I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oklahoma. I have provided therapy for a diverse population of clients over the past nine years. I worked within the court system for three years where I was able to aid people in their recovery process while dealing with life changes and any mental health issues. The last five years I have worked with families to provide a better quality of life in spite of mental health or disparaging circumstances. I have experience with depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, addiction and trauma.
I pride myself on being judgement free and providing an atmosphere which is open and safe. My therapeutic approach is conversational, solution-focused and holistic. We will focus on behaviors which are counter productive to desired results and I will aid the you in finding prosocial activities which can promote healthier habits leading to a better life. I will allow you to be the expert of your life while providing support and helping to maintain focus on the goals we determine you would like to meet during the therapeutic relationship.
I look forward to being a part of your journey to becoming your best self!!!

Rutanya is down to earth and meets me where I am. It’s evident that she has life experience, not just an academic understanding of the concept of therapy. She sets maintainable goals and provides realistic suggestions to complicated problems. She’s a real person who provides practical guidance.

Rutanya has been great.

Written on Jan 16, 2024 after therapy with Rutanya for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and anger management
Rutanya is incredible at listening and, most importantly, processing what I tell her and applying it to previous conversations or other scenarios that I have brought up. She has solutions but does not come off as pushy or overbearing; it always comes from a thoughtful place.

Written on Feb 16, 2023 after therapy with Rutanya for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
Rutanya was with me as I went through one of the most challenging times in my life. What I appreciate the most about Rutanya is her ability to hear me and provide me with actionable goals that I could achieve. I do not connect with therapists who drown me with pity and sympathy; I'm very aware that what I've been through is tough, sad, awful, traumatizing etc. What I looked for in a therapist were direction and action; Rutanya was able to do this while being empathetic/sympathetic in an appropriate way. I highly recommend Rutanya.

Rutanya is very easy to talk to! :) I find her to be very supportive and the variety of tools she’s suggested to me are helpful— for example I’ve never tried writing down affirmations before, I’ve started doing this and can already see how helpful this tool will become once it’s part of my regular routine. I enjoy our sessions and having that support there when I need it :)
