I provide mental health services as a licensed clinician in South Dakota (CSW‑PIP) and Nebraska (LIMHP/LCSW).
My ideal clients are people who are overwhelmed by life’s demands and are looking for a seasoned, steady therapist who can help them regain emotional balance. They tend to be:
1. Adults and adolescents navigating depression or anxiety who feel stuck, exhausted, or emotionally overloaded.
2. Individuals facing major life transitions (Divorce, Career changes, Health challenges, Caregiving stress. Empty‑nest transitions)
My experience allows me to blend evidence‑based approaches (CBT, DBT, mindfulness) with the kind of intuitive clinical judgment that only comes from years in the field. Clients can expect: Clear guidance, emotional safety. someone who can help them build real‑world coping skills.
With my years of experience I bring a wide range of human experiences and know how to guide them through theirs. I will help them feel grounded again by conveying steadiness, warmth, and a sense of “you don’t have to do this alone.” I offer a space where people feel seen and not judged.
