Become resolute in your solutions
Serving Individuals. Couples. Families. Children.
I strongly believe that whether someone is simply going through some uncomfortable stress, or enduring a very painful transition in life, together we can find answers that will renew hope and help you feel empowered to change your life. I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and recognize that the patient is the expert in their own life. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to find unique solutions to complex problems. I believe focusing on patient strengths, not weaknesses, elicits hope and leaves room for meaningful and long lasting change.
At Resolute Therapy you will find The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Clinic of Iowa. I use both CBT and solution-focused therapy to help individuals with BDD work toward recovery. Find out more at www.bddclinicofiowa.com
You will also find Resolute Rainbows, offering group therapy for parents and children who have Gender Dysphoria. Find out more here.

My Approach
I work with all ages, genders, race, religions,and sexual orientations. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have specialized training in Systems Theory which dictates that behavior is influenced by a variety of factors that work together as a system. A person's parents, friends, school, economic class, home environment and other factors all influence how a person thinks and acts. Therefore, I work within a holistic framework, keeping all aspects of the individual, couple or family system in mind.
I specialize in the treatment of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Gender Dysphoria, Anxiety and Mood disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Social and Specific Phobias.
I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and love assisting people in finding ways to be true to who they are in their every day life and communities.
My training in play therapy gives me the tools to be successful with young children experiencing numerous concerns.

Why "Resolute"
I have been asked why I chose the name "Resolute Therapy."
To be resolute means to be purposeful, determined, and unwavering. So often we can feel lost and unsure of who we are. We measure our self-worth based on others perceptions of us, rather than our own perceptions of us. We have inner fears of never being good enough. Never being deserving of love. Theodore Roosevelt said, "It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things." Therapy can be DIFFICULT. The first step, asking for help, is often the most difficult part. Talking about painful matters can be grim, but doing so is courageous. I respect all people's stories. I offer unconditional, genuine, positive regard. Through a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I hope that you will leave feeling a greater purpose, determined to achieve your goals, and unwavering in your self-worth.
