Couples therapists in Norman, OK

I am a passionate therapist who strives to empower my clients

I utilize an eclectic therapeutic style that allows me to meet the client where they are to help them accomplish their goals

Being a therapist is more than a job to me. It is a calling

I have been providing clinical mental health and wellness services to a diverse population of clients, with a wide range of concerns, for over 5 years. I believe in a holistic and collaborative approach to the therapeutic process. I have found this to be an effective approach to treatment for any presenting concerns or problematic symptoms contributing to client distress. The therapeutic role is to create a safe space where clients can feel heard, validated and address their concerns openly in an unbiased, judgement free environment. I am passionately dedicated to providing guidance and/or assistance to any and all clients with compassion and empathy. Healing begins with you; My role is to bear witness and act as a guide, when necessary, as you find pathways to profound and meaningful insights into your own experiences. We all have stories filled with joy and sorrow, delight and despair, however healing is often found in a process of our own validated expressions.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the State of Oklahoma. I am currently employed by Gillispie Counseling Services. Please call 580-736-8102 for appointment information. My focus is "systemic" because I believe all aspects of the environment contribute to the individual. I have a master's level education in Marriage & Family Therapy. I have experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and couples with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns.

I focus on the wholeness of a person emotionally, physically, and spiritually. If my clients prefer, I can provide an effortless Biblical approach. I also enjoy using mindfulness along with CBT in sessions as well. Personally, I enjoy social gatherings in my city, singing in choir, spending time with family and friends and learning about random health topics. I am a mother of two toddlers and I have been married for nearly 7 years.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

I believe that meaningful growth happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My practice is built on creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, discover strengths, and move toward lasting change.

I am a clinical social worker committed to helping individuals achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life. I value the therapeutic relationship for the establishment of trust and comfort. My style involves a client-centered, genuine, non-judgemental approach to exploring and establishing goals. I believe you know who you are best, and you have the strength and power to achieve your goals.

I use a trauma informed lens in my practice with training in attachment styles, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I finished my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Family Consumer Sciences as well as my Master's in Social Work at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I will be accepting new clients beginning April 2026; please feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation!
