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!
