CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
I have a PhD in Couple and Family Therapy and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the states of Iowa and Wisconsin. I currently see in-person and teletherapy clients at Prism Therapy Group.
Previously, I served as Associate Clinic Director, therapist, and group facilitator at the University of Iowa's LGBTQ Counseling Clinic and have provided individual, couples, family, and group services at other clinics and organizations, such as the Survival House Domestic Violence Shelter.
