About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing in Oklahoma for nearly two decades. I have spent the last several years specializing in the treatment of interpersonal trauma and have a real passion for working with individuals who are considered "the walking wounded" as so many have the experience of having a childhood they need to heal from. I have been in the field since 2003 and have honed my ability to work with individuals who have challenges with establishing and maintaining healthy coping skills, ensuring safe boundaries and those who want to learn ways to navigate relationships. I enjoy the process of therapy and strive to make sure individuals understand that they are the hero of their own stories.

My counseling style is a nice hybrid of reflective and directive, because I know that sometimes individuals desire to be seen, felt, and heard and other times individuals value working out the steps necessary to move forward when life feels overwhelming and hard. True change comes from feeling valued, having strong connections and understanding your worth, when you are ready for that, I am here to help you feel empowered.
