I successfully treat anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns.

I am well versed in 12-Step Programs and with SMART Recovery.

My primary focus centers on treating anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. I take a holistic approach to serving my clients with a focus on Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical balance and healing from substance abuse, mental health and trauma related concerns. I do NOT treat anyone under 18 years of age.

My communication style

I am solely focused on you and your needs. I care about your progress and aim to make you feel comfortable and safe while providing a neutral space for to to explore your hopes for your future.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction since 1988. I quicky began working as a tech at the recovery center I got sober through. Over the years, I have worked in various inpatient facilities, but truly found my passion for helping people after completing my Bachelor's degree in Accounting and finding myself very unfulfilled in that field. I returned to school to pursue a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy when I rediscovered the passion I felt previously in life. Once I started on that path I have not looked back. I completed my degree in 2009 and immediately worked in community mental health completing 3,000 hours of supervision toward licensure. While there, I worked primarily with clients through The Oklahoma Drug Court Program. I worked for various agencies after obtaining my licenses in 2011 (LPC) and 2012 (LADC) and started a private practice in 2013. In 2015 I began working in private practice full time and I have helped nearly 1,000 clients over that time. I love the work I do and I cherish the trust that people place with me in helping them recover.

My goals for you

I work with my clients in the initial session to help them identify in their words what their goals for therapy may be. I periodically review these goals to ensure we remain on the same page and focused in the direction my client wants to go.

My first session with you

A first session is a question and answer sessions. I typically review the types of therapy I utilize, review any assessments I have provided (prior to the first session) and discuss the results of those sessions. I ask questions about presenting problems, history of any mental health, substance abuse and physical health concerns. I inquire about family histories and current relationships. I conclude with a diagnostic impression and inquire what the client goals for treatment may be and address objectives that will enable the client to meet their stated goals for therapy.
