I serve those who are disconnected, despairing and without healthy coping skills. Through individual and group Nature-Based Therapy, my clients will experience connection, belonging and develop their unique personal identity. Make your health a priority today.

You've heard of PTSD. You think you might have it. You don't know what to do about it. Your sleep is an issue because you have nightmares. Even when you don't have nightmares, you don't feel rested in the morning. You avoid pieces and parts of your life because you fear being triggered by past trauma. When the stress increases in your life, you notice higher anxiety and scarier thoughts. You want to let go of the abuse and trauma of the past. Maybe you've heard about EMDR, but you don't know where to start. When you're ready to deal with trauma, you want to start as soon as possible.

Whatever has happened to you, I want you to know that there is someone who can help you create new habits and relationships with yourself and loved ones. Whether you have trauma or other mental health concerns, I'm a person who can help you navigate wherever you might be on your journey through healing. I have experience working with adolescents and their families, young adults, and adults. Call or text me at (405) 664-7519 to speak with me.

I am a somatic psychotherapist specializing in stress and anxiety reduction. I trust that you have the answers and ability you need to feel better; it just may be hard to access your own wisdom and understanding at this moment. Through years of clinical practice I am able to offer you reflection, knowledge and hope, shining a light on your strengths and helping you to move through emotional barriers that stymy your growth and personal evolution. My theoretical orientation is integrative and client-centered. I focus on the here and now, facilitating change, increasing awareness and fostering authentic relationships.

Are you seeking to reconnect with yourself and discover a meaningful path in your life? I offer grief and trauma therapy for children, teens, and adults using talk therapy along with creative outlets such as active artistic expression and play techniques. I also offer monthly groups and children's summer camps. I understand that grief and trauma are personal experiences, and healing is not linear, nor does it follow predictable stages. It is an internal experience of deep sorrow which affects emotional and physical wellness, relationships, identity, and connectedness.

Hearing people's stories is what I truly love to do. That is why I became a counselor. That is what I would want to spend my time doing even if it wasn't my career. Human beings are complex, that is true. And we are beautiful in endless ways, good when all is stripped away, and valuable beyond anything else in all of creation. To know and be known is one of the sweetest experiences of life. Along with being loved and securely belonging to other human beings. I hope my work gives these kind of gifts.

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change.

I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.
