Telehealth Therapy in Iowa
Secure online counseling available statewide — same quality care as in-person, from the comfort of your own space
Schedule Online TherapyQuality Therapy, Wherever You Are in Iowa
Whether you live in Des Moines, Altoona, Pleasant Hill, Ankeny, Ames, Iowa City, or anywhere else in Iowa, you can access the same high-quality, DBT-based counseling that I provide in person in Colfax — through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions.
Telehealth isn't a lesser version of therapy. For many clients, it's actually better — more convenient, more accessible, and easier to fit into a busy life. The skills you learn in a telehealth session work just as well in your real environment, because that's exactly where you'll be practicing them.

Telehealth FAQ
Is telehealth therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes — research consistently shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for most mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. The therapeutic relationship, which is the most important factor in therapy outcomes, translates well to video sessions.
What do I need for a telehealth session?
You need a private location, a device with a camera and microphone (phone, tablet, or computer), and a reliable internet connection. That's it — no special software or app download required.
Is my telehealth session private and secure?
Yes. All sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Your session is encrypted and private. The most important thing on your end is finding a private space where you won't be overheard.
Can I switch between in-person and telehealth?
Absolutely. Many clients mix in-person and telehealth sessions depending on their schedule and preference. Just let me know what works best for you.
Are telehealth sessions covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans that cover in-person therapy also cover telehealth. I'm currently in-network with Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your telehealth benefits.
