I completed both my graduate and post-graduate studies at the University of Central Oklahoma, where I currently serve as an adjunct professor in the Counseling Department. I specialize in relationship counseling, working with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have completed Levels 1 and 2 training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, equipping me with research-based tools to support healthier communication and stronger relationships.
I use both Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds powerful tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—especially valuable in trauma work.
Used together, they can support clients in both understanding why they feel and react the way they do (CBT) and how to navigate those reactions in real time (DBT). That pairing is particularly effective when trauma presents with intense emotional swings, self-criticism, or difficulty maintaining relationships.
I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can engage in meaningful therapeutic work with confidence and trust.
