Welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). I have been working as a therapist since 2007. Currently, I am the co-owner of Collaborative Counseling and Training where we believe in utilizing evidence based, effective strategies, in a private, professional setting to assist you in addressing problems and goals including stress, anxiety, depression, substance related and behavioral problems, relationship issues and other concerns.

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.

It is an honor to work with people as a Therapist. Every person in therapy should be made: 1) to feel understood; 2) to feel appreciated; 3) to be given the benefit of the doubt; 4) to be treated as an equal; 5) to be treated respectfully; 6) to have the freedom to decide. My primary goal as a counselor is to allow you to express your thoughts and feelings so that you can gain a greater understanding of yourself and situation. As a result you will gain insight into what you want to change and how to change it. In addition to exploring feelings and thoughts, I will suggest things that may help.

NOT Currently Taking NEW Clients!. I have been working with families/children for over 33 years. During this time, I've conducted research on family issues such as non-traditional family structure, teen age parenting and academic competence. Also during this time, I have worked in Therapeutic Foster care and have taught courses in Parenting and LifeSpan Development at Oklahoma State University. All families have strengths. It is important to recognize these strengths and build on them for change and improved family functioning. Let me help you find the strength to change and become empowered for you and your family.

Limited openings for clients! What our kids experience and learn in their early years becomes the way they live in and make sense of the world. From family conflict, grief, divorce, or adoption to mental health or school challenges, I believe in the healing power of making children feel heard, known, and valued. It is a privilege to be with families in their parenting journey - however and wherever it is going. From toddlers to pre-teens, I enjoy working with kids of all ages, identities, and needs.

My ideal client is someone who is open to change and has a clear understanding of their goals for change. They may be struggling with life's burdens and feel lost or unheard and just need a listening ear to have an open honest conversation. The client is the expert in his/her treatment and has the ability to facilitate change that creates confidence and autonomy. Once the client is able to see their strengths rather than their weaknesses, they can then realize their full potential in the counseling process.

I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oklahoma in 2005. I use sensitivity in my approach, I'm open-minded, supportive and non-judgmental and focus on engaging the client where they are and working together to achieve goals for therapy. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and elderly. I have worked with couples, families, and foster parents. I use Solution Focused, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Externalization and Narrative Therapy. I use Motivational Interviewing for assessments and building rapport. I use Mindfulness Based Therapy as well as Art Therapy for Stress Management.

The only thing constant in life is change..., but change can be scary and contribute to anxiety. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, loss of employment, divorce, or a new dynamic in your family, counseling can help. I offer a non-judgmental approach to counseling with an emphasis on helpful vs. unhelpful thinking. I am excited to announce that I am now providing Neurofeedback for a wide variety of disorders. Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to perform optimally. Neurofeedback is not counseling. A QEEG brain map will show the areas of the brain that could benefit from training.

When thinking about the life you want, how close are you to that life? Do you feel invalidated or a loss of control with your life? There can be many obstacles in our path. From depression, anxiety, past trauma, family conflicts, etc. I can help you identify them and we can work together to find ways through them. I believe that each person has has a unique story and needs, and whatever your concerns are I prioritize building trust with you and a unique plan based on your needs. I know that reaching out for help can be a little scary, but over time, I am confident you will discover places of strength you may not have known you had.

My approach to therapy involves focusing on the family unit, meeting each individual family member where they’re at while treating them as an important part of the therapeutic process. I do this by treating each family member equally and with compassion. I often get calls from parents asking me to help their child and my response is always the same… “Let's work together to help your kiddo.” Studies show that when parents are involved, kids recover from trauma significantly faster.

Helping others is my passion! My experience ranges from individual adolescence/teen/adult, family, pre/post incarceration. I’m open, willing and ready to meet the client where they are and adamantly help work towards a resolution that encourages a better quality of life. I feel everyone matters, has their own path to travel but also have something positive to contribute. If you’re willing and ready to work on the things that are tough and that hinders progress, I am eager to help assist you through the issues no matter age, background, gender, race. I greet everyone with an open heart and much willingness to find balance.

Life can bring different challenges that can impact how you feel about yourself and others. I believe that having a safe, honest, and validating space allows you to cultivate the awareness necessary to explore how you want to grow forward. In our work together, I will walk alongside you as you navigate the relationship with yourself and others.

I love knowing how the mind works, how our emotions respond and what we are able to do with the strength of our mind. My education in Counseling Psychology allows me to offer various therapies and techniques designed to meet the needs of individuals, couples and families.

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.
