Sanford Health Plan Therapists in Ellsworth AFB, SD
I think of therapy as a compassionate collaboration. Clients and I form a partnership in which we work together to not only change behavior, but to understand why we continue to make the same mistakes. We also develop a "roadmap" to avoid future problems by learning to spot "red flags" that may trigger old behaviors. Learning new coping skills and strengthening old ones are an intregal part of this process.

There are no shortages of changes or challenges that come along with the human experience. Self-doubt, depression, anxiety, and grief are just some of the struggles that might show up from time to time as we move through our days. Other times, life just gets a little out of focus and off balance, leaving us feeling lost and unsure about where we're at and where we're headed. As your therapist, I can help you find your way back to a path that takes your out of survival mode and instead has you thriving, meeting your goals, and feeling excited about your future again.

You’ve done therapy before. You understand your patterns, your history, and why you are the way you are—yet something still feels stuck. Insight alone hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for. Your mind keeps working overtime, analyzing and managing, while your body holds tension, emotion, and old survival responses that never quite settle. There’s a sense that healing lives somewhere deeper than words, and that thinking your way forward isn’t enough anymore.

You've spent decades showing up for everyone else. And now — somewhere in your 30s, 40s, or 50s — something has shifted. Your sleep is fractured. Emotions feel out of sync. Your focus slips in ways that scare you. Your sense of self feels blurry.
No one prepared you for this. Maybe doctors have told you it's "just stress" or "just aging." But what you're experiencing has a neurological explanation. Perimenopause and menopause change your brain, not just your body. That's not weakness. That's biology meeting an unsupported life transition.
