Male Therapists in South Dakota

Journeying with people in unbecoming to become. The journey forward is inward. I love hearing stories and helping people become more self-aware and empowered to live fully. Learning how to live in peace. I work with teens, young adults, and adults, especially those challenged with attachment issues, addiction, relational trauma, anxiety, personality issues, and leaders. I have completed my PhD in Development Psychology, specializing in leadership and organizational development at Walden University.

Welcome! I have immediate availability. I'm a licensed mental health counselor at MK Counseling in Sioux Falls, SD. I've been practicing for approximately eight years and love what I do. My approach involves using clinically researched methods to help clients make meaningful life changes and find workable strategies for dealing with their thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, there's no magic involved in the counseling process, and making changes takes effort from both of us and a willingness to try something new. I'm committed to putting in the effort, tracking our progress, and building collaborative relationships with my clients.

Our lives can often feel like someone else is reading a choose-your-own-adventure book, with each turn of the page dictated by external forces. Have you felt this way? Stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Perhaps anxiety, major life transitions, family stress, or boundary issues have left you seeking support. You’re not alone, and I’m here to help guide you to reclaim your agency and responsibility, empowering you to choose your story with intention and purpose.

I am committed to providing a safe and confidential place where we can explore your challenges together, finding hope for the future. My goal is to help you uncover the places where you may be stuck individually or in relationship with others and then help you explore new paths to a more fulfilling life.

I can help you with depression, anxiety, feelings of poor self-worth or problems with communication and commitment in personal relationships. You can get off the treadmill of intense and self-defeating interactions with co-workers and intimate partners. I can also help if you have trouble concentrating, staying focused on a task, or being hyperactive and feeling "scattered." If you are a spiritual seeker, I can provide a thoughtful and informed perspective on meaning and direction in life.

I work with adults and couples who are facing painful impasses in their lives. When we encounter overwhelming problems that seem irresolvable, we may feel that life as we know it is over. And in fact, it is. The feeling that our life has become unlivable is a sign that we are ready to transcend our current way of living and pursue a richer one, marked by greater authenticity and love. This sort of self-transcendence is a possibility for anyone willing to listen to the call, including those who have an interest in practicing therapy in continuity with their religious faith.

Do you often have more questions than answers, feeling lost or overwhelmed? Are sadness, anxiety, anger, shame, grief, or guilt preventing you from accomplishing even the simplest tasks? You might be coping in harmful ways, just to feel something—or to feel nothing at all. Or perhaps you're seeking to rediscover yourself amidst a significant life transition like retirement, graduation, divorce, marriage, or starting a new job.

With 10+ yrs. as a licensed therapist and 15+ yrs. working in the human services field, I have assisted many individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I have extensive experience working in a variety of settings. Settings have included private practice, non-profit organizations, in-home therapy, therapeutic group homes, and juvenile & adult detention centers. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness in which a healthy mind, body, and soul lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. I look to strengthen the core of each individual and couple to be able to strive, not just survive, through difficult moments.

Are you tired of feeling helpless? Do you want to take control of your symptoms? I believe everyone is doing the best they can! I help people find their inner strength by providing tools they need to take control and understand their symptoms. By taking control a person is able to understand their experiences and plan for a better tomorrow.

Potential clients struggling with depression and anxiety, difficulty with traumatic events, and those who are having marital/premarital problems all have one common denominator which is the relationships that surround them. Symptoms such as these are just that; a symptom. The problem's root lies within the system of relationships that surround them. I intend to help you to understand these issues and how they become problems, and to provide a safe, therapeutic environment to discuss them in detail.

My love and passion is working with military and veterans communities providing readjustment counseling for those dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and marriage & family issues. I’m a combat veteran myself and empathize with the military community.

I feel a "calling" to help adults and teens through counseling! I offer clients deep compassion, unconditional acceptance, and understanding. Often we believe the worst about ourselves! We lose sight of our own value, our own beauty, and self worth. We become depressed or constantly anxious, feel lost, maybe even broken on the inside. But, counseling can change that! I provide a safe environment that is consistently supportive, empathetic, and empowering! I will help you see yourself anew, grieve your losses, face your fears, and help you locate your deep self and reconnect to your life's purpose. A natural joy will follow!

Like a skilled artisan, I am drawn to sculpting new narratives from the raw material of life's challenges. My passion lies in guiding individuals, ages 18 and above, through the complex labyrinths of anxiety and trauma. If you feel stuck, or lost, or simply worthless, I want to help you take back the control of the story of your life by helping you work through the expectations and pressures that have separated you from who you have always wanted to be. Together, we'll transform painful stories into masterpieces of resilience, crafting a path towards a more fulfilling and empowering existence.

I specialize in working with clients seeking to better understand themselves and foster deeper connections in their relationships. Many of my clients find themselves excelling at many areas of their life while still feeling alone, discontent, and disconnected. This can lead to destructive behaviors as well as depression, anxiety, and addiction.
