Introduction

I believe therapy should be more than just talking about your struggles. While understanding your experiences is important, I also believe meaningful change happens when we address the emotional patterns and experiences that keep you feeling stuck. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and have been providing mental health therapy since 2018. I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an approach that helps individuals process distressing experiences, reduce emotional distress, and move forward without having to talk extensively about painful memories. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel safe, understood, and empowered. I recognize that everyone's experiences are unique, and I believe therapy should reflect your individual needs and goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you find relief, gain a greater sense of control, and create meaningful change in your life.
