I'm a licensed counselor in Iowa (in-person sessions in Manchester), and Texas, with eight years of experience in the counseling field.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Iowa
Finding the right therapist in Iowa starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions, and ADHD. Iowa has licensed providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to family therapy and couples counseling. Knowing what matters most to you, whether that's a specific specialty, virtual availability, or a provider's communication style, can help you narrow your search.
With Iowa ranking among the lower half of states for mental health workforce availability, finding a provider who is both a good fit and accepting new patients can take time. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near you in Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, or another part of the state, or whether virtual sessions give you more flexibility. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their background, approach, and what to expect.
Therapy in Iowa can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Confirming your coverage upfront means fewer surprises and a clearer path to getting started.
