Welcome to online practice. I am glad you are here! My goal as a Counselor is to help my clients, help themselves. The time frame depends on your level of motivation. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you but also provides challenges to move forward towards your goals in therapy. I am an accountability Therapist who believes in making positive changes. I'd like to help you create these goals towards making meaningful changes in your life that sustain over time. I offer specialized mental health services for individuals, couples and families. Please schedule with me directly on my website. Supervising for SD, MN & IA.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (MH) who specializes in the following areas: Trauma/Crisis based Therapy, Military Support, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries. I have my undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Behavioral Science. I received my Master of Clinical Mental Health from South Dakota State University.
I believe the connection with your Therapist is important so here is a little bit about me. I am a mother of 3 boys and they are my entire world! I enjoy being out doors, helping others and working on projects in my garage. I worked as a Police Officer prior to becoming a Therapist and feel I was born to serve and help others! Thank you for being here!
