In sessions, I work to listen deeply and create an accepting atmosphere. There, you can become curious about your thoughts, feelings and actions, explore how your past is influencing your life today and confront the repeating patterns of emotional reaction and behavior that get in the way of your finding satisfaction in your relationships and work. In my practice, I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, problems of adjustment to stages of life, work related stress, relationship problems, transitions and coping with the effects of trauma.

I know it feels overwhelming to find a counselor who is right for you. Here's some of the info you might be looking for: I'm virtual only, am taking new clients, and am in network with Healthcare Highways, BCBS, United, and Aetna. I enjoy working with people who are breaking the cycle of childhood trauma - those who were abused or neglected, experienced distress from religion, or were bullied for being LGBTQ+ and want to make a change in the way they view and interact with the world. This can include problems in friendships and partnerships, disordered eating, or trouble with work/school.

It isn’t random issues that create problems as much as patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Hopeless depression, alarming anxiety, mental disorder or substance abuse cloud the present and the future. When our mental health is in disrepair and collapse feels imminent, setting a new course seems impossible. The pleasures and certainty of life seem lost. Like restoring old furniture, it takes a commitment to revision friendships and family, or perhaps a job, until deterioration is replaced with a narrative of renewal. We can take time to restore healthy, confident hopes and positive plans to achieve an exceptional life.

It is difficult to navigate the things that life throws at us. We can easily feel alone and very overwhelmed amongst all the chaos and stress. We all have needs and we all want our lives to improve for the better. Seeking any form of help can be very hard (especially for men). However, it is a very brave and courageous step.

I believe true growth takes time and support. I have always been passionate about helping others. I worked with domestic violence victims for years and felt I was being led to do more in the mental health field. There has always been a negative stigma around mental health and my goal is to help individuals see it takes a strong person to reach out for help.

I am licensed in OK and AR and offer virtual and in-person appointments. I believe taking on life's day-to-day stressors can sometimes feel overwhelming and uncontrollable. Which leads us to feel anxious, sad, and frustrated which further impacts our ability to balance each facet of our lives. It is during these strenuous times that counseling may benefit you in creating clarity and encouragement through the chaos. As a counselor, it is my privilege to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to process these concerns.

It is my strong belief that therapy is not just about coming into a boring room for an hour, dumping your soul out to someone you barely know, and then leaving. Therapy should be conducted in an environment that is pleasing to all of one's senses. When we meet, what you will get is a therapeutic experience that will be mentally, physically, and emotionally comforting for the entire time you are here. Taking this first step into making your mental health a priority can be terrifying, but it is my ultimate goal to make the transition as smooth as possible.

We all experience challenges and opportunities to grow and emerge stronger. I believe most humans instinctively move toward higher ground. Sometimes we need someone to walk alongside us who can help keep hope kindled and discover new, less painful, costly routes on the climb. I've had the privilege to journey with clients for over 25 years. My passion is working with those who've been marginalized or who experience themselves on the edges of community. I love witnessing clients do hard things, sit in difficult places, and face what scares them most.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I work with people who come from all sorts of beliefs systems about sex. Some see sex as something just reserved for marriage while others have a more casual, open approach to their sexual relationships. No matter the values you have, it is possible for sex to become something that causes us pain. This pain might be physical-or it might be emotional, leading us to feel sad, anxious, or disconnected from our own body or relationships. Sometimes it is simply harder than it "should" be. The good news is, I have experience in helping people like you find healing in their relationships with sex.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
