About me

I am a professional counselor licensed in South Dakota. I have over 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients ranging in age from 3 to 85 and have assisted clients as they work on their concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, relationship issues, loss and grief, and addiction.

Years ago, I became a fan of the superhero, Spider-Man. His guiding philosophy is “With great power comes great responsibility.” I adhere to this philosophy in counseling. I treat others with respect and compassion. I understand the journey of counseling can be daunting, especially as the journey begins. I view my role as being collaborative as we identify where you’d like to go. I believe it is important that everyone have an environment where they can feel safe and supported. My approach combines client-centered and cognitive-behavioral counseling.

If you are ready to start your journey I am here to walk with you.

I look forward to working with you.

Cory is a compassionate and caring therapist. He is amazing at making me feel safe to express myself and articulate the areas I want to improve. He is not judgemental and he helps me find words to explain my thoughts and goals. He gives me peices to help me slowly address areas I want to improve on. I am very grateful for the experience I have had with Cory.

It's so easy to share with Cory what's been happening - good or bad. He's great at helping me recognize what small changes I CAN make.

Cory is professional, supportive and helpful! He listens to everything and never gets judgemental or dismissive. He will take anything you have to say with kindness and patience. I look forward to therapy, it feels like the safest place at the moment. I would recommend Cory in a heartbeat!
