As a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in South Dakota, I am dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages as they navigate mental health concerns, addiction, life transitions,and barriers to independence or well-being. I provide individualized, person-centered therapy focused on building coping skills, strengthening emotional wellness, and help clients work toward meaningful goals.
My work also includes case management, community outreach, advocacy, and resource coordination, allowing me to provide comprehensive support that extends beyond the therapy setting. I believe meaningful change begins with compassion, connection, and recognizing the strengths within each person. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward.
