Therapists in North Dakota

Are you looking to explore your sexuality or improve sexual satisfaction? Do you experience pain with sex or sexual dysfunction? Struggling to develop or maintain intimacy? Find yourself questioning your gender and/or sexual identity? These questions and so many more are common and can be explored in sex therapy! I am a sex positive therapist who believes addressing our sexual health is an integral part of treating the whole person. I help adult individuals and couples in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships navigate the sexual health challenges and difficulties that occur in our lives.

I want you to imagine leaving your home in the morning, navigating the busy roads to work. You’re tired, barely focused and dreading the day ahead. You pull into the parking lot of your employer, taking a deep breath. You grab your work things and walk towards the office. You stop, frozen in the sea of mental waves, a thousand thoughts crashing into one another, unable to organize them. Everything stops for a moment, a beacon of clarity forms in the distance and you’re able to hear one calm thought. You ask yourself “am I on the right path?”

I am passionate about providing person-centered, individualized therapy services. I have experience specializing in mental health therapy, expressive therapy, play therapy, and family therapy services for children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing life, family, and relationship stressors; adjustment issues; stage of life changes; or who have complex behavioral health needs. I am an affirming therapist with specialized training and experience providing therapy services for individuals of all ages and abilities including individuals with physical limitations, developmental/cognitive challenges, and gender diversity.

Hello! I would be honored to meet with you. Often, clients come to find healthy ways of coping with stress, anxiety, depression & to process thoughts & feelings in a supportive environment. They are frequently interested in improving relationships, leaving abusive partners, experiencing more happiness and fulfillment in life, & attaining meaningful goals. As each person is an individual, therapy is tailored to your unique needs and wants. I provide therapy to individuals & couples. Clients often say I'm easy to talk to, compassionate, and accepting. I hope you will agree. My office is in my home which offers comfort and privacy.

Are you ready to take the step to enter therapy, but hesitant to do so? If you're reading this, I am proud of you, because looking for a therapist and scheduling your first visit is often one of the most challenging hurdles! My approach as a therapist is meeting you where you are at and help you feel comfortable and safe to open up. I strive to assist individuals feel validated, heard, and empowered to make change. I work with adults and couples on a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, grief, self-esteem issues, and relational stressors.

I take an inviting approach to counseling, and collaborate with my clients in their healing. I believe people to be resilient, and know that we all get “stuck” sometimes. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and resources to get “unstuck” and move toward thriving in their lives. I see individuals from all walks of life struggling with a variety of stressors from depression, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, burnout/resilience, relationship strain, to any other issue that could be a road block to living a fulfilling life.

My overall focus is on helping women be well--physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially. My areas of focus include: trauma, depression, anxiety, work-life balance, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I gravitate towards Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic therapies in my clinical work. I primarily serve clients individually; however, I am experienced in offering couple's and group therapy. I am passionate about working with those experiencing PTSD and helping improve their quality of life. In addition to seeing clients I provide supervision for ND and MN counselors seeking their LPCCs.

My goal as your counselor is to help form and maintain a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. It is important for my client's to know that their story matters and that I am here alongside them to help them heal and grow. I do this by using a number of evidenced based approaches such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, MI, RCT, and person-centered therapy. I also love to incorporate art into my therapy sessions. Lets get creative!

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship & unsure of what to do? Have you been hurt by infidelity, or feel like you and your partner are growing apart? Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, lost or broken? Are worries constantly running through your head & you just can’t “turn it off”? Life is full of difficult transitions. Relationships end, children leave the nest, jobs are lost, important people in our lives pass away. It can leave you with just enough energy to put on a brave face and “fake” it through the day. But what if life could be different?

Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They have lost the meaning and magic of life. Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.

Are you experiencing symptoms associated with depression, stress, anxiety, or panic? Do you want to take your life back after a traumatic experience? Are you experiencing the struggles of being in a relationship with someone who has a difficult, high conflict, antagonistic personality style? I strive to guide my clients through their life situations in a manner that leads to a better understanding of themselves and others. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental setting in which we can work collaboratively to help you reach your goals.

Congratulations on taking that first step towards building the life you want! Whether it is depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction or any number of the countless things that keep us from living our best lives, searching for someone to help partner with you on that journey towards healing is an important first step. I know it can be overwhelming to find a provider; there are so many choices, and if you have never been in counseling before, you don't know what to expect, what to ask, or even what to look for to help you find that person that can help you become "you" again. Relax...you're here...and that's an awesome start!

I am passionate about providing mental healthcare to those in need. I provide services to families, couples, polycules, and individuals. I have special interests in the neurodiverse, LGBTQIA2S+, and ENM communities. I offer treatment that is tailored to the needs of each client or client system. I am supervised by Patrick Hart, LPCC-S (ND License 7978114246) and Dr. George Pate, PhD, LMFT-S, LPC-S, ICADC, ADC-III (Tx LMFT License 4054).

There are many reasons why you may have decided to look for a therapist. Maybe you are hitting a tough spot in you life, your relationships are struggling, you have decided to address traumatic experiences, or you are just not sure where you want to be in life. In my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families facing these and many other concerns. I regard therapy as a collaboration; not a one-size-fits-all formula. I work to provide space for your unique experience and seek to find what works for you.

I help couples in conflict and those who want to develop their relationship into a stronger alliance. Conflict affects us all in many ways. Mostly, I work with individuals, couples and groups to understand the impact of confusion, upset and misunderstanding on our relationships. Sometimes depression and anxiety are overwhelming and that causes lots of problems in our ability to make our life work. I hear from clients that they felt better after our session because they were able to talk through a problem and understand the situation better.

I believe individuals who want to overcome mental health struggles CAN make a change! There is always trial and error, and steps forward and back, but when the client and the therapist are committed to the process, the results can transform lives. Regardless of the struggle they're facing, I try to be honest and open with my clients and to foster an environment in which they feel safe to be open as well. Maintaining open communication and building trust helps ensure the client's therapeutic needs are being met.

I am here to walk by your side through a journey that is yours-to follow the path you have chosen. You are the expert, and know which direction to follow. For the most therapeutic journey, it is important to find a therapist whose personality and therapy style is a good fit for you and your needs. I have a direct, but empathetic communication style. I love helping adolescents, adults, and couples in need of working through communication issues, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, issues with intimacy, setting boundaries, and trauma.

I have experience working with people from all walks of life. I enjoy working with adults and couples, typically with issues of anxiety, depression, communication, life transitions, personal growth, relational conflict, self-esteem, sexual difficulties, societal oppression/equity, and trauma. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, am LGBTQIA+ affirming, am culturally competent and keep up to date (and then some) with all required continuing education credits.
