Multicultural Therapists in Des Moines, IA

If you are spiritual, but not religious and need relationship support, you've come to the right place. Relationship Coaching helps you make tangible changes in your day to day relationship dynamic so you're not getting stuck on the same triggers and repeating the same patterns. This isn't about processing in circles endlessly, but implementing tangible change so you can heal, grow and deepen intimacy. Schedule a free curiosity call.

Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.

As a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in a comprehensive range of support services that create clarity, resilience, and personal growth. My expertise includes: Trauma Recovery: Utilizing cutting-edge practices for comprehensive healing from complex trauma, including sexual assault and PTSD. This includes Grief mitigation and support. Behavioral and Cognitive Coaching: Offering Behavioral Intelligence Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Mastery, and Logic-Based Therapy (LBT) to address issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD. Addiction and Recovery: Providing tailored support for overcoming addictions, with a focus on Alcohol, Drug Awareness, and Addiction Relief Coaching. Personal and Professional Development: Guiding individuals through Career Counseling, Personal Financial Management, and Personal Leadership and Ethics Coaching. Health and Wellness: Supporting clients in achieving their health and wellness goals, managing panic disorders, work-life balance issues, anger management, Post Election Anxiety, and family dynamic challenges. I am committed to delivering tangible results, breakthroughs, and transformations through highly effective tools and conscious real-time awareness techniques. My services are available online, offering flexibility and accessibility to clients worldwide.

Des Moines is Iowa's state capital and the center of America's insurance industry — home to Principal Financial Group, Wellmark, and dozens of other major insurers — creating a therapy demand shaped by the particular stresses of financial services careers alongside the concerns of a growing and increasingly diverse urban population. The city has experienced dramatic demographic change through refugee resettlement and immigration, with growing communities from Myanmar, Congo, and Latin America making it one of the most rapidly diversifying mid-size cities in the Midwest. UnityPoint Health — Iowa Methodist Medical Center and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community concentrated in the West Des Moines and Urbandale corridors. Iowa's relative shortage of mental health providers makes Des Moines an important access point for the broader state, and many therapists here serve clients from smaller surrounding communities.
