More about me

Years in Practice: 17 State: Iowa

I am licensed in Iowa with 17 years of professional counseling experience. I primarily use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I have experience in helping clients deal with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence, depression and coping with life changes. I also have extensive experience working with adults with attention deficit disorder (ADHD). I believe you are the expert of your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges. I will help you identify your strengths and then we will work together so you can learn how to use those strengths to resolve your challenges. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I absolutely love her as a therapist. She even messages me on her days off I recommend her to people and she needs all the credit

Aileen has helped me navigate issues I had with my stressful job and with personal relationships, and in eliminating that stress and anxiety. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and for having someone that will listen without judgement. The anger and stress I was having was leaking into my personal life and I am so grateful to be free of it. I was not aware of some of the factors that were affecting me. Now I have the tools to recognize the slow build up and stop feeling overwhelmed and out of control. The weight that has come off my shoulders is tremendous.

Aileen has been a wonderful sound board. She looks at things from a unique perspective which helps me to also slow down and look at events in my life differently. She has truly become a necessary part of my mental health journey. Thank you Aileen.

She knows me better than I do certain days! She is wonderful about offering suggestions and perspectives I do not always think about. Really enjoy our conversations. She has made a large impact on helping me to lessen my anxiety.

Aileen is great at making me feel heard and comfortable. From day one she made it clear we did not have to discuss anything that made me feel uneasy until I was ready. This was very comforting and relieved so much stress. She has given me new coping skills to try as well as new perspectives on issues that have helped me to become less anxious and depressed.

Thank you for the help

Aileen is so great. She is kind but firm. She has really helped me understand a lot about my work place and how I am interacting with my people around me. I have worked through a lot with her and she is a great addition to my tool box of working on myself and finding my way through my new career as well as my life.

She listens and doesn’t pressure me. She gives the feeling of a friend/family due to her ability to listen and help. She’s great.

She is very thoughtful and just gives off such an accepting vibe. I am not someone who feels very comfortable opening up, but doing so with her has been much more natural and her questions guide me to realizations about myself. Aileen is great

Thank you

Some of the replies she gives me I do feel are generic. But she does reply. Although, I suppose therapy is a little generic becuase its alot of self relfection and wanting you to realize the answers yourself
