Therapists in South Dakota

I consider it a privilege to be able to come along side an individual or couple in their journey towards healing. As a therapist, I value creating and holding a nonjudgemental, confidential and safe space to allow for healing and growth. There are many reasons someone might seek therapy. Therapy can help navigate life transitions, treat mental health concerns, address trauma and be a place of support. I believe that expanding self awareness through personal reflection can increase self agency, confidence and relational satisfaction.

I provide virtual telehealth therapy services for all ages from 13-100 years. Not here to judge, but to offer support and acceptance. I welcome all types of people to counseling. Come as you are! I will accept any and all issues! I enjoy getting to know you in a genuine way. I will help you to sort through life's challenges weather it is family, personal, faith, relationships, identity, grief, mood, self esteem, confidence, depression, anxiety or anything else.

I am a licensed mental health therapist. I work primarily with adolescents and adults, using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address emotions and ineffective thoughts. I support my clients to gain a deeper awareness and acceptance of themselves. As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I journey with my clients as they gain self awareness of their body, mind and spirit.

I work with teens, individuals, and couples who have anxiety or depression, have been through trauma, are experiencing a struggle in their relationships or marriage, are trying to decide whether to stay in their marriage, suffer with alcohol or drug issues, have experienced infidelity in their relationship, or struggles in their careers. My approach comes from advanced training in evidenced based, scientifically proven treatment that I have gained over several decades. I love meeting my clients, exploring where they want to be and watching them grow.

“Therapy is about understanding the self that you are. But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself – to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.” Lori Gottlieb. The foundation of this quote is the support and guidance I want to provide to each person that walks through my doors.

I have provided mental health services for over 9+ years to adults, couples, and 16+ who are struggling with mental health issues. I guide people in their healing of trauma including complex trauma, dissociative issues, depression, anxiety, grief, psychotic spectrum, and personality disorders. I will create a safe space of honesty and empathy. I will guide you to strengthen self-trust and empower yourself to solve issues within all your relationships, inside and outside of therapy. I believe that our minds and bodies are connected through thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

If you are trying to manage getting through a traumatic experience, riding the wave of up and down emotions, having relationship conflicts, or just need some assistance with life planning I can help provide direction and healing. I have been trained and enjoy using expertise in areas such as dialectical behavior therapy to assist with emotional regulation, increasing connection to the present moment, managing interpersonal relationships, and getting through crisis situations. I also enjoy using the modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing) to work on reducing emotions and behaviors related to past trauma.

I'm so happy you are here and am proud of you for taking the first step in your journey of choosing a therapist. I know this can be a scary experience and I am here to tell you that you do not have to go through this process alone. My goal is to work alongside you to help you to recognize the importance of embracing grace for yourself. Once you give yourself the grace to acknowledge your feelings, the tough times you are going through, the past experiences that have shaped you, the stressors you are experiencing and more; we are able to begin to heal and grow. Whatever you are feeling, those feelings are valid.

Tired of pretending everything is ok? All the while, you're in your own private battle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or grief. Life stress is inevitable. However, lack of support and distress tolerance skills can make managing life's stressors nearly impossible. It's exhausting keeping on that mask. How are you really though? Luckily, I come offering knowledge, tools, and support to get you back on the right track. My therapy style is real, relatable, and empathetic. I strive for openness and collaboration, so treatment is based on your needs and goals. It's your life, let's get you living it the way you want.
