I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

With over a decade of experience, I have honed my clinical skills to not just meet, but exceed the therapeutic goals of those I work with. My Approach I believe in meeting you right where you are in your journey. Each session is tailored to integrate your personal strengths with the most effective strategies available. My training in both the Gottman Method and trauma-based therapy enriches my ability to address diverse relationship dynamics and deep-seated emotional challenges. Specializations Couples Therapy: Utilizing the Gottman Method, I help couples rebuild healthy relationships grounded in mutual respect and understanding. Trauma Therapy: I apply trauma-informed techniques to help individuals navigate and heal from their past experiences, fostering resilience and empowerment. Holistic Wellness: As a CIMHP, I integrate aspects of physical and mental wellness to enhance your overall well-being. When addressing anxiety, depression, and anger management in your portfolio, it's important to communicate both a deep understanding of these issues and a compassionate approach to helping clients manage and overcome them. Here’s how you could describe your services for each: Anxiety In today's world, anxiety can feel like a constant companion. In my therapy sessions, I aim to offer a safe and calming environment where you can learn to understand and manage your anxiety. We'll explore the roots of your anxiety, identify triggers, and employ techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you develop healthier thought patterns and relaxation skills. My goal is to empower you with the tools to regain control over your anxiety, enhancing your overall quality of life. Depression Depression can dim the joy of living, making even everyday tasks feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I provide a supportive space to talk openly about your feelings and challenges. We'll work together to uncover the underlying causes of your depression and address them using a blend of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrative methods that consider your overall wellness. By building on your strengths and fostering resilience, our sessions will help you rediscover hope and work towards a more fulfilling life. Anger Management Anger, though a natural emotion, can disrupt your life and relationships if not managed properly. In our sessions, we focus on understanding the sources of your anger and learning to express it in healthy ways. Using evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and mindfulness techniques, you will learn to recognize triggers, control your responses, and communicate your feelings more effectively. My approach is centered on helping you transform anger into a constructive force that advocates for your needs without causing harm or regret. Therapeutic Techniques My practice is rooted in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

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
