Avera Health Plans Therapists in Black Hawk, SD
“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Carl Rogers My personal philosophy of counseling is to be a guide or facilitator of each client’s journey of self-exploration, self-understanding, and self-awareness. I believe the client is the expert in their own life story and can successfully solve problems, change, meet challenges, and heal with the support from counseling. I believe that every client is unique in their situations and in the issues brought to counseling.

My ideal client is exploring change and considering what it may look like. Whether that is change in their relationships, lifestyle, career, family life, social life, etc... They recognize that a change needs to happen. Their goal is to decrease stress from the current behavior that continues to go on and they desire to find a different way to deal with issues that come up in life. They know what needs to change and the thought of doing something different is scary and overwhelming.

I believe in the inherent worth of every individual who steps into my office. I believe in the power of changed thoughts to help propel your actions and lead you to where you'd like to be in life. I believe that healthy relationships- with others and ourselves- are the key to wellbeing.

First, I want to thank you for being here. The first step is, as we say in the therapy world, the hardest, and by giving yourself that ounce of opportunity you unknowingly have already started your healing journey. Whether you are here because of past trauma, current life circumstances, or attempting to navigate the day to day, know you found the space to create the life you want to live.
It is my goal to make therapy a little less intimidating, as we know life is hard on its own. Instead, this is a journey to overcome, manage, and most importantly empower yourself to know you are no longer a victim to what you have lived.

Waitlist for new clients
Often, people come to therapy when something feels off—when stress builds, emotions feel harder to manage, or joy feels distant. You might be carrying anxiety, persistent sadness, or emotional exhaustion, even if you can’t fully explain why. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and find steadier ground.
I work with children, individuals, and couples, and I am extensively trained in trauma-informed care, anxiety, and depression. For couples, I’m trained in the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach that helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship.

I will help you see yourself anew, grieve your losses, face your fears, and help you locate your deep self and reconnect to your life's purpose. A natural joy will follow!

Feeling stuck despite insight? Let’s work with what’s actually blocking change.
I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand their patterns but still feel stuck, or who sense there is something deeper going on but are not sure how to access it yet. On the outside, things may look stable. Internally, something feels off. Patterns repeat, change does not stick, and relief feels out of reach. I help you understand and work through the deeper emotional patterns driving these cycles so you can experience more clarity, freedom, and meaningful change.
