Woodward was the epitome of old west cattle towns back when it was first founded. It was filled with saloons, taverns and brothels, the most famous of which was the Dew Drop Inn. Those times were fraught with peril for many, and there are several stories in the history about shootouts that happened in the town. Shootouts and brothels don’t happen anymore, but that doesn’t mean life is always peaceful.

If you are fighting your own internal battles, help is available. Woodward-area counselors can help you examine your internal or external battles in your life and help you find solutions and overcome to find happiness once more. Contact a therapist today.

In my practice, I understand that what may initially seem scary and daunting can become familiar territory when you embark on a journey of self-discovery.

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
