Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Oklahoma and Tennessee, and a Reiki Master. I graduated cum-laude from Mississippi College (CACREP accredited) with a Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2003, and I maintain a private practice in Oklahoma. I practice mental/behavioral health and energy healing, and I employ a variety of techniques and approaches, including Energy Psychology and Mindfulness. My skill preference and strength is in utilizing Mind-Body approaches. I previously worked treating predominantly Hispanic clients from children to adults in a medical center, and I have over a decade of experience working with adolescent and adult populations in drug rehabilitation settings, and outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment centers. In more recent years, I have worked primarily with adults and teens experiencing mild to moderate depression and anxiety, and also persons needing help navigating difficult life situations such as divorce/relationship changes, grief, or coping with health issues, such as post-partum, auto-immune disease, and chronic pain. I am a firm believer in alternative methods to healing, holistic approaches to treatment, and living an active and healthy lifestyle as the foundation to good physical, mental, and emotional health. I relocated to Oklahoma shortly thereafter shortly after graduating from my Masters program. I have lived in Mississippi, Tennessee, and a few other states, but was raised primarily on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I grew up immersed in Puerto-Rican culture, and became fluent in Spanish, and I was also raised speaking Portuguese and English at home, and spent summers visiting family in São Paulo, Brazil. I feel that my multi-cultural upbringing helps me in understanding clients from diverse backgrounds. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I'm also a certified Reiki Master, and an avid student of alternative healing methods. I balance my work helping others with raising three beautiful daughters, and caring for a Golden Retriever, a Hound-mix rescue, and two cats. I love learning alternative methods of healing, exploring other cultures, and small-scale gardening. I am also a supporter of clean and healthy living, animal rights, sustainability and preserving the environment. Energy Psychology Energy psychology is a form of treatment that emphasizes the mind-body connection, and focuses on wholeness and total well-being for the client. Several treatment methods may be used, usually involving a form of bio-feedback, relaxation techniques, and the administering of self-treatments stemming from ancient alternative healing therapies. Because energy psychology addresses the root causes of a patient's dis-ease through the body, it is possible to release deep, subconscious issues. Energy psychology is appropriate for all ages, and for most problems, and it is ideal in situations when previous treatments have failed and patients are feeling stuck. It is a gentle, interactive, and efficient way of treating multiple complaints. Research has shown the effectiveness of energy psychology approaches in treating trauma and stress compared to traditional psychotherapies.

Hello! My name is Jer (he/they). I have experience working with all age groups but specialize in adolescents and adults. I have worked with people struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD/Autism, trauma, difficulties with sleep, stress, spirituality/religion, and many other areas of concern as well. I have also specifically worked with youth and adults of the LGBTQ+ and poly communities. I pride myself in being a safe space for all and particularly for those who align with every letter of the LGBTQIA+ community. Not just a safe space, but a member of these communities as well. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Business Administration and a Master of Arts (MA) in Professional Counseling both from Ottawa University. I’m licensed to provide mental health therapy services in Oklahoma (LPC #7262) and Missouri (LPC #2021018466). I am a Veteran of the United States Navy (USN). I’m also an Indigenous American and a member of the Ottawa (Adawe) Tribe of Oklahoma. Treatment Modalities and Certifications: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Mindfulness Based Therapies; Internal Family Systems (IFS); Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT); Energy healing techniques such as Reiki (Certified Reiki Master); Spiritual Counseling (Non-Religious Ordained Minister by Universal Life Church); and Life Coaching. “It is my belief that mental/behavioral health services be available to all who seek it. Finding a provider that meets your needs can be a challenging process and it is one I am personally familiar with. Today, with the political turmoil, social and environmental injustices and more, it can be quite daunting to find a provider who understands what those being directly impacted by all the issues are experiencing. It is important to feel understood by your provider. It is my belief as a person and professional that BLACK/ASIAN/NATIVE/LGBTQ+/TRANS LIVES MATTER & We only have 1 Earth – We should treat it like it is our home. Because it is.” I would be honored for the opportunity to help you navigate through life toward discovering your purpose and overcoming any barriers you may find in your path. Reach out today!
