Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and adjustments to changes are some examples of reasons for seeking therapy. If you are looking for a partner in your healing journey, I am here to help you reach your goals towards feeling relief! I am physically located in South Dakota, in the beautiful homelands of the Lakota. I am originally from Western NY and I cherish my connection to my home! I hold licensure in NY, IA, and SD.
I am trained in many evidenced-based modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, as well as others. I take an eclectic, person-centered approach to provide services that are tuned to your needs. You determine the pace that we go.
If you are interested in learning more about my style and approach, please feel free to reach out. I am available for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs and goals, and to provide you an opportunity to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
