About Us

  • Co-Founder

    I am a Licensed Social Worker based in Watertown, SD, who approaches therapy from a relational, collaborative, and strength-based perspective. I have extensive experience working with adults, children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and challenges in adjusting to recent life changes. I value the therapeutic relationship and focus on the resiliency of the client to create a firm foundation on which to achieve change. I find great worth in aiding the client to find their OWN voice to promote healing and wellness.

    As a trauma therapist, I utilize EMDR, Brainspotting techniques to address complex trauma as well as collective, and generational trauma as it impacts the individual. In my practice, I use a balanced approach of empirically validated treatment. I am working on being a registered play therapist to increase my ability to help kids.

    The first step to reaching out can be scary, but if you are ready to work towards positive change, please make contact with me. Together, we will identify issues and develop a plan to get you on the road to increased life satisfaction. I look forward to hearing from you!

    I am an LPC in the State of South Dakota and Michigan.

    My aim is to work with clients who struggle with feeling disconnected from themselves, others, and are anxious, overwhelmed, 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
