I believe everyone has a story to tell and the power to write their own future. I have over ten years experience in the mental health field and have been a licensed therapist for five years. I work with all age groups and like to meet individuals where they are, and walk with them through their journey to better mental health.
I’m a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. My style is warm, supportive, and down‐to‐earth—I believe real healing happens when you feel safe to be yourself. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you find practical ways to manage stress, build confidence, and move forward. My goal is to meet you where you are and work together toward a calmer, more balanced life. I do not prescribe medication.
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 hold a M.S,LPC, my experience and passion include working with children, teens and adults who are struggling at home and in school with concerns such as acting our behaviors, poor relationships and individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem and conduct disorder. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I believe therapy works best when we’re actively working together toward meaningful change. Growth can feel uncomfortable at times, but with practice, new ways of thinking and relating become more natural and empowering. My approach is collaborative, genuine, and grounded in respect. My primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral and Attachment Based, but I tailor therapy to each person’s needs, drawing from a variety of methods to help you build insight, confidence, and resilience. I value a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged.
I enjoy working with individuals of various lifestyles and feel my ability to remain accepting, respectful, and genuine are my personal strengths. I am also honored as an advisor to the 5th Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which is the foremost diagnostic tool utilized by all mental health professionals around the world.
If you’re ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and purpose. To read more about my client experiences, you can visit my profile on Healthgrades.
