From a young age, I’ve been deeply empathetic—drawn to people’s stories and attuned to their pain. What once felt like a tender personality trait has become a guiding force in my work. I believe every person holds inherent dignity and worth, regardless of their experiences, choices, or circumstances. This belief is the foundation of how I show up as a therapist: with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My journey into the counseling field was encouraged by my husband, who saw how naturally I connected with others. I completed my undergraduate degree in Marketing at East Central University and went on to earn a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma. I am currently pursuing an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Marriage and Family Counseling. I specialize in couples therapy, supporting partners as they navigate challenges with communication, trust, intimacy, and emotional connection. Whether you're feeling stuck, hurting, or simply wanting to grow closer, I offer a space where both individuals can feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach focuses on helping couples build deeper understanding, develop practical tools, and reconnect with what matters most to them. In every session—whether with individuals or couples—my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I hold healing in a sacred light, but I also appreciate the value of humor. Being able to feel free in therapy—even when facing pain—is the heart of Eremos. It’s brave to come, but many clients find it’s also a place to enjoy. Outside the therapy room, I love being married and am grateful for the fullness of life with our five children. These days, you’ll likely find me enjoying a good thriller TV series over a movie—especially if it’s a whodunit. I’d love to say I grow my own food and live in the outdoors, but let’s be honest—my life is mostly made up of ordinary moments, full hands, and small, sacred acts of courage. Reality for me isn’t glamorous, but it’s good. And it’s in the everyday that growth, connection, and healing often begin.

Find a therapist near you in Clinton, Oklahoma

Finding a therapist near you in Clinton, Oklahoma starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Oklahoma is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Oklahoma, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Oklahoma, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Oklahoma

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Oklahoma, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
