I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Oklahoma with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy, psychoeducation, counseling and life coaching. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD, bipolar, and sexual and gender issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a family systems approach, choice theory, 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 in that next step.
I look forward to working with you!

You are by far the best therapist I have ever had. Thank you.

I didn't know I needed "a Dr. Shepherd" until I got Dr. Shepherd!
He has been absolutely amazing in steering me along the path I need to take while allowing me to feel like I am the one leading.
I would certainly recommend him to everyone (except my ex-husband).
