Hello! I am an enthusiastic, licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma, whose worked in mental health for more than 5 years. My experiences include working with diverse individuals across the lifespan and on a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns such as, depression and anxiety, grief/loss, work and career issues, trauma, and beyond. I understand that there is still a stigma about seeking help from a professional source and even a bit of trepidation to admit you want or need help. My style to counseling is laid back and warm; one that is non-judgmental and one that meets you where you are. I work to create a space where you feel heard and experience unconditional, positive regard and genuineness. My approach is an application of techniques from a variety of theoretical perspectives to aid you in reaching your goals. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed and not yourself and experiencing symptoms of anxiety/depression, unhappy in your career, or just struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy, you are not alone and being right here, right now is a great first step to having the resolve you desire. I am passionate about helping others on their journey to a more fulfilled, healthy and whole self. I count it a blessing and honor to be able to partner with you on your journey through life and look forward to working with you soon!

I am a licensed professional therapist currently based in Texas. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a certificate in Trauma Therapy. My experience includes working with couples, families, college students, and children from age 8-teens. I provide premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy. I have worked with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, adoption issues, and adjustment disorders. My therapy style involves understanding the client from their point of view. I work from a holistic view, believing all systems of the body; physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, help in the healing process. I especially love emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy, but include other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems. I have been trained in EMDR and have found it can be utilized in many areas, but especially with trauma. Before becoming a therapist I worked as an RN for 20 years, graduating with my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Thirteen of those years were as a hospice nurse, so end of life care and grief counseling has been a big part of my life. I incorporate my medical background in the therapy process. I want to hear your story and look forward to working with you!
