Life can be a struggle at times. I have great respect for anyone who's willing to be vulnerable during the therapeutic process so they can meet their goals. I have devoted my life to helping people heal & bring balance back to their lives. I provide individual therapy.

I've worked with clients to successfully address a wide variety of challenges related to interpersonal, home, family, & romantic relationships.

(6/15/21: Temporarily not taking new clients.) Sometimes the winds-of-change blow through our lives, taking us down unfamiliar paths or through difficult, unwanted, or foreign terrain. These challenges can be painful and disruptive; however, they can also be "trailheads to inner peace". I'd like to guide you on your path of healing as you seek empowerment, growth, or insight in a particular area of your life. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, an Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and Consultant with over 40 years of combined experience in counseling and integrated therapy.

Life is pretty good about throwing us curve balls. Sometimes, these curve balls can be devastating. They can impact our daily lives, our relationships, how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to help people work through challenging events in their life and make the changes that are important to them. I have enjoyed working as a Counselor for over 10yrs and have worked with people from many different backgrounds and cultures. During this time, I have had experience working with children, adolescents, families and couples.

Life can be full of obstacles, large and small. Often, we are able to navigate them well and move on. Other times, however, we can get caught up in them, knocked off course, and stuck. It is in these times that therapy can be especially helpful in adjusting thinking, learning new skills, and managing intense emotions. Gaining insight is powerful and often the first step to lasting change. My ideal client is anyone who is ready for change; anyone ready for the hard and immensely rewarding work of therapy. You don't have to remain stuck living a life that does not bring you meaning and purpose. There is hope! Lives can be changed!

My goal as your therapist is to provide an honest and encouraging atmosphere to help you navigate through life's highs and lows. I will help you build upon your own unique set of strengths in order to confront problems and overcome obstacles. I will listen to you in a nonjudgmental manner and we will work to smooth out the worry and confusion that life can throw at you. Working together in a relationship of trust and sharing I can help you set a new course in life where you can achieve self-fulfillment and awareness.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals, couples and families in a private practice setting. I work with adults and adolescents serving the greater Oklahoma City area. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am passionate about psychology and my work as a therapist. I love knowing how the mind works, how our emotions respond and what we are able to do with the strength of our mind. My education in Counseling Psychology allows me to offer various therapies and techniques designed to meet the needs of individuals, couples and families.

Have you ever had difficulty navigating through the difficulties of life? We all have. I offer a safe space to discuss and explore the difficulties you may be facing. I have a background of working with individuals that have struggled with trauma, addiction, and legal issues. I would love to offer you a safe space on your journey.

Accepting new clients: FALL 2023! At my core, I believe that play is an essential part of a human interaction. This is because I wholeheartedly believe that play should not end at a certain age, or when a child is “too old”. From a young age, play is how we learn boundaries and social skills. Play can also be used to process trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and much more. Play therapy can help build trust and attachment with your child, while the both of you learn more helpful behaviors and how to express your emotions. I encourage a child’s caregivers to take an active role in the therapeutic process.

** No openings at this time. Waitlist option available at www.lilyfield.org/counseling ** I believe that we are shaped, but not defined by our experiences, and that having a safe and supportive place to process those experiences can be healing. Humans are built for connection, and my goal is to help clients reach a place where they feel connected to their authentic selves and are able to connect with those who are important to them. I seek to empower my clients by helping them make sense of their history, imagine what a hopeful future might look like, and realize the great resources they already have access to within themselves.

If you want a therapist dedicated to helping you and/or your marriage who will challenge you and the ways you do things with directness, humor, honesty, and care, please give me a call. I can help if you are willing to take an honest look into yourself and your patterns and dedicate yourself to changing. As your therapist I will help you find ways to break through your limiting patterns and beliefs so you can move forward and live the life and have the relationship you want. Warning: my therapy is not easy and not for everyone, as it is challenging and requires humility and courage to do the hard work of changing.

Welcome! It is my mission to help you find the hope, understanding, and support needed for wellness. As a licensed Marital and Family Therapist, I have dedicated myself to offering culturally-sensitive services. I also have experience working with individuals with various mental health challenges.  My therapy approach is rooted in the systems framework that recognizes how relationships can impact an individual’s well-being. My journey with clients begins with constructing personalized therapy plans tailored toward helping them find hope & support so they can learn to manage life effectively.

I understand how life can seem chaotic and lonely. Knowing we are not alone can be one of the most freeing acknowledgments. However, I appreciate how complex challenges can be so the step towards freedom is not always the easiest. I don’t intend to change you. Instead, I will work with you as you get closer to where you want to be. I view the world through a faith-based lens and create a judgment-free environment. My desire is to meet you where you are and to help you move forward during challenging times.

After over 20 years as a psychologist, I have moved to a completely online practice. While this format may not be appropriate or comfortable for all people, for many it can be a great resource. Perhaps you live in an area of Oklahoma that makes it difficult for you to access services, or you want the convenience of meeting in the privacy of your home or office without spending to time going back and forth to a different location. The online format for therapy has been shown to be therapeutically effective, and it can be a great vehicle for forming a strong, caring therapeutic alliance that is the basis for future growth.

Navigating various relationships, life transitions, trauma, parenting issues, or a crisis in life can be extremely challenging. In overwhelming times, we often struggle to find the authentic support we seek through our journey. The choice to pursue healing and personal growth through counseling takes a tremendous amount of courage, and I greatly value and appreciate each interaction with my clients for this strength. It is my privilege to provide a safe, accepting and warm environment where we travel alongside each other in your unique experience.
