I have been a licensed professional therapist for 19 years I received my Masters degree from Oral Roberts University in 2008. I have vast experience with many behavioral, social and emotional issues. I started my career working with women who were victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. That transitioned into working with male victims and also perpetrators. This taught me how to help men with their emotional issues. Working in this field I came in contact many people who had substance abuse issues so I studied and pursued education and experience with alcohol and drug counseling. I worked in drug court and private substance abuse counseling for the last 9 years, In my practice I have gained experience helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, abandonment, PTSD, grief, attachment, shame and anger issues. My approach is client centered therapy incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion therapy and motivational therapy. I am a Christian. If my clients want spiritual help I will utilize Biblical counseling and prayer. If it will help my patients recover I will utilize it. People who contact counselors for help want to feel safe and respected never shamed or marginalized. I believe they want to be listened to and understood. I treat everyone with compassion . I am looking forward to working with you and helping you discover healthier mental health and a happier life.

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral, client-centered, humanistic, trauma-focused and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. A great therapeutic relationship established at the onset of meeting the client is vital to bring about the change expected, which is why finding a therapist that the client feels comfortable with is half the battle. I AM THAT THERAPIST. So, I strive to establish a great therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters a strong rapport, trust, unconditional positive regard, respect, dignity and compassion. As a non-judgmental and open-minded listener, I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity to multi/cross-cultural factors. I constantly remind myself that the basic core of therapy is about helping people get unstuck from recurring and distruptive emotional thoughts. When this is achieved, clients appreciate the importance of therapy. Above all, I love helping people and doing so gives me the great joy to keep impacting lives.

As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma for over 20 years, I have a systemic perspective on the issues clients bring to therapy. I understand that your difficulties exist in relationship to your larger circle of family, friends and colleagues. Clients appreciate this perspective because it seems like I “get it” differently than someone who doesn't view people systemically. Some of the specific struggles I treat are coping with all types of grief and loss (not just death), managing life transitions, anxiety/stress, caregiver issues, sleep struggles, communication, anger management, money/financial issues, self-esteem and experiencing compassion fatigue and burnout. A particular passion of mine is working with Third Culture Kids (TCKs), especially helping them transition to living in the United States. I have walked alongside TCKs and Adult TCKs for many years and have extensive experience in this therapeutic area.
