I hold the belief that most people are ultimately good and doing their best, but life happens and we adapt in order to survive and cope. When those adaptations are no longer helpful, they can become problematic and lead to anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and more. This is when asking for help to access or develop new insights, perspectives, and coping skills can make sense! My goal is to partner with you, the expert on yourself, in order to explore a plan that fits your unique needs.

I seek to create a nurturing, compassionate environment where clients feel safe and supported as they negotiate the difficulties of life. I consider it an honor that people trust me with these painful aspects of their lives. It's a privilege to travel this portion of the road of life with an individual or couple. Whether folks need help to sort out a difficult decision, a work situation, depression, anxiety, or marital difficulties, my goal is to honor and respect each individual's struggle. My belief, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." - Plato

As a depth counselor, whose practice is based in Carl Jung’s psychoanalytic therapy, I assist clients who need deep healing from grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other wounds to find wholeness in Self and relationships again. It takes a lot of courage to shine a light into the darkest places within, and to uncover and work with the roots of our pain. I truly believe even the most difficult challenge can hold gifts for us.

Are you feeling disconnected from your loved ones, family, and friends? Are you the caregiver of a child struggling at home, school, or in relationships? Depression, anxiety, trauma, unexpected life changes, and stress can lead us to feel isolated and hopeless. Without connection, it can be difficult to confront all of life's challenges. Finding a therapist to share these feelings & thoughts with can be the beginning of living a more peaceful life. No one deserves to suffer alone!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma with a master’s degree in Human Relations. I have worked in mental health for over 25 years in different settings including inpatient, day treatment, home based, school based and outpatient. I also have experience working in collaboration with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. I enjoy counseling children and teenagers with their families as well as adults, both individually and with their partners. I specialize in depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, adjustment issues, social anxiety, stress management, relationship conflict and trauma.

Whether you are struggling with trauma, difficult relationships, or general dissatisfaction, therapy can help you learn to respond to challenges more productively and with improved flexibility. Looking at one's behaviors and relationships is challenging, but sharing that exploration with a compassionate person can be transformational. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where we can look at your past and present to understand why you might be responding to life in ways that are less than satisfying. We can then focus on how you can pursue your goals, have more intimacy, and feel more vital.

YOUR well-being is my primary focus. The desired outcome is YOUR ability to maintain healthy resolutions to psychological issues or life stressors. Compassionate professional counseling is provided for children (utilizing play therapy techniques), teens, adults, and families with relational issues, emotional disturbances, trauma, depression, anxiety, and life stressors. The thrust of my eclectic approach is to ENHANCE the quality of YOUR WELL-BEING.

As your therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have been a therapist for over 35 years, and consider it to be one of the primary passions in my life. I feel truly honored to have played a part in helping others in their life journey and enjoy getting to know them. I have had a wide range of work experiences ranging from adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings. I use a number of approaches, which are based on the needs and preferences of the person being seen. Above all however I believe in the strength of the therapeutic relationship and the value of equal partnership as key ingredients in overcoming whatever your concerns may be.

Therapy doesn’t have to be a difficult experience. With a kind heart and open mind, I strive to make therapy a comfortable and safe place where you can explore the deepest insights about yourself with compassion and empathy. Therapy becomes an experience and journey about who YOU are and where YOU want to go. Is something standing in the way? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns or plagued by underlying issues? Whether you are suffering unbearable panic attacks, struggling with depression, or having difficulty with transitions, I'm here to help. Let's go beyond the surface and help YOU learn about YOU.

I believe establishing a trusting and safe relationship in which a client is an active and equal participant is absolutely crucial for any counseling process. I tailor my approach to each client's needs by drawing on different aspects of my experience and training. A lot of my work has been with anxiety, depression, codependency, perfectionism, trauma, relationships and cultural identity issues. I like to emphasize the concepts of acceptance and mindfulness to help my clients find effective ways of dealing with life stresses and challenges, as well as any long-standing patterns they wish to address.

Each of us struggles with something. Some of us struggle with worry and obsessive thinking, others with moodiness or depression, some with hurtful relationships or a painful past, and still others with a serious illness or the death of a loved one. The good news is there is hope. Let me show you how to get relief from your symptoms and freedom from your pain so you can experience greater contentment and joy. I am a kind, non-judgmental listener who truly wants the best for you.

Every person needs to feel understood, and is empowered by their capacity to understand. My approach to therapy emphasizes the pursuit of understanding as key to growth and connection, and essential for meaningful change. Understanding yourself and your own thoughts, feelings, actions, motives, beliefs, and values empowers you to live a meaningful and deliberate life, on YOUR terms. Understanding others adds to this foundation by strengthening your ability to connect and cultivate healthy relationships. My passion is fostering understanding to help clients cope with adversity and thrive in all facets of life.
