I am an LCSW with licenses in Oklahoma and Montana. I have been practicing in different areas of therapy since 2014. Before that, my work has been a series of stepping stones to this field including working with at-risk youth in Juvenile Detention, Residential Behavioral Treatment, Child Welfare Department of DHS. Since completing graduate school with my MSW from the University of Oklahoma, I have worked with individuals, couples, and family counseling with children, adolescents, and adults, intake assessments and recommendations, medical social work, and working with children in partial hospitalization programs for intensive treatment. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, ODD, ADHD, family and parenting issues. I have worked in so many fields, both before becoming a therapist and after, that I have a lot of unique experiences to draw on to help clients navigate their emotions through different life situations. I am always eager to work with clients using the newest and best evidence-based treatment modalities. I use CBT and solution-focused therapy to help you reach the best possible outcome for you in any situation. I believe strongly in starting where you are in life and working on what you want to work on. I am skilled at helping you discover what you need to lead your best life.

30 years of experience

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from the University of Colorado in Denver in 1995 with a master’s degree in counseling psychology/counseling education. Since then, I have amassed over 30 years of experience seeing clients in a variety of settings. I have worked with high school students on their personal and professional development. At universities, I led workshops for non-traditional (older) students. I have developed teambuilding workshops for companies and provided career counseling for individuals. I have been invited to present personality type workshops to various community groups. I have worked for agencies and in private practice. More recently, I have worked with client’s in their homes, addressing the gamut of personal issues a person can face: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger issues, premarital/marital issues, suicide, addictions in the family, low self-esteem, family of origin issues, and others. I am currently licensed in the state of Oklahoma Early in my education, I was encouraged to develop my own style of counseling, and that is what I have done. I have many different theoretical techniques in my “counseling toolbox”: cognitive/thought oriented, behavioral oriented, past/present/and future oriented. I steer clear of typical “psychobabble,” but I am fond of a good analogy. I like to use humor, and I believe that we all can laugh at ourselves if we feel secure enough. Knowing that we are loved in spite of (or maybe even because of) our flaws can be quite encouraging. I will accept you, and your issues, because I know I have my share. In fact, I was once told that the difference between a therapist and a client is that a therapist is further along in sorting out their issues. The counseling setting for me can be similar to the old joke where a man loses his wallet on a dark street. Another man sees the first one searching around under a streetlight and asks if he can be of assistance. The first man explains that he has lost his wallet and would welcome any assistance. The two men comb the area thoroughly, looking everywhere to no avail. Finally the second man says to the first, “Are you sure you lost it here?” To which the first man replies, “No, I lost it down in that dark alley.” The second man says, “Well, Why are we looking here?!” The first man says, “Because the light is better here.” A good therapist can be a flashlight - helping you explore the darker areas of your life. But, don’t worry, we won’t go until you are ready. I look forward to searching with you.

I am licensed by the state of Oklahoma as a marriage and family therapist. I can help people in their families and in their relationships even with only one person doing the session. You would take home and share the insights and guidance as to what to do that would help. I work also with parents and caregivers of troubled children, including children on the Autism Spectrum. I have six recently published books available on Amazon related to these issues: The One Week Manager (working at home stress free), Those First Six Years (Developmental Psychology, skills children need to develop) a book on Marriage called The 7th Contract; Healing from Spiritual and Reglious Wounds; a workbook fo couples called Beyond the Vows; and a novel: The End of North America: a meteoroligist saves the world from doomsday. I have been doing therapy for 45 years, am a AAMFT Fellow, have worked with a tribe for six years in Oklahoma as the Indian Child Welfare Director. I listen to you, tell you what I think about it, make suggestions and recommendations. If that makes sense to you we would then make a plan of action that you believe is helpful. I have done a great deal of work with people wounded spiritually or by religion, and with single parents.

Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions.

  • Greater accessibility: Attend sessions from anywhere with an internet connection

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
