Tips to help yourself reconnect to wellness.

Join us in welcoming Anders to the team at Dagaz Therapy!

My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, with the belief that change happens through collaboration and curiosity. As much as I wish it were, therapy is not an “instant-cure.” While change can be quick, it is often a longer journey with both forward and backward steps.

I believe that people are complex beings shaped by their experiences. We can only work with what we have been taught, and therapy is about recognizing these patterns and belief systems and learning how to create new ones that serve us better.

My primary modalities include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Play Therapy. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma responses. I also work with children who are struggling with behavioral challenges, including self-injurious behaviors and physical aggression.

I primarily serve children (ages 6+) and adolescents who are navigating mental health difficulties through individual therapy. I also work closely with families to strengthen communication, connection, and support through family therapy.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University and am completing my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Northern Iowa. My professional background includes experience in residential treatment programs, group homes, crisis stabilization homes, and mobile crisis response.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, crafting, cooking, baking, and spending time with my cat.

Make yourself a priority: The 5 C’s of Self Care are so important to remember and implement in our daily lives. When these elements are nurtured and made a part of our daily living, the 5 C’s can help us to improve our overall mental health and wellbeing, enhance our resilience when life gets hard, and reduce our overall stress.
Always remember that you are important and that you matter. We cannot pour from empty cups, but we can remember to recharge and refill our cups daily.

Affirmations are short, positive statements that reinforce your worth and values. They work by replacing negative self-talk with uplifting messages, helping to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self .

Scientific studies suggest that repeating affirmations over time strengthens neural pathways associated with positive thinking—and supports better emotional regulation and stress response . For instance, self-affirmation can lower threat-related brain activity, reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), and improve one’s mood and self-esteem .
