Hello! Life can be a roller-coaster of emotions and events and we are not always equipped with the needed coping skills or knowledge to navigate them. That's when we turn to someone with experience to give us the tools and resources to manage life's challenges. The one characteristic to look for in a therapist is their willingness and ability to hear your point of view and speak to your perspective. Years of experience with individuals and families have provided me with the knowledge and ability to "get YOU" and work with you to help you manage big and small challenges. Primarily, I use a Cognitive-Behavioral approach to therapy with a huge helping of Positive Psychology underpinnings.
I returned to school (University of Kentucky) in my thirties while raising my children after having a career as a schoolteacher. My life experience adds to my ability to give more in-depth appreciation to the challenges you are facing.
I look forward to talking with you.

I have had several therapists and Dr. Okoon has been the most helpful by far. Immediately, I felt like I could tell her anything without an ounce of judgment. She gave me useful action items as well as just being someone to talk to. Would highly recommend her!

Very comfortable talking with her. Helped me to understand that my husband has multiple issues that are not my fault. Helped me to focus on me for now.

Dr. Okoon's wisdom and expertise have been absolutely invaluable to me. Going through a divorce during a pandemic seemed next to impossible, until I started seeing Dr. Okoon. I lacked the confidence to ask for the things I needed to be fulfilled and I've lived with massive guilt for as long as I can remember. Now; I'm discovering so much about myself, what makes me happy, and how to let go of things which no longer serve me. Including that guilt! She is one of the very few people in my life who have truly make me feel heard and seen. I would, without a doubt, recommend her services to anyone.
