I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of South Dakota and Michigan. I am also an LPC-MH Supervisee (SD has a 2 tier licensing requirement). My aim is to work with clients who struggle with feeling disconnected from themselves, others, are anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage all the aspects of their lives. When we push our needs aside to without taking time for yourself, this can lead to frustration, resentment, anxiety, depression and stress. I work with you to be able to resolve the barriers that are keeping you from living a full and meaningful life. I am certified and specialize in trauma, personality disorders (CCTP-II and C-PD), and specialize in attachment issues (both children and adults). I also treat mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger/impulse control, grief & loss, adoption and relationship issues. I primarily utilize CBT, DBT-informed, EMDR, Play Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy with all individuals, and tend to approach what I do from an Existential, Psychodynamic and Person-Centered way. Navigating through issues on your own can be difficult and overwhelming. It helps to have someone that understands your struggle, and walk with you on your path of recovery.

When we work together, my biggest goal is for you to feel truly heard, completely seen, and totally understood. I'm all about creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, no judgment, just real talk. Because, you know, life's heavy sometimes, right? And navigating it takes courage. A lot of what we go through as adults, especially in our relationships and how we feel about ourselves, actually goes all the way back to our "inner child." That's the younger part of you still holding onto some of those early experiences – maybe where love felt a little scarce, or where you felt alone, or perhaps not quite good enough. And sometimes, that "inner child" puts on a "monster suit" or a "big outer shell" to protect itself from more hurt. We'll get into all that! So, in our sessions, we won't just skim the surface. We'll go deep, figuring out why your "inner child" might be getting triggered, and how those early attachments are playing out in your life right now. We'll connect the dots, unraveling those patterns that keep you stuck, whether it's in your relationships, trying to find your own identity, or dealing with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. Understanding your own inner world is key to showing up more authentically in all your connections. I'm here to give you those insights, those "aha!" moments, and the practical tools to finally break those cycles. We'll use straightforward language, and yes, sometimes a good metaphor or analogy to really make things click. You're strong, you're capable, and you deserve a life filled with authentic connection and peace. If you're ready to really dig in, understand the roots of your feelings, and build something new and more fulfilling for yourself, I'm ready to walk that journey with you. Warmly,
