Christian Counseling Therapists in Sioux Falls, SD

It is a gift to listen and lean in to each of my client’s unique stories as we navigate the difficulties and joys of life. Working with individuals, couples, and families, I seek to offer an accepting, warm, and encouraging space where people learn about, and understand themselves, in light of the world around them. Though I primarily work with teens and families, I do enjoy working with adults and couples as well. I especially enjoy counseling those who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, Christian/spiritual difficulties, and behavioral issues.

Are you having a conflict with your mental health or faith? Do you struggle to stay satisfied in your marriage or content with your career? Is it difficult to stay motivated, feel happy, or be comfortable with your body image? Did someone important in your life leave or pass away? Maybe you already have a strong community to speak with, but you fear what they may think if you really opened up. These are common thoughts and feelings addressed in our time together. You are not alone. I am licensed in BOTH South Dakota & Iowa!

There is grace and understanding for those who are suffering and trying to better themselves. We are all human and we all will experience a level of suffering. I will meet you where you are at in your journey of life and we will work through it together.

Stuck? Alone? Why do I do the things I don't want to do, and don't do the things I want to do? Struggling to trust or feel worthy of love? Failed attempts to connect on repeat and overwhelming you?

Life's detours- those moments, relationships, illnesses, or situations that are different somehow than you expected- can bring you to a place of overwhelm, frustration, worry, hopelessness, or despair. When what you have done in the past to cope is no longer helping, it may be time to reach out. What would it look like for you to be restored, renewed, and refreshed- to have vitality in life again- amidst these challenges?

You were created to grow, thrive, and live an abundant life. However, we are sometimes faced with difficult circumstances in life; which explains why we are tempted to find ways to avoid, check out and numb our emotions. My passion is in helping you unpack and sort through the challenges you are facing; whether it’s regarding a past experience, your everyday life, fears about the future or something more devastating.

This anxiety is relentless. It’s been going on for so long that you can’t remember what life is like without it. You have two modes – anxious and extremely anxious. It blows you away to hear people say you have it together, because you know you don’t. Somehow, you’re pulling off life and looking successful, but on the inside you’re a wreck. The thoughts about all the ways you’re not good enough never let up. The anxiety and critical voices are what keep you from failing, right? They won’t allow you to slack off, to relax, to stop worrying. It’s beginning to take a toll on your relationships, your physical health, and on your life.
