I believe therapy can be a helpful and positive experience for you! I am here to guide you on this journey. We will work together toward alleviating symptoms, improving relationships, and reaching your life goals. We will create a safe space where we will be able to communicate openly and honestly. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, fun, and genuine. I've been a licensed therapist since 1994, so I have experience with a wide variety of issues. I use various methods and techniques, and I tailor these to meet the needs of each individual. I love being a therapist because each journey is unique! I do provide some live sessions, but I rely heavily on the asynchronous messaging. I’ve found that this mode offers time for the client and the therapist to process information throughout the communication. This can be very helpful in the process of therapy. I’d love to work with you if it sounds like we’d be a good fit!

Hi, I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in the state of Oklahoma. I received my Master's degree in counseling and Rehabilitation Therapy. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years with 10 years practicing rehab therapy and counseling. I have experience working with families and individuals.

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.
