Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage difficult emotions, and build a life that feels more balanced and meaningful. I recognize that seeking support can be one of the hardest steps to take – I strive to make our space feel safe, nonjudgmental, and empower you to be your authentic self. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, end of life concerns, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or simply struggling to cope with life's demands. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Schedule a session when you’re ready.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in South Dakota, and I work exclusively via telehealth — which means I can see clients from anywhere in the state, whether you're in Sioux Falls, a reservation community, or a town with one stoplight. I have a background in school counseling, which means I understand how kids think, how families work, and how what happens at school follows everyone home. I work with people of all ages — from young children to seniors — including military families, new and expecting mothers, adults carrying old trauma, and anyone somewhere in the middle of a hard season. I tend to be warm but direct. I won't waste your time dancing around what's actually going on.

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.
I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

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?
I have over10 years' experience as a therapist and 15 in social work field. I offer person centered and strength focused care to meet individuals and families in their unique places in life. I happily see patients from 5-100+. I have a special place in my heart and practice for teens, young adults, and parents raising little humans.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Dakota
Searching for therapists in South Dakota starts with finding care that fits your needs and location. Available therapists and specialties can vary between urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for someone whose training matches what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship challenges. Reading each therapist’s bio can show you their areas of focus, therapy style, and experience with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, or a smaller community nearby. Some people prefer an in-person appointment close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session structure. A profile can also help you understand how a therapist communicates and what you might expect before booking.
The cost of mental health care in South Dakota varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
