Bipolar Disorder therapists in Iowa

I specialize in providing support and treatment for individuals living with bipolar disorder. Understanding the unique challenges posed by this condition—including mood swings, energy fluctuations, and interpersonal difficulties—I am committed to creating a compassionate and structured environment for healing and growth. In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore the patterns of your mood episodes and identify triggers that may contribute to your experiences. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we will develop strategies to manage mood fluctuations, enhance emotional regulation, and improve interpersonal relationships. I also incorporate psychoeducation into our work, helping you and your loved ones better understand bipolar disorder. This knowledge can empower you to recognize early signs of mood changes, leading to proactive management and improved quality of life. In addition, we will focus on developing personalized coping strategies and self-care routines to enhance stability and resilience. Mindfulness techniques and relaxation strategies may also be integrated to help you cultivate a sense of balance and calm. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings, helping you navigate the complexities of bipolar disorder while fostering a path towards lasting wellness and fulfillment.
