Therapists Beginning With J in North Dakota

Are you a highly driven person with a plate that’s always overloaded? If you answered…“all the freakin’ time.” Then you’re in the right place, Welcome! To those around you, you appear very much together. Meanwhile, on the inside, you feel like you’re having multiple silent panic attacks. Anxiety pops up over everyday things, mistakes you’ve made, circumstances that don’t go according to plan, or an unexpected event that adds more to your plate. You’re dodging anxiety bombs of varying sizes and when they do go off, it leaves you feeling an overstimulated mess.

I specialize in providing support to individuals who are dedicated to improving their relationships and overall well-being. My practice involves working with adults, adolescents, and children of all ages who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. I aim to customize sessions to meet the specific needs of each client by using various techniques that can help address trauma in individuals and within parent/child relationships, as well as methods that focus on improving relationships between parents and young children.

OCD is highly treatable. If you're struggling with OCD, you don't have to do it alone. Getting started is the hardest part, but by leaning into the process, you can accomplish things you've only imagined. As a therapist, I'm collaborative: I’m here with you on the journey, but you are in control. I can offer warmth and support when needed, and I'll challenge you when necessary. At NOCD, my team and I provide personalized and effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of these conditions enables us to treat them properly.

Anxiety is like a fingerprint. Each person is unique. Some people worry a lot about a bunch of things, others have obsessive or sticky thoughts about certain things, and some people fear very specific things like flying or social embarrassment. Others may struggle with body or somatic concerns - like fear of cancer or fear that if they stop monitoring their breath they may stop breathing. Some people fear losing people while others fear being around people! Frankly, fear and anxiety are so personal. Aspects of effective counseling are going to be different, depending on your anxiety patterns.

Making the decision to go beyond your present stress or challenge is the first step. Finding the right support is the next. I believe we all have great potentials that stress can derail. When this happens, we experience symptoms. Trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions and physical reactions to stress are common concerns for many. I will work with you to develop the best strategies and create your own toolbox to live your best life; to go beyond the challenges in your life, find new paths and transform old patterns.

If you are feeling stuck in unhappiness, overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life, or have been carrying a burden for too long, you are not alone. Therapy can help you heal from the past, feel more connected to the people around you, stop unwanted thoughts and find more enjoyment in your life. I help people overcome their past to be able to build better relationships, find their drive and live a more satisfied life.

I am the sole provider at Better Boundaries Counseling. I am so glad you're here. I have been a licensed counselor for the past 10 years and have had the privilege of working in many diverse settings throughout my career (psychiatric hospital, tribal college, juvenile corrections, and private practice). My favorite thing about the counseling process is meeting a new client for the first time as that is where the work begins. It provides an opportunity for us to get to know each other and ensure it is a mutually good fit. I aim to be authentic, honest, kind, and welcoming with my clients.Forming a strong relationship is my priority

I believe therapy is for everyone and that it can address anything; there is no topic off the table! I specialize in trauma, substance use, and sexuality.

I enjoy working with women experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, including trauma-related disorders, and women experiencing emotional health concerns in the context of chronic health conditions. I am also a strong advocate for those experiencing neurodiversity (ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder). I specialize in helping individuals identify the specific nature of their concerns, including differential diagnostic assessment and inclusion of psychological testing, if appropriate. Clearly identifying these concerns leads to improved outcomes, helping individuals grow in a way that is meaningful to them.
