I have 7 years of experience as a mental health counselor, life coach, and career coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, problems with school and career, decision making, and ADHD. My counseling approach has been described as direct, yet caring and collaborative. I strive to ensure my clients feel comfortable opening up to me about whatever they feel will help them achieve their goals in counseling. Because of this approach, I have clients from a range of genders, sexualities, and ethnic backgrounds. I approach counseling with a client-centered, cognitive behavioral treatment modality, as well as a focus on solution-focused and choice theory approaches. Utilizing different approaches allows me to customize the therapeutic process to each individual client. Reaching out for help can be one of the most difficult processes we face in life.

I entered the field of counseling and mental health in 2004 based on my love and interest in interacting with people. I felt drawn to a helping profession as I recognized how the course of my life had changed based on the positive influences of others in my life. I am from Oklahoma and graduated from the University of Oklahoma twice (Boomer Sooner!). In 2005, I graduated with my degree in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy. I completed my Master’s in Education with an emphasis in Community Counseling in 2009. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. I began my career in the reunification of children and families who had been in the foster care system in Oklahoma. I am familiar with the court system and feel passionately about helping families learn to parent effectively together in challenging situations. In 2010, I became a school counselor. This provided me with a great understanding of schools and the struggles that children often face in a group setting. Teens are also one of my favorite populations to work with and I enjoy the unique balance between childhood and adulthood they bring. I have worked in many areas of the counseling field and have truly loved the different dynamics that they offer. I utilize a holistic approach, incorporating the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. My focus has been children, teens, and families but I enjoy working with a variety of people.

What do you love about working with clients? I love helping people grow into someone they are happy to see when they look in the mirror and can tell themselves: "Today is going to be a good day because I am going to make it a good day." Which diagnoses are you skilled at treating? Most of my experience is treating people with addiction including but not limited to porn addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, gaming, and social media addiction. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, ADHD, grief, and sex/relationship issues. Which client populations do you treat? I work mostly with adults but I am willing to see someone as young as 15 or 16 years old. I also work with anyone from any faith or culture; my therapeutic methods are not faith-based. What is your approach to therapy? I am a client-centered therapist. The best way for me to explain this is by using a driving metaphor. If we are in a car together, you are the driver and I am the passenger. As the driver, you control where you go because you have to live with your decisions. I, as the passenger, will help you navigate your journey by providing alternate choices, exploring choices, witnessing your grief, providing unconditional positive regard, etc. And at times, I will challenge you but at the end of the day, I am here to support you in your journey. Why did you become a therapist? I became a therapist because I have lost too many people to suicide and addiction. Loosing one person to either is too much. I have seen and experienced the devastation of learning to live without those loved ones. I want to provide others with the tools to cope with any issue they face because not everyone has the tools or the support system that I was fortunate enough to have.

Do you have a history of trauma and find yourself struggling with symptoms of anxiety or depression? If your answer is “yes,” it’s important to know that what you’re experiencing is valid. Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression can feel overwhelming, and navigating daily life can become a challenge depending on where you are in life. I often hear from people that just considering therapy can feel intimidating. That’s a real and understandable feeling. Nevertheless, therapy can be incredibly beneficial, regardless of your stage in life or how long you’ve been carrying the weight of what you’ve gone through. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and are seeking support to manage anxiety and depression. My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which I often incorporate when working through trauma-related symptoms. While I use evidence-based methods, I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to work collaboratively with you and choose the approach that best fits your needs. Let’s determine if we’re a good fit. Together, we can begin a journey of self-reflection, healing, and meaningful change.
