My background is fairly broad having lived in a number of states in the United States and abroad. I have a positive regard for many cultures having lived abroad as well, recognizing that diversity is a part of the world we live in now and our many cultures create a mosaic of life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed in the state of Oklahoma and Colorado. I have a Masters degree in Counseling. My career has included work with families and youth, individuals and couples along with those struggling with serious mental health issues as well as leading organizations and dealing in this capacity with personnel and ways to lead staff and motivate leadership in these settings always striving for positive outcomes. I have had training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy, and have been a counselor for 20 plus years. I am typically eclectic when working with individuals and families, as well as couples and youth. It is my belief that you can use a socratic approach of questioning and exploring, and challenging gently when working with survivors of trauma, when exploring misconceptions, as well as challenging belief patterns that may be challenging to the day to day coping that we need to have. I believe that we can also explore our patterns of functioning and adapt adding new skills and patterns, traditions and celebrations for example, to place ourselves in a better place to thrive, not only survive in this experience we call life. We have the honor as counselors to travel with you and those you care about on your journey briefly, and this we do with the utmost respect for who you are and for how you wish to see yourself and your family and loved ones succeed and overcome the current challenges you are facing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing in Oklahoma for nearly two decades. I have spent the last several years specializing in the treatment of interpersonal trauma and have a real passion for working with individuals who are considered "the walking wounded" as so many have the experience of having a childhood they need to heal from. I have been in the field since 2003 and have honed my ability to work with individuals who have challenges with establishing and maintaining healthy coping skills, ensuring safe boundaries and those who want to learn ways to navigate relationships. I enjoy the process of therapy and strive to make sure individuals understand that they are the hero of their own stories. My counseling style is a nice hybrid of reflective and directive, because I know that sometimes individuals desire to be seen, felt, and heard and other times individuals value working out the steps necessary to move forward when life feels overwhelming and hard. True change comes from feeling valued, having strong connections and understanding your worth, when you are ready for that, I am here to help you feel empowered.

Welcome. I hope you find insight here! As a licensed psychotherapist & clinical supervisor, I value a practical understanding of holistic medicine. Coming from a "seasoned" lens with almost two decades of clinical experience, my approach relies heavily on evidence-based technique, research and natural instinct. With gratitude, I invite you to explore details of my treatment approach & scope of practice below. If you prefer client commentary, please skip to my reviews! They are 100% voluntary, as direct feedback is essential to my approach. With a board certification in clinical supervision, I prioritize the lifelong pursuit of research & continued education. I believe wholeheartedly that transparency & accountability are essential for long term growth. Healing is a collaborative process. My passion for counseling psychology, intertwined with formalized education have been necessary to develop the awareness necessary to provide services as a skilled therapist. Clinical intuition & self-discovery naturally result in what I believe to be my divine purpose as a healer. In addition to what I've detailed above; a fundamental devotion to motherhood, commitment to faith and my own belief in the power of recovery have all combined to enhance an already intense passion for human connection & healing. Through my own journey of practicing individual guidance & treatment team leadership, I have been thrilled to expand from psychotherapist to my long time dream as clinical director. After many years in the helping role, I hope with my knowledge base & experience I'm able to reach a larger group who helps assist local courts to better our community. Another element of my story is my own recovery. This is an asset to my role as a psychotherapist and especially as a clinical director. I am grateful & overjoyed to soon celebrate eleven years of sobriety this coming November, 2025. I believe my sobriety personally enhances my ability to practice the very fundamentals of recovery. Special milestones of my own sobriety has helped guide individual clients. My experience in recovery has been vital through the guidance I provide to clinical staff & clients as they locate their own unique chosen path to healing. Theoretical approach: I consider my traits & beliefs of my approach as unique as my techniques and overall theory, which tend to change along with the culture throughout my career. At heart, most of my approach is person-centered & Trauma-informed, although I pull techniques from many frameworks, like Cognitive Behavioral, family systems & solution-focused. Most clients naturally gravitate to my intentional transparency. Helping clients focus on their own self-discovery is a rewarding journey of partnership that involves a gentle balance of grace, respect and humility. My individual experience as a practitioner is always separate and secondary to client needs & goals. Almost two decades ago, I discovered my dream to formalize the leadership of therapists during licensure. Gaining this clinical certification intensified my love and enhanced my strong commitment to the counseling field-I consider this role of clinical mentorship a true honor. My partnership with Betterhelp has allowed me to use a flexible approach as an independent practitioner for the past four years. I contract with organizations that respect this independence, allowing variety and a relaxed scheduling structure. My choice to maintain small caseloads allows me an ability to commit to individual needs & prioritize the healing of each client I have manually pre-selected. This is a process I prefer to customize to ensure long-term growth & therapeutic trust. Most notable feedback from former clients: I am attentive, nurturing, flexible, knowledgeable and direct in my communication. I find that my own authenticity is fundamental to my essence as a human. I believe transparency underlies all healthy attachment. With specialized understanding in trauma recovery, I believe that we all have the ability to heal. Only you hold the power to transform your life. This directly requires accountability, openness and honesty. Responsibility for your healing is fundamental to this process. My role in this partnership is dependent on the value of client effort! I provide support, validation and accountability - just as I enforce, practice & model appropriate boundaries. Other fundamental techniques like confrontation, psychoeducation lay the groundwork best for healing. My faith adds a necessary layer of unique impartiality to my role. This detail is important to acknowledge as my spiritual beliefs overlap with a unique awareness that I believe transcends the collective, mind, body and soul. Using a structure of standard practice with appropriate evidence-based techniques, only licensed psychotherapists possess the exclusive legal responsibility and ethical liability to provide safe, legitimate medical care. Verifiable benefit is shown through statistical evidence with insured, licensed practitioners. I am verified by Psychology Today & a member of the National Counseling Association among others. My ultimate priority as licensed psychotherapist is to provide the emotional safety that ensures healing for my clients. I believe that NO obstacle is superior against the profound strength of human connection & willpower! An OPEN heart is always the ONLY requirement for growth. Recently I was ecstatic to accept my true dream position as clinical director, a role I have worked to make a reality for more than 15 years. This role takes much of my time from independent contracts like Betterhelp, a transition that took months for me to consider. This choice came with careful consideration as the reality for more space from my clients would be a reality. I will continue to hold great love and gratitude for Betterhelp. As I take more time away while I grow into my newest title, I have limited availability and have decided to separate as my current clients each finish their therapeutic processes. Please feel free to join my wait list today! Thank you for the time you've chosen to spend with my words. I hope you've found insight in my story.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Tonkawa is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
