Meet canzadie

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

I wholeheartedly believe in tailoring therapy to fit the individual’s needs. I will utilize many different therapeutic modalities, interventions and strategies and am not afraid to mix things up as needed to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients. I am passionate about learning new techniques and have special interest in career counseling, hoarding disorder and victims of narcissistic personality disorder. 

I received my masters degree from Upper Iowa University and my internship was at MercyOne Horizons substance abuse and mental health center. I believe this has given me an added perspective into the struggle that dual diagnosis clients and their families face on a daily basis. I spent a few years working in community mental health serving clients with schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders, eating disorders, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and numerous other issues. 

I have lived in Iowa most of my life and am a wife and mother of a large blended family. I understand the issues that new step parents face and can offer added support during the process of joining two established families together. I spent my childhood on a farm and enjoy the outdoors, fur babies of all types, camping, hiking and fishing. When I am not outside I spend my time on playing video games with my children, working on home improvement projects with my husband and working with animal rescue and rehabilitation fostering as needed.
