I strive to help individuals work towards peace and balance in the complex lives we all lead. An important part of therapy that is often lost when attempting to change or in dealing with change in general is to be at peace with the process. Life has many unplanned twists and turns, and I want to help each person be able to deal with life's challenges with grace and balance.

Regardless of what you may be seeking services for, YOU are worth the effort! Everyone responds to situations, conflicts, illnesses, and trauma differently. YOUR experiences, or the way YOU are affected personally, is the only one that matters in our sessions. There is no judgment, as you have survived the best way you could with the skills you had at your disposal. The mere fact that you are reading this, tells me you want more out of life, or you want to change something. Give a call, and together we'll begin your journey.

Seeking mental health services can help an individual learn to cope with the difficulties that occur in one’s life. I will be available to assist you in your mental health needs, learning to manage symptoms causing one discomfort. Mental health therapy, whether individual or couples, is about change and meeting the best needs of those involved.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS -- Valuing both reason and emotion, I believe in helping clients find a balance of the two in their daily lives. A safe, confidential connection is a courageous step when coping with big issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, divorce, addiction, strained relationships or transitions. It is with genuine regard for clients' personal stories that I feel dedicated to reducing suffering, building resiliency, and growing a hopeful future. Counseling is always structured to meet client goals and circumstances. I value your time and will provide support that is intentional, caring and respectful.

ONLINE SESSIONS AVAILABLE FOR NEW CLIENTS. FLEXIBLE TIMES. My hope is to provide a sense of connection in a world where we have become disconnected from each other. I offer evening and Saturday appointments as well as a flexible payment plan. I possess a genuine and strong passion for walking with others on their journey towards good mental health and meaningful, happy lives. I have nearly two decades of experience assisting others overcome their challenges and empowering individuals to achieve their goals. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to explore areas for growth.

My intention is to work collaboratively with you to affirm your strengths and identify your challenges, and find ways to support your growth into the unique human being you are created to be. My areas of specialty training are related to developing greater integrity between who we are and how we live our daily lives. I am the only WPATH Certified Gender Therapist in South Dakota, and one of 13 WPATH mentors in the U.S. My other specialty area is assessing, treating, and accommodating ADHD and hfASD/Asperger's Syndrome (especially in girls & women, because – due to estrogen – the symptoms appear very differently than in boys & men).

I am passionate and committed to serving children ages 3-12 experiencing a variety of issues. My goal is to help children and their parents make connections between difficult behaviors and their underlying causes, and help them implement interventions that fit and work well for the family. I work from a person centered approach, providing strength-based care to help children and families to address challenges in a way that meets each person’s unique needs. I also believe that play is the language of children, and use both directive and non-directive play therapy techniques to address struggles and difficult topics.

I have a passion for working with behaviorally challenging kids and their parents. I enjoy the process of sorting through the outward difficult behaviors and discovering the root of their actions. I have worked with troubled teens and tweens for more than 10 years and have discovered that there is always more than meets the eye with these youngsters. The teenaged years and the few preceding years are difficult times not only for the kids, but parents and caretakers. It may seem that nothing helps manage their behaviors and emotions. I can help kids and their parents find solutions to defiant behaviors.

Hi! My name is Sara and I enjoy helping women to balance the stress and anxiety of their busy lives. When life gets busy, it can be easy to miss out on the happy moments of life and let things like work stress, relationship challenges and worry overwhelm you. I'm here to help you build new skills for managing your stress & learn how to be present and enjoy the great moments in your life as you start living your best life again.

I am passionate about helping women and children to experience a better life! In my practice, I focus on providing play therapy to children up to age 10, with a special emphasis on the early childhood population. I also provide mental health treatment to parents and other caregivers who are having difficulties in these caregiving roles. I provide counseling for women who are struggling with relationships, stress and other life difficulties who are looking to find more balance in life.

You're feeling stuck. Perhaps you know what’s holding you back and haven't been at a place in life to address it, or maybe you’re just overwhelmed by all life keeps throwing at you. Either way, it's hard and it keeps getting harder. And now, add social distancing and quarantining and face masks, and it feels out of control. You've been thinking about reaching out for a while, but the timing has never seemed right. But now, due to COVID-19, you can access most counselors from your home on your computer, tablet or phone. It's time.

I have a passion for incorporating a holistic and integrative approach to therapy & highlighting the importance of the mind/body connection as well as one’s sense of meaning or spirituality should they so desire. I believe in the strength of stepping into one's own power and taking charge of our mental health and wellbeing, while incorporating many different lifestyle factors into the therapy process. My goal is to help clients not only move away from what has been hindering them, but to assist them in rising to a state of flourishing and feeling in touch with their true selves, as we all have a unique gift to bring into this world.

I love working with individuals and couples who are ready to do the work to make real, lasting, and meaningful changes in their lives to meet the goals they have. Helping others challenge themselves to grow and improve their relationship with themselves and others is a great privilege for me, and the counseling profession is one of which I am truly grateful to be a part.

As a licensed professional mental health counselor, I strive to help couples, families and individuals find the resources to work together, communicate and find the harmonious balance that will foster a healthy relationship in a marriage or family setting. Couples and families who are experiencing distress often play the "blame game" and experience difficulty in communication. As a counselor and third party, I strive to help clients listen to each other, find healthy communication techniques, and accept responsibility for their roles in the relationship in turn encouraging love and respect to grow within the family system.

The foundation of my work is healing and liberation. Healing the deeper wounds, of trauma, worthiness & shame, and un-learning societal norms to release the ego in order to liberate women to step into their soulful authentic self. ​

I empower young adults and teens to build resiliency and strength through solution-focused, holistic approaches. By creating a safe, welcoming environment for exploration, I assist my clients in reaching their true potential while helping them create their own “toolbox” of skills to maintain health, happiness, and resiliency. I incorporate the development of coping strategies for staying connected with the mind and body while also helping clients find their own strength and voice in this world.

I have experience working in private practice and the inpatient setting. I practice EMDR Therapy and received my EMDR Training Certificate of Completion from the Maiberger Institute, an EMDRIA approved provider of EMDR Trainings.

It is often difficult to explain exactly what therapy is and to best describe a therapist's approach. I like to think of therapy as looking at what has scraped you up emotionally, cleaning out that wound, and then healing so you can live a healthier and happier life. As to my approach clients, parents, and coworkers have described me as honest, kind, compassionate, nonjudgmental, interpersonal, solution focused, collaborative, and someone who will call you on your crap.
