  The majority of my experience has been working with adults in a variety of settings and roles. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa I worked on the Inpatient Behavioral Health Units at both Mercy Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital. In Iowa City, Iowa I worked in the previously known Prelude Behavioral Services in the Residential Substance Abuse Rehabilitation program. I have also worked at the Iowa City Veteran’s Healthcare System in the Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit.

Everyone deserves a kind, compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic provider. I strive to be a safe place for people to share their stories.
