Hello
It's nice to meet you.
I am a Professional Licensed Counselor in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience. I provide therapy services for people who have experienced childhood trauma, relationship disruptions, life stressors, as well as parental and postpartum experiences. Therapy is a space where rather than asking "What is wrong with you?" we can answer the question "What happened to you?" The journey of healing, self-discovery, and self-awareness means exploring what coping skills are still beneficial and which ones might no longer serve their purpose. I help people who feel stuck in old patterns, professionals burned out from giving too much, and anyone carrying the weight of past trauma who wants to finally feel at peace in their own skin. My goal is to help you feel calmer in your body, more confident in your decisions, and more connected to the people you love. Therapy isn’t just about healing the past, it’s about creating a future where you feel free, steady, and genuinely yourself.
My approach is warm and down to earth with a heavy focus on attachment, trauma, relationship dynamics, grief, human development, perinatal and postpartum work.
​
Finding the right fit with a therapist is important. I invite you to schedule a free consultation so we can connect to see if I am a good fit for you.
Clinical Training & Approach
I spent a large part of my career working with infants, toddlers, and their parents, and now enjoy working with adults via Telehealth. My earlier work with young children has allowed me to have a strong ability to understand complex families, complicated histories, struggles in relationships, trauma, and grief. If you choose to work with me, we'll spend time understanding what happened before today to bring you to this point in your life, while also addressing your the immediate stressors. My hope is that through our work together, you'll both resolve the struggle you are experiencing today, but also be able to prevent related problems in the future.
