About
As one of South Dakota’s few registered art therapists (ATR), I am dually credentialed and prepared to address both mental health and chemical dependency issues. I enjoy working with creative adults, adolescents, and children using therapeutic discussion, meaningful art making, or both. I am trained in Internal Family Systems through the IFS Online Circle. I have also completed Phase 1 Brainspotting training to address a variety of mental health and trauma-related struggles. For me, the most rewarding parts of therapy are: guiding individuals through difficult emotions and experiences, discovering hidden creativity, and exploring how change can be possible. Throughout my 10+ years of experience in the mental health care field, I have seen how seeking support can be a dynamic and inspirational experience. As a part of my professional practice, I create a sensitive and safe environment for clients to be themselves, and share their story without judgement. Together, clients and I explore mental and physical health, motivation, and personal environment to create a lifestyle balance that is both achievable and sustainable.
