Credentials and Experience

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and Colorado, a board-certified counselor (NCC), and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision - which means I don't just practice therapy, I train and supervise other therapists. That clinical depth shapes everything about how I work with clients.

My specialization is neurocounseling: integrating what we know about the brain and nervous system into practical, grounded therapy. I also hold specialized training in telehealth - so working with you virtually isn't a workaround, it's where I do my best work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for too long.

I have been a practicing clinical social worker since 1995. During my graduate school training, I learned a lesson about clinical work with children, teens, and adults that psychiatrist Dr. Meeks reinforced in his book "The Fragile Alliance." The lesson was about the gift of trust that people give their therapist and how we, as clinicians, must honor and keep that trust to strengthen the fragile alliance of therapy. I have cherished this gift of trust each time it has been offered by someone in my practice.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Colorado. I have a Masters of Art in Community Mental Health Counseling from Chadron Sate College (2012). I have experience providing treatment in hospital and outpatient settings.
