I am a seasoned psychotherapist and counselor with a commitment to developing the strengths and possibilities within each client that I work with. I believe in providing relief from immediate suffering while also helping individuals with honoring and advancing their own goals. I also believe in the uniqueness of each person.

I am licensed in Oklahoma and Oregon with 6 years of professional counseling work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, parenting issues, self esteem, Autism and other neurodivergent populations, and various career difficulties.

I work with adults and specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to empower my clients to make changes in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with seasoned experience in every level of mental healthcare. I have worked in community mental health, crisis counseling, inpatient settings and Intensive Outpatient programs with extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma and problems in relationships.

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming - whether you're navigating the impact of life transitions, trauma, or coping with anxiety or depression. I bring extensive experience supporting survivors of trauma, violence, and crime.

I offer a warm, calming, nonjudgmental approach, sensitive to your individual needs and focused on helping you gain the clarity, healing, and equanimity you may be seeking.

I am an LPC and have earned the NBCC. I enjoy spending time with my dog, cats, and chickens. My kids are adults, but I try to spend as much time with them as possible. My approach is to set clear goals for myself and my clients and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress.

My approach is to listen with compassion and understanding, and the knowledge that when someone takes the step to come to therapy, they do so from a position of strength. Understandably, it can also be very uncomfortable to divulge so much about yourself to a stranger, and with that, I honor and acknowledge that you have taken that step.

I specialize in the profound challenges of grief, loss, and adjusting to life after significant change. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward while honoring your loss. This is a safe, supportive space to explore your emotions, make sense of your experience, and regain a sense of balance.

My approach begins with appreciation for your life story and recognizing your strengths, because you have survived 100% of your hardest days so far. Using mindfulness & somatic/ relaxation techniques to establish a sense of safety, we can allow distressing memories to resurface and be re-processed with EMDR to address patterns and enhance healing.

I work with adult women from a holistic perspective, viewing you not only as yourself but in connection with your history, circumstances, roles, relationships, values, and beliefs. Together we'll explore the full picture of who you are.

My job as a therapist is to help you navigate through the stumbling blocks that are preventing you from having the best quality of life. I am here to listen with empathy, provide coping skills and techniques, support, and resources to help you achieve your goals of a better state of mind or a healthier way of life.

I keep it real and bring my authentic self to sessions, using humor and strength-based approaches. I focus with clients on emotional regulation skills in the moment and how to process through concerns by learning to notice thoughts, emotions, and where these can be experienced in the body.

Would you like to experience increased well-being and emotional healing? Are you struggling with emotional regulation, self-criticism, spiritual issues, low self-esteem, or experiencing major life changes in your journey? I specialize in the areas of self-compassion, inner child healing work, energy psychology, and somatic awareness.
