My theoretical approach is solution focused, client centered, family systems, energy psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I joined Rising Hope Counseling in April 2019 as a clinical supervisor and then added the clinical therapist role in August 2020.

I have a great deal of experience working with families and individuals who are experiencing crises.

My survivor story of childhood abuse and trauma, the effects on my social, academic, mental, and emotional growth and well-being.

Community and family ideals prompted me to look into the field of social work and mental health.

I believe that everyone has a unique story that has shaped how they respond emotionally and physically.

I feel so blessed to be a part of the exceptional team at Rising Hope Counseling, LLC!

I grew up near the Iowa Great Lakes and resided there until 2019 when we moved to the Sioux Falls area.

I would like to start with introducing myself as the Rising Hope clinician in the new Aberdeen location.

I have always loved the resiliency, creativity, and determination that fills South Dakota.

Good old human resilience, something I ponder on every day.

I have 20 years of experience in providing mental health therapy in an outpatient setting.
