Everyone desires to be healthy, happy, and whole. If you are expecting a result, envisioning an answer, or seeking a resolution for your challenges, you may simply need an idea regarding how to address them. You may even wonder if a solution exists for your situation. Be assured, there are no real limits when you pursue a path that leads to living your best life ever. In fact, it is your time! One choice - among others – is to "make a life change that will change your life". Pause and picture this, You at your very best. This is not so far removed from your grasp! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. I practice as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that is active, collaborative, goal-oriented and is based on the cognitive model. That means we will work together to understand the role that our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors play in our current struggles. In addition to support and insight, CBT offers clients specific strategies, skills and tools that you can use to make changes, relieve suffering, and achieve your goals. I can help you make discoveries and establish connections, as you find yourself along the way. By maximizing the use of thought processing and development, in a cognitive manner, healing and happiness can begin. These great experiences can also continue. Therapeutic practices have always offered this type of comfort, while prompting the presence of joy. You deserve to reach your goals. It is possible to overcome your current difficulties, if any exist. It is a perfect time, to take the time, and find lasting joy. I am compassionate about assisting others in exploring possibilities, utilizing abilities and finding optimal resolutions in the most satisfying ways. Therapy provides the tools to empower healthy living.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 7 years.

I have provided both Individual and Family Therapy for children, teens, adults, and seniors both inpatient and outpatient as well as telehealth and in person. Clearly there is no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to therapy; therefore, I favor an Eclectic approach. This type of approach incorporates a variety of therapeutic principles that create an ideal treatment program to meet the specific needs of each client. I commit to being intentionally present while attentively listening with empathy to create an inviting, open, and non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere throughout each session. My goal is to build a working relationship with you and view issues from your perspective; thus, allowing you to heal in your own way. I look forward to helping you maneuver through life, at your pace, one session at a time, and I am confident in helping you progress from simply surviving to thriving.

Welcome. I hope you find insight here! As a licensed psychotherapist & clinical supervisor, I value a holistic understanding of integrative medicine. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, this approach relies heavily on evidence-based technique, research and specialized training. With gratitude, I invite you to explore details of my treatment approach & scope of practice. If you prefer direct commentary from clients, please skip to my reviews! Reviews are 100% voluntary as feedback is essential to my approach. With a board certification in clinical supervision, I prioritize a pursuit of lifelong education & research. I believe transparency & accountability are essential for long term growth. My passion for counseling psychology, intertwined with a formalized education have been necessary to develop the awareness needed as a skilled therapist. Clinical intuition & self-discovery through experience have naturally resulted in what I believe to be my own fundamental purpose as a healer. In addition, my devotion to motherhood, commitment to faith and my belief in the power of recovery-have combined to enhanced an already strong intuition. I believe this outcome is my divine purpose. I am grateful & overjoyed to have celebrated ten years of sobriety the past November of 2024. I believe my own recovery improves my ability to help those suffering in active addiction. My personal experience is vital as I help clients locate their chosen path to healing. Most clients naturally gravitate to my intentional transparency. Helping clients focus on their own self-discovery is a journey of partnership that involves a gentle balance of grace and respect. As a practitioner, I prefer my individual experience be separate and secondary to client needs. More than 15 years ago, I discovered my dream to formalize leadership of therapists through licensure. This intensified my own love & commitment to the field of counseling psychology. I am honored to mentor clinicians through my role as a clinical supervisor, as they practice therapy with my license while they finalize licensure certification. My partnership with Betterhelp allows me to use a collaborative approach as an independent practitioner. I contract with more than one organization, allowing variety and flexibility. I choose to have small caseloads which allows me the ability to commit to individual needs & the well-being of each client I have pre-selected. This is a process I am able to customize and ensure therapeutic trust. Most notable feedback from former clients: I am attentive, nurturing, flexible, knowledgeable and direct in my communication. I find that my ability to provide authenticity is fundamental to my identity as a human being, just as transparency underlies all healthy attachment in relationships. My theoretical style has evolved over many years of formal practice & training. I continue to seek most proficient training available, and hold special skill using these techniques: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness & Internal Family Systems. Solution-focused CBT, TF-CBT. Only trauma-informed skills are used as I continue to absorb all opportunities to embrace current understanding in trauma-specific techniques. 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 equal to the value of client effort! I provide support, validation and accountability, just as I enforce and practice boundaries. All of these fundamentals-when used appropriately, provide 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 special awareness that I believe transcends the collective, mind, body and soul. Using a structure of standard practice with most appropriate evidence-based techniques, only licensed psychotherapists possess the exclusive legal responsibility and ethical liability to provide safe, legitimate mental healthcare. Verifiable benefit is statistically shown in treatment with a licensed practitioner. My ultimate priority as a licensed psychotherapist is to provide the emotional safety that ensures healing. I am verified by Psychology Today, a member of the National Counseling Association & several others. I believe that NO obstacle is superior against the profound strength of human connection & willpower! An OPEN heart should always be the ONLY requirement for treatment. Thank you for the time you've chosen to spend with my words. I hope you've found insight in details shared here. Please feel free to join my wait list today!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Hickory area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Hickory therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Hickory due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Hickory may not take health insurance, some in the state of Oklahoma may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Oklahoma you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Hickory, Oklahoma can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Hickory has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. 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.
