*TAKING NEW CLIENTS* Taking the first step to come in to counseling can feel scary, especially if this is your first time. I want every client I see to feel safe, comfortable, and heard. My approach to therapy is very down-to-earth, professional, non-judgmental, and warm. You are driving the car, and I am simply helping point out the road signs. I see women from all walks of life struggling with a variety or life stressors from depression, to life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, and any other issue that could be a road block to living a fulfilling and positive life.

I believe in taking a holistic approach to counseling. Since most issues are interrelated, positive change in one area begins a ripple effect of change in others. My training and over 25 years of clinical experience is diverse, including issues related to relationship problems, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. In addition, I offer women's groups and individualized anger management. Since 1995, as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma, I've taught courses on: Understanding Addictions, Chemical Dependency, Human Emotions, Stress Management and Advanced Counseling Skills.

You don't have to be "crazy" to seek counseling. Some people are just stuck and need some help getting back on track. Others are at a point in life they're not sure what to do next, so they come to figure that out. Some people have relationship problems in the family or at work, and want help to work through it. Some have emotional problems, or are haunted by past events and want to break free of them. Still others are wanting to grow and develop a clearer sense of purpose, or gain a stronger sense of spirituality.

I belief that unforeseen, overwhelming and almost debilitating circumstances happen to people but, I also belief that people can overcome and take back control of their lives with the appropriate help. I want to help make a lasting difference in people's lives. Helping people navigate through their challenges in life gives me joy and satisfaction. I have been doing this for more than 20 years- as a Special Education Teacher, School administrator, and now as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have success working with people dealing with anxiety, depression, mental health, relationship issues, parenting or other behavioral issues.

**Only accepting psychological testing clients** Do you wish you could change something about your life? I am a licensed clinical & sport psychologist who helps individuals create change in their lives. I understand the difficulties of initially seeking help, and provide services in a safe and non-judging manner. I provide individual and family counseling, ADHD and learning disability evaluations, and performance psychology for athletes and performers.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Anyone can dream, but it takes true courage to look inside ourselves and begin the journey of awakening. I would love the opportunity to guide you in your journey of self-discovery. As a therapist I will provide you with a safe and accepting environment that fosters growth and supports you while you transform the vision of the life you were always meant to live into a reality. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Carl Jung
