look. In addition to traditional talk-therapy, we can incorporate yoga, art, and meditation. It can take time to find a therapist you feel connected with. I would be honored to help you meet your goals while honoring your experience thus far. I am looking forward to meeting you, and getting to know your story. I aim to co-create a space with you where you will feel understood, supported, and challenged in a safe and empowering way.

I work best with those who are interested in and motivated to deeply explore and understand themselves in the service of lasting growth. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, OCD, relationship concerns, family-of-origin difficulties, and feelings of isolation and disconnection. I also have a strong interest in working with individuals with marginalized identities who present with identity-related challenges, especially when living in a context that doesn't support- or actively works to oppress- those identities. To help facilitate the hard work of change, I integrate psychoanalytic theory with other approaches a patient might need. I am invested in helping patients cultivate a better understanding of, and the ability to change, those patterns of behavior that prevent them from being in their life in the ways that they wish.

I want to help clients build the strength and confidence to face major life transitions and effectively work through uncomfortable emotions. If someone is struggling with postpartum depression, for example, I will support them until they realize they’re not alone and they are feeling able to cope. When you work with me, you’ll become more confident in asking for help and reaching out to resources and supports. Overall, I will help you find a sense of hope that it's not always going to be like this. My goal as a therapist is to listen to you when no one else will and help you find a voice when you feel like you don’t have one. Depending on the situation, I can be a lot of different things: a listening ear, an educator, an advocate, a life coach, or a guide down the right path. Mainly, I am a helper; someone who listens and assists. I hope clients can gain self-confidence, a clearer sense of self, validation, and acceptance of their feelings through therapy. I am here to help you work through past or present trauma and have the strength and confidence to get out of abusive relationships or overcome the effects of past abuse. Together we can find more effective coping mechanisms.
Accepting New Clients
In the years that I have been working as a mental health provider, I have met with individuals from a broad range of backgrounds. My clients have a variety of mental health problems, relationship issues, life transitional periods, grief and loss, trauma, and similar hardships. Some clients know what they suffer from and are ready to make changes. Some of my clients have felt something has been "off" for some time but do not know where to start, so I help them to assess the problem areas and track their progress between sessions. Changes happen at different speeds to different people for different reasons. My strengths lie in the different settings where I have treated clients (outpatient and inpatient), my therapy environment is safe and welcoming to all who seek help, and the various modalities and practices I use to help clients achieve the changes they want to see in their lives. Meadowlark Psychiatric Services can offer a variety of ways to help. If you have been suffering and feel like now is the time for help, if you are struggling now more than you have before, if you want help but do not know how to ask, if you need a safe space to just be you, please reach out to me at Meadowlark Psychiatric Services, and start seeking the relief you need.
Hi there! I am a mental health counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, gender and sexuality, relationship challenges, and life transitions. In my practicum and internship experiences, I worked with a variety of populations including adolescents, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, single mothers, university students, and more. Working with these groups, I've witnessed firsthand the resilience of clients in all manner of environments and situations. As a result, I have a passionate belief in the human ability to adapt and rise to overcome whatever obstacles stand in the way of living happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. I offer a person-centered counseling approach centering on client strengths, while also using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients meet their goals. Family systems and feminist theories also drive my work as a counselor, as they aid in understanding how each person functions in family and societal contexts. No matter your unique situation or background, my goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, supportive, and affirming counseling environment where you can feel safe to explore, make mistakes, heal, and grow. Ultimately my aim is to help you uncover your strengths, walking alongside you as you take steps toward self-discovery and change.

As a therapist, one of the essential parts of my work is to provide hope that there is an opportunity for change in everyone's life through positive relationships. I strive to build therapeutic relationships in a safe space for the clients I work with to promote growth and healing. Each child deserves the opportunity to process their challenging experiences in their own unique way, whether through play or verbalizing their experiences, in an empathetic and supportive space. I have learned through social work that each family and child have strengths that have helped them function and cope with their life experiences. I strive to identify these strengths and methods of coping for each family and child while also building on and teaching new skills to improve a child's functioning in their relationships and environments.

Life is about connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. Unfortunately, not all of us were raised in ways that makes it easy to make those connections, leaving us feeling distant, numb, anxious, confused, or frustrated. Therapy provides the space for you to say what you really think and feel, in confidence, and without the fear of judgment. It’s the holding of this space, and the development of different life-skills that allows us to build the connections you're looking for in your life. View 5 Photos I provide therapy that demystifies the process for my clients. Therapy isn’t about mind-reading or magic. It’s about uncovering your true self through radical honesty, learning and practicing life-skills that you can take into your everyday life, and making deep and lasting connections with the people in it. My experience as a therapist has taught me that regardless of past or current situations, everyone has the potential for growth. If you're stuck, confused, numb, frustrated, angry, feeling disconnected from yourself and others, or just looking for perspective, I'm here to help. Call, email, or visit my website to schedule an appointment.

Currently accepting new clients. As a mental health professional with many years of experience in a hospital, corporate wellness, and community crisis counseling setting, I am passionate about helping others. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Iowa. Throughout my experiences, I've witnessed individuals make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives, drawing strength from their experiences and the struggles they've overcome. I want to help individuals be the best version of themselves and help them work through any past trauma that might be holding them back. As an Army veteran with over 23 years of service, including two overseas deployments, I have a special interest in working with veterans. In addition, I've worked with college students and individuals who have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, life transitions, family issues, and disordered eating. I truly believe everyone can benefit from therapy. You are the expert of your experience; my role as your therapist would be to assist you in achieving your goals while developing your strengths. I know first-hand that strong rapport is critical to the therapeutic process; I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and discover if we're a good fit!
Accepting New Clients
I firmly believes that you are the expert of your life and that as your therapist, I would offer an outside perspective to assist with reframing and providing interventions for in-between sessions to help you make the most of your therapeutic experience and achieve your goals. Everyone deserves to have opportunities to grow and be the best version of themselves, regardless of self-perceived or societal-imposed limitations. Talk therapy is highly effective, however I also like to emphasize research-based treatment modalities and provide tangible feedback and interventions that are realistically applicable to the individual. My training includes extensive knowledge in trauma-informed treatment, counseling individuals, couples, and families. I believe counseling is a process; an fluid exchange between life, emotions, and perception, and the deciphering of all these things. I am here to help you navigate through this process. I received my Masters in Social Work from Michigan State University, and have experience in trauma/abuse, cultural despondency, sports psychology, and depression/anxiety. I integrate diverse methodologies and techniques to offer a more personalized treatment toward desired goals.

As humans we all have complex lives and due to this complexity, we all experience stressful events, but if these have started to impact daily life functioning and your quality of life, it is time to look at your options. The idea of therapy can be intimidating, but in reality it is an opportunity to self-reflect, promote healing, and improve one's quality of life. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, collaborative, strength-based, client-oriented, and solution-focused. I typically utilize aspects or Rational Emotive Behavioral Theory, Logos Theory, Crisis Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, and various others as people are complex and a person's therapist needs be adaptable and responsive to their needs. There are times within everyone's life that we become overwhelmed with what is going on around us and that is the opportunity to seek out new coping strategies and problem-solving skills. There is hope and there can be change; it all starts with you taking that first step and making that call for an appointment.
