Female Therapists in Mitchell, SD

Life can be messy at times for all of us. We can get lost in the chaos and the changes that happen daily. What I can help you do is embrace the chaos, the messiness and learn to focus on the present day. I would love the opportunity to partner with you as you work through life's challenges and develop a new attitude. Have you ever considered that perhaps, you were created for a time like this?

When daily life is increasingly difficult to navigate, we can reach a point where we just stop seeing the joy in things. It can feel like it takes so much effort to complete simple tasks. During these times we may begin to wonder if we will ever feel any better. I'm here to assure you that you are not alone and you are not going to feel this way forever. I have worked in the counseling field for over 20 years, during which time I have helped people of all ages in a variety of settings. I am equipped with clinical experience, education and training to help you experience relief, increased insights, and peace of mind.

As a therapist, my journey is deeply rooted in personal transformation. Having navigated my own path of healing from childhood abuse, I understand the profound complexities of overcoming deep wounds and embracing self-love. My mission is to provide a sanctuary where families can embark on their healing journey, unveiling buried pains to foster compassion and prosperity. My professional background extends beyond therapy, having spent a decade as a lawyer working with unhealthy family cycles. This experience, among others, fueled my passion for guiding families away from negative cycles toward empowerment and positive change.

I am now accepting new clients. My goal is to help people feel better and find the best version of themselves. Life is not easy and unfortunately, most of us have been afflicted in some way. Often, this affliction is a blindside; we don't see it coming. Life challenges is all encompassing, it maybe related to neglect/abuse, domestic/violent relationships, major life losses, grief, discrimination, abandonment, drug/alcohol use etc. this list is endless; which is sad. It's disheartening to think of all hurtful/harmful things that are reality in today's world. I want you to know that you don't have to figure everything out alone.

I believe success in therapy is linked to the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance with clients. I achieve this relationship through a non-judgmental, gentle demeanor, and compassionate approach. My passion is working with people who may feel overlooked, forgotten, or left out. I love working with a variety of clients through the lifespan; with those needing support, help finding life purpose, and strengthening communication and relationships. I am also passionate about serving Autistic individuals, parents who have children with disabilities, adolescents, and navigating and managing positive coping skills.
