About me

As a licensed therapist in Oklahoma, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges with compassion and expertise. My practice focuses on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those experiencing stress, anxiety, and relationship dynamics.

I bring deep understanding to issues surrounding self-love, communication challenges, social anxiety, and personal growth. My approach centers on helping clients explore their unique experiences, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate greater emotional resilience.

With extensive experience supporting diverse populations, I'm committed to addressing a wide range of concerns—from workplace stress and life transitions to identity exploration and interpersonal relationships. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering non-judgmental guidance that honors individual strengths and experiences.

My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and personalized support. I'm dedicated to walking alongside clients as they navigate their most challenging moments and discover pathways toward healing and self-understanding.

Brian has been a great listener so far I’ve only had two sessions with him. But he has really been there for me in the last couple of weeks via chat. And has provided me with some resources and worksheets that have gave me great tips.
