Great to meet you!

As a licensed mental health therapist practicing for the past 18 years, my career has been driven by a deep commitment to helping clients set healthy boundaries, develop assertiveness, and navigate relationship challenges. I am licensed in both Oklahoma and New York, and I have specialized in working with mood and anxiety disorders, impulse control, anger management, and relational issues. By fostering a supportive and empathetic environment, clients work to build confidence, communicate their needs clearly, and create more balanced, fulfilling connections in their lives. In addition, I support clients in managing anger by helping them identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and express their emotions constructively to lead to more peaceful and productive interactions.

My approach to therapy

I believe in an individualized approach and use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and emotional regulation techniques. We can also choose Accelerated Resolution Therapy which uses eye movements and guided imagery to address trauma or negative body sensations. I have learned to approach each client with empathy, respect, and a belief in their capacity for change, all while providing a safe and supportive space for healing, self-reflection, and growth.

What you can expect from me

With over 18 years of experience working with adults, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals understand and process their emotions in a meaningful way. By fostering open communication and providing practical tools, I empower clients to face challenges with confidence and resilience.
