Rhonda has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters in Social Work, both from the University of Iowa. She has experience working with adolescents in a mental health hospital setting, young adults in a transitional independent living group home, and new moms adjusting to life as a parent caring for their infants and themselves in a pilot program at Broadlawns Medical Center. For 16 years Rhonda taught preschool through high school, both as a homeschool mom, and for 6 years as a preschool teacher. She was also a social worker at Blank Children’s Hospital for 5 years. Her life and professional experiences have enriched her perspective and knowledge, which allows for unique insights, appreciation, and empathy in the therapeutic relationship. Rhonda practices from various therapeutic modalities, working with adults and adolescents age 12 and older, and is currently accepting new clients.

It is often not until after walking through the darkness that I am able to see God’s faithful working of all things together for my good. His revealing of my blind spots and gentle, persistent nudging (even when met with equally persistent resistance) have led me on paths of healing and growth. His patience and grace overwhelm my soul with gratitude. His love always wins.

Meeting you right where you are, and integrating faith as much or as little as desired, would be my honor. That you would feel seen, heard, and valued would be my intention. Working together as you begin your unique journey, step by step, would be my privilege.
