About me
I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Dakota. I have 11 years of experience . I provide both individual and couples counseling In working with addiction I believe that it is important to address not only the addiction, but the cause the addiction, as typically there is also a mental health disorder. In addition to working with addiction I also work with individuals with anxiety, depression, grief, self esteem, and anger management and trauma. I provide couples counseling, focusing on communication, conflict resolution, parenting and intimacy.
I am eclectic in my therapeutic approach, utilizing Client Centered Therapy, Reality/Choice Theory, Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and Acceptance Commitment Theory. My goal as a therapist is to find a therapeutic approach which the client and I feel will be the most beneficial.

There aren’t enough amazing things that I could say about Nancy. She is incredible. Nancy remembers every single detail I’ve ever said to her and that is so important for me because I feel heard and understood.

Nancy was dedicated, professional and engaged during our sessions. She had useful exercises and provided vital support when necessary. She can be candid and appropriately on point when needed and extremely understanding and non-judgmental. Competent counterpart when navigating an emotionally volatile terrain.
