20 years of experience offering psychology treatment
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.

25 years of experience offering psychology treatment
The human spirit is more powerful than any drug, and it is that we need to nurture. Lives get off track for many reason, but they can get back on track. I am honored to help. For the last 30 years, I was employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Since 1998, I served as a Drug Treatment Specialist, working with adult male offenders with substance use disorders. The previous 7 years, I was employed in Human Resources and unit management. I left that job due to mandatory retirement. I loved the work because I found it meaningful. Even though the primary focus was a cognitive-behavioral approach to addiction, I counseled our clients regarding grief and loss and relationship issues of all kinds. I enjoyed working with people who had forgotten their own potential and watching them grow and take control of the rest of their lives. EDUCATION Master of Arts in Personnel and Organizational Psychology in 1992, from the University of Central Oklahoma (formerly Central State University) in Edmond, Oklahoma. Bachelor of Business Administration in 1988, from Central State University, Edmond, Oklahoma.

License Type(s): MA,LPC
Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyRelationship issuesFamily conflictsDepression
26 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from the University of Colorado in Denver in 1995 with a master’s degree in counseling psychology/counseling education. Since then, I have amassed 26 years of experience seeing clients in a variety of settings. I have worked with high school students on their personal and professional development. At universities, I led workshops for non-traditional (older) students. I have developed teambuilding workshops for companies and provided career counseling for individuals. I have been invited to present personality type workshops to various community groups. I have worked for agencies and in private practice. More recently, I have worked with client’s in their homes, addressing the gamut of personal issues a person can face: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger issues, premarital/marital issues, suicide, addictions in the family, low self-esteem, family of origin issues, and others. I am currently licensed in the state of Oklahoma Early in my education, I was encouraged to develop my own style of counseling, and that is what I have done. I have many different theoretical techniques in my “counseling toolbox”: cognitive/thought oriented, behavioral oriented, past/present/and future oriented. I steer clear of typical “psychobabble,” but I am fond of a good analogy. I like to use humor, and I believe that we all can laugh at ourselves if we feel secure enough. Knowing that we are loved in spite of (or maybe even because of) our flaws can be quite encouraging. I will accept you, and your issues, because I know I have my share. In fact, I was once told that the difference between a therapist and a client is that a therapist is further along in sorting out their issues. The counseling setting for me can be similar to the old joke where a man loses his wallet on a dark street. Another man sees the first one searching around under a streetlight and asks if he can be of assistance. The first man explains that he has lost his wallet and would welcome any assistance. The two men comb the area thoroughly, looking everywhere to no avail. Finally the second man says to the first, “Are you sure you lost it here?” To which the first man replies, “No, I lost it down in that dark alley.” The second man says, “Well, Why are we looking here?!” The first man says, “Because the light is better here.” A good therapist can be a flashlight - helping you explore the darker areas of your life. But, don’t worry, we won’t go until you are ready. I look forward to searching with you.

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!

35 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I am licensed in Oklahoma with 35 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with life changes, & executive and professional coaching. I believe as a therapist it is important to be very interactive with my clients and offer an environment that is safe and conducive to sharing information openly. I regularly practice mindfulness meditation and encourage my clients to engage in said practice as part of our work together when possible. I have found it to be personally significant in my life and the practice has much to offer for all ages. In October 2024 I moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand in order to continue my training in mindfulness. I have been to Thailand many times and practiced my meditation skills in a variety of settings such as Buddhist monastery's and various workshop opportunities. I believe this environment gives me the time and skills to provide the best possible services to the clients that I serve

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Erick 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 Erick 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 Erick 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).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Erick?
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 Erick therapy 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, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in OK, therapists may be booked out with clients.

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 Erick, 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.
Erick 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. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
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.
