About Zachery
As a licensed therapist in Iowa, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My professional background centers on addressing addiction, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including military veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ communities.
My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences. I offer specialized support for those navigating multicultural concerns, gender identity, relationship structures, and personal healing journeys. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
I am committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care that honors each person’s lived experience and inherent strengths. Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, managing anger, exploring identity, or seeking support through significant life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with understanding and professional guidance.

- “I appreciate you and your help.”
- “I felt heard and comfortable talking with Zach.”
- “Very knowledgeable and very helpful he’s direct and challenges you to work on your stuff and gives you all the tools to do so!”
- “Zach is a very no-nonsense therapist. He calls it like he sees it and that was exactly what I needed. He asks the hard questions, provides his honest opinion and provides food for thought. I've left each session with a plan or something to work on and finally feel like I can move past a near lifelong addiction. I feel lucky that Betterhelp assigned Zach to me.”
- “Zachery really helped frame problems in a different light to see things from a perspective I hadn't thought of before. He doesn’t just appease you or validate your thoughts, he pushes you to think deeper and even calls you out when something is unhealthy. He has really helped us from the first session to now, even with scheduling conflicts he’s made a way to still find a time for therapy. Phenomenal at his job. Highly recommend.”
- “Zachery is very respectful and insightful helping me through my journey and his expertise has been very valuable along the way!”
- “Zach has been very helpful in navigating our challenges and shortcomings. He’s been fair for both sides and creates space to acknowledge our truths and both weaknesses and strengths. He has been very encouraging and validating as we make progress and has been instrumental in helping us navigate this extremely difficult time in our lives. I would highly recommend him.”
- “Very professional and easy to respond with”
- “I like how Zachery is real. He doesn't sugar coat things. I like how he can relate to the younger generation, but is empathetic to the older one. He has a kind heart and a strong sense of right and wrong.”
- “We have met with Zachary once and he actually had questions and opinions. TY for that Zachary”
- “Zach is awesome. He’s down to earth, but firm when he needs to be. I’d highly recommend him to anyone!”
- “Zachery is action-oriented. I didn't want someone who would just listen to me as I worked out my own problems. I wanted a therapist who listened to me but then told me what to do. Zachery gave me the language I needed to set proper boundaries to enhance the major relationships in my life. I value his candid perspective; he makes all the mess in my head much more simplistic and offers realistic solutions. I would recommend him to anyone who needs solutions.”
