Divorce Therapists in South Dakota

There are times in our lives when we need help. Life experiences require us to make the decision to seek guidance from outside our immediate family and friends. Counseling can provide much needed support and intervention in times of crises or with chronic issues that last a lifetime. Don't consider it a weakness but a strength to take that step to be the best possible individual or family you can be.

I received my degree in Counseling and Psychology in Education and am a Licensed Professional Counselor-MH.

Special areas of interest include working with children and adolescents in areas related to: abuse issues, trauma, evaluations and therapy for children with sexualized behaviors, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, divorce issues, behavioral issues and adjustment issues. I also work with children, adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities.

If you are looking for a Friendly, Personable, Accepting, Experienced & Skilled Counselor, look no further. For over 30 years, I have provided a cozy environment in which I've helped children, teens & adults successfully navigate & work through difficult life circumstances, emotional & behavioral problems, communication & relational conflicts, & social & self-esteem/self-confidence issues. Even years after my clients have completed counseling, when I see them in the community, they stop me & tell me how much they enjoyed, learned & benefited from our time together.

As a client-centered, compassionate and collaborative therapist, my treatment approach focuses on the individual needs of my clients to help them reach their goals. I help adolescents, adults and families discover their strengths, gain perspective, and address their current challenges and long-standing issues. I use a selection of styles and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each client. Play therapy is the approach I use when working with early adolescents.

Individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Parents may be looking for assistance for their child as they are demonstrating behaviors.

Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help.

Whatever you are feeling, those feelings are valid.
