I think we can all agree that starting something new, or even continuing with where we may have left off, can be quite challenging at times. This makes a lot of sense because change is scary. It can be unfamiliar and sometimes extremely hard to adapt to. So allow me to take a moment to encourage you by providing a safe space for you to take the first step. I am committed to providing you support through life’s hardships. By working alongside you, I will tailor the therapeutic process to your unique needs as the client.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) who specializes in helping clients manage and navigate anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, and other life challenges. My clients typically include individuals and couples. I provide ethical and evidence-based services designed to be client centered, and I utilize a collaborative therapeutic approach.

Do you struggle with setting good routines? What about feeling tired and sad all the time? Have you recently had a baby and feel more down than usual? I am here to help. For over five years, I have conducted treatment at Hands To Guide You in Oklahoma City, OK. I recently graduated from Cummings Graduate Institute with my Doctor of Behavioral Health Degree. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensing Supervisor who conducts psychotherapy for patients throughout their lifespan. I want to help you be the best version of yourself.

Therapy is not one size fits all. My goal for you as the client is to create a safe and affirming space where you can be yourself. Feeling safe in the therapy room is essential to do the hard work of healing and growing from things that have happened to us in life. Therapy should be a collaboration between the client and therapist in order to help you in the best possible way. I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive space for you.

As the daughter of First Responders, and granddaughter to two Veterans, there is a special place in my heart for helping our Nations Hero's heal the wounds acquired while saving and protecting us! Thank You! The last 13 years I have had the pleasure of helping people with a range of mental, emotional and behavioral heath problems such as addictions to substances and behaviors, depression, anxiety, PTSD, parenting/family/relationship problems, life management, TBI, ASD, and treatment resistant depression in adults and teens. I am EMDR trained, working towards certification.

Hello to you from an affirming, eclectic, down to earth human who happens to be a therapist. Thank you for taking the first step to creating intentional space for yourself. Vulnerability, exploration, new skills, facing past hurts, and living authentically can seem challenging and not easy at times. Change can be tough, even scary, yet create endless possibilities for living the life you choose. Yes this is possible! My most focused areas are traumas, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, toxic relationship healing. Also, teens surrounding childhood trauma, sexuality, and transition to adulthood. Teen life ain’t easy!

The three primary goals I help my clients work towards in therapy are healing, recovery, and change. My areas of concentration include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, divorce recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and work/career-related stress. Because your unique needs bring you to therapy, we will develop goals to meet such needs and evaluate our progress as we work towards set goals. My approach to treatment is conventional (evidence-based techniques), and faith-based Christian counseling. None of us is immune to life's stressors, but effective therapy can help us remain at peace as we handle those.

We all come from different backgrounds or walks of life, and often times, it is difficult to feel like you are being heard for who you are. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming and collaborative environment in order to accomplish meaningful change and progress in your life.

I believe that life is a journey and not a destination. The past has brought you to where you are, however, you can decide where your journey will take you. As a therapist, I believe in treating the whole person. My role as a therapist is to provide clients with empathy and unconditional positive regard to facilitate change. It is important that the client develop his/her own journey to enhance their inner strengths to become the person they want to be. I love what I do. I come along beside my clients to develop a positive client/therapist relationship which is very important for fostering positive life changes.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties. I will help guide and empower you through this journey.

Accepting New Clients. I come from a multicultural and diverse background which assists me while working with individuals, couples, and families from different cultures, sexual orientations, and religions. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are trying to work through experiences and emotions to improve their lives. I believe individuals possess a great amount of resolve and inner strength which aids them in their ability to heal. With my help, these individuals can bring forward these attributes and qualities to thrive.

Life can bring us many challenges, at times leaving us feeling overwhelmed and out of balance. With over 20 years of experience as a clinical therapist, ongoing training in the newest cutting-edge therapies, and 25 years of Mindfulness practice, I use safe, gentle and highly effective approaches to help heal a variety of issues. My style is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and is based in body-mind therapies that go beyond "talk-therapy". I’m here to support you to mobilize your inner wisdom and resources to achieve a greater sense of freedom, self-confidence, and healthy connection to yourself and others.

Children are my area of specialty and I have served Oklahoma City children and parents in a variety of roles through the years. As a Professional Counselor I'm committed to providing individualized services that are client centered and trauma informed. Most importantly, I understand problems experienced by a family member effects all or some members of the family therefore effecting the family system or unit. Families that seek counseling are better prepared than those families that see the problem as existing within one individual.

I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2011 and I am a LADC (Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor). I have helped individuals transform their lives by teaching them effective coping skills. I help clients identify behavioral patterns that prevent them from progressing. I help them increase self-care, self-esteem, self-worth and ways to add value to their lives. Throughout the therapy experience clients learn to implement healthy boundaries, increase communication skills and add mindfulness techniques to their daily routine.

I possess a strong passion for working with children, preteens, teenagers, and their families. Difficult struggles including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger management problems can affect people of all ages. Regardless of whether these struggles are due in part to trauma, family changes, abuse, or other factors, I help my clients feel more self-assured and help prepare them to succeed on their own. By diving deep into the individual and grasping their unique perspective of the world around them, we can help them on their journey forward. I have immediate openings and would love to work with you and your family.

Let’s be honest, therapy can be intimidating, but you’re ready to take the first step toward healing. I approach therapy as a partnership and together, we can navigate your journey of healing and self-discovery.
