Currently, I do not have any evening slots open. Social distancing? I offer teletherapy. You can still receive your services and stay safe. Your family's dysfunction WILL NOT scare me! ( I promise.) You are not "crazy" because you are seeking counseling. To me, you are BRAVE! Question? Are you struggling?? Now take a long deep breath....("no, for real....take a deep breath.") Therapy is self-care! Invest into your best asset.......YOU! You don't have to do this alone. It is okay NOT to be okay! Question? Do you feel like you have tried everything you know to do? It's time to exhale! (take another deep breath.)

There are times when life's circumstances can feel like too much to handle. Whether it be the birth of a child, a divorce, a new marriage, or whatever your current situation is, it is common to feel overwhelmed. I have a passion for being a resource in those moments.

Life is often not easy, and the day to day challenges can result in worry, stress, sadness, anger, and loss of hope. I enjoy working with clients as they process these challenging issues in their lives, and believe that they should not have to do this alone!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Oklahoma Counseling Association (OCA) as well as Counseling Association for Military, Oklahoma Veterans and Families (CAMOVAF). I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Counseling Psychology degree, both from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults and families in an outpatient setting as well as school-based setting. I incorporate solution-focused as well as cognitive-behavioral and reality based therapy solutions.

I currently have openings. I enjoy working with individuals who are willing to address areas of their life that are causing distress and challenges. Great progress can be made when an individual is ready to work and put forth effort. It is an honor to walk along side these individuals as they search these for the right path in their lives.

“With insight, understanding and self-empathy, I believe we can make effective personal changes. Through our continued personal development of "emotional competency" we will increase our potential for more satisfying relationships and a greater sense of emotional and spiritual development." I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to provide support for your emotional and interpersonal needs. Our families are currently waking up each day with social, economic and health-safety challenges. Effective emotional regulation and interpersonal skills are now even more critical.

CURRENTLY FULL. Do your emotions and life feel out of control? You’re living day to day trying to simply get by, juggling your relationships and responsibilities and feeling like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Your marriage might be hanging on by a thread, or you may be struggling with depression or anxiety you can’t seem to escape. Maybe you’re a trauma survivor and struggling to work through your past experiences or a first responder experiencing anxiety every time a call comes in. Things are hard right now, but you know that there’s more to life than sleepless nights and anxiety-filled days.

Everyone faces challenges in life, and those can sometimes feel so huge that it seems nothing can help. My goal is to give hope to those who are hurting and feeling overwhelmed by events in their past, problems they face today, or worries about the future. I want to help my clients understand that they are the architect of their future & that they do not have to be defined by their past experiences.

At some point, we often find ourselves struggling to get past a problem, whether that problem is with an important relationship, or an inner emotional struggle. I enjoy working with others to understand how one came to be in such conflict and how one can move from old ways of coping to newer healthier ways. I believe working from a relational perspective is an important way to create an atmosphere of trust. I strive to help my patients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The more we know about ourselves the more freedom we have to make better choices in work, play, and relationships.

I believe that a very important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My natural approach to therapy is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment by providing empathy and developing trust. We will work together toward self-awareness and finding balance to produce healing and meaningful change. I enjoy working with families to build stronger relationships through understanding and positive communication.

My ideal client is someone who will work hard both in and out of session; it may be someone who is looking to work on improving their romantic relationship, wanting to change or eliminate problematic behaviors, or who want to no longer feel as though anxiety and/or depression is ruling their life. No goal is too big or too small, and I want to help you reach those goals! I enjoy helping my clients develop new skills and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone. If you are willing to try something new to improve yourself or your relationships, therapy is a perfect way to start your journey.

For many, life's passage introduces challenge and difficulty, uncertainty, and pain. In partnering with you to define hope amidst struggle, we will face the endeavor of growth, change, and healing together. Characteristic of my counseling approach is a humble care for your sacred and unique experiences and relationships. Through tender, open, and change-focused exchanges, my work with you will offer opportunities for you to explore strategically, experience vulnerably, question openly, grieve fully, and hope deeply.

I have witnessed that major change, crisis, loss, or prolonged stress can throw an individual or family off-kilter, adversely affecting entire worlds and contributing to depression, anxiety, and family conflict. Seeking treatment may improve one's self-awareness, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. I specialize in helping people understand, process, and develop ways of managing grief and loss; marital or relationship issues; family and work crises; trauma and abuse; illness; and end-of-life concerns. The goal of this practice is to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth and wellbeing in a safe environment.

Have you been sexually or emotionally abused by someone who was supposed to protect you? Did you grow up in a household of chaos and dysfunction? Has grief or loss left you with a sense of emptiness? Often times, unresolved past trauma can manifest itself in the present as depression, anxiety, emotional volatility, relationship issues, and addictive behaviors. My approach is to target the root causes of your current struggles so that you get lasting results. I believe our inner guidance is the most powerful tool we have, and that we have everything we need within us to heal.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, under supervision for clinical license, at Lilyfield, Inc. I am a trained TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) practitioner. TBRI is Lilyfield's primary counseling modality. It is a holistic approach, attachment based, and trauma informed. TBRI is a systemic approach to complex trauma. I also utilize several other treatment approaches including but not limited to Level One Theraplay & MIM, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and art therapy.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Do you feel stuck or like things are falling apart? If you, or someone in your family is experiencing this, I would like to help. Working together with a client to rebuild their life to become something much more worthwhile is my primary goal. Children, teens, adults, and families can all benefit from Art Therapy for issues such as: divorce, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, behavior issues, abuse/neglect, trauma, and others. Let's work together to find solutions to whatever problems you, or your family, are experiencing.

It is my pleasure to work with you in a therapeutic relationship. My primary belief is that what makes therapy effective is the quality of our relationship. You are being asked to share the deepest aspects of your personhood; as your therapist, I will treat these facets as sacred, confidential and worthy of my best work. I believe children have a voice but just have difficulty verbalizing it at times, and through interactive and expressive therapy I am able to best communicate and build relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Edmond, OK specializing in the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for children & adolescents 2-18 years of age. I am also the President of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Incorporated, and a Certified PCIT Global Trainer. PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for children 2-7 years of age with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.

Today, you can begin a different path in relationships with others and with yourself. In some way, we are impacted every day by our view of ourselves and by those around us. I believe a large part of healing from negative experiences starts with being honest with ourselves and opening up. Depression, anxiety, shame, resentment, and many other issues affect us and our relationships on a regular basis. Together, we can begin to turn difficulties into experiences that lead to a better future.
