I am a licensed clinical social worker psychotherapist licensed in Oklahoma with over 5 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disordered, OCD, ADHD & end of life. I also helped individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional traumas.
My therapy style is client directed, empathy based and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
