Park Counseling Welcomes You

Have a particular life obstacle you or your child are trying to overcome? Sometimes seeking help from a therapist is the best way to put things into perspective. Your well-being and mental strength are my priority. I’m dedicated to guiding you through life’s challenges with the attention, care, and thoughtfulness you deserve.

A Bit About Therapy

Personalized Attention for You and Your Family

I implement effective therapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill. Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and dedication. In the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a diagnosis I see frequently when working with all ages. Trauma (primarily threats to one’s life or safety, or proximity to threats to another, as well as sexual violence) impacts each person differently. https://www.parkcounselingsd.com/post/how-to-treat-ptsd

How to Treat PTSD


A strong correlation exists between good sleep and mental health. Adapting our lifestyle to prioritize sleep can lead to lessened anxiety and depression and better focus and performance at work and in school. https://www.parkcounselingsd.com/post/better-sleep

Better Sleep for Better Mental Health


Sometimes we get caught off-guard with anxiety. Symptoms may "attack" when we are speaking to others, driving, at the doctor's, or are triggered by what some may find innocuous (snakes! heights! an email with no subject!). While anxiety is common, sudden symptoms such as a racing heart, dizziness/vertigo, nausea, and a feeling of physical and mental disorientation can be unnerving and scary for many. https://www.parkcounselingsd.com/post/stop-and-smell-the-roses-calming-anxiety-with-breathing-and-grounding
