Do you feel…
Unloveable or unworthy?
Out of control of addictive behaviors?
High levels of anxiety or depression impacting your life and relationships?
Longing for healthier relationships or a stronger sense of self?
Do you desire a deep sense of well-being, goodness, and peace but find those experiences are elusive? No matter how hard you try, you feel anxious, angry, disconnected from the people you love, distant from your own emotions, paralyzed, and exhausted with all the effort. Life can be incredibly difficult at times, and no one should have to face those struggles alone. My goal as a counselor is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I believe healing begins when someone feels accepted exactly where they are, so I strive to meet every client with empathy, patience, and respect.
I work with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with relationship issues, feelings of abandonment, low self-worth, anxiety, unhealthy habits, or patterns of self-sabotage. Many of my clients carry deep feelings of being unloved or not good enough, which can lead to painful cycles in relationships and life decisions. Together, we work to break those patterns and build a healthier sense of identity, confidence, and hope for the future.
MY BACKGROUND AND APPROACH
I graduated from University of Kentucky with a Master of Social Work. For clients who desire it, I am also comfortable incorporating faith into the counseling process. I believe that hope, grace, and purpose are powerful parts of healing, and many clients find strength in exploring these areas alongside evidence-based therapeutic tools.
My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real solutions. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I also teach practical tools like coping skills, mindfulness, healthy boundaries, and ways to recognize both personal strengths and areas for growth. These skills help clients build stronger relationships and live more fulfilling lives.
Clients often tell me they feel safe opening up in our sessions. I deeply respect the courage it takes to reach out for help, and I want you to know that showing up is already a powerful first step forward. One of the greatest joys of my work is watching clients begin to believe in themselves again, learning to love who they are, build healthy relationships, and step into the life they were meant to live.
Therapy with me is
-
Safe
Aiming to create an environment where you feel secure, understood, and free to express yourself without fear of judgment or repercussion.
-
Challenging
Gently calling out inconsistencies or discrepancies in your thoughts or behaviors to encourage self-reflection and growth. I also suggest alternative perspectives to move the therapeutic process forward.
-
Holistic
Focusing on the “whole” person and integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself on all these levels.
We all want to feel safe and supported in therapy and we also want to see change. I am experienced in working with clients to see the change they desire in their lives in a variety of issues. I focus my practice on working with kids, teens, and adults, individually or in groups.

FAQs

In Oklahoma, LCSW-P means that I have completed all my education required by the Board of Licensed Social Workers. I describe this similar to a resident in the medical field. All licensed social workers in the state of Oklahoma are required to gain 3000 hours of supervised experience before they are able to be considered fully licensed. I currently meet weekly with a licensed and Board approved supervisor to review my caseload.

As an LCSW-P, I can file with BCBS & Aetna Commercial Insurance utilizing Supervisory Billing. My cash pay rate is $125 per session. I have some reserved spots for sliding scale fees for clients who may need it due to financial hardship.
However, our graduate interns are happy to match your insurance copay, so your out-of-pocket cost remains the same as if you were using your insurance. -
A session with me is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to see your story with greater clarity. Together, we explore how outside influences and relationships may be shaping your experiences, helping you better understand patterns that no longer serve you.
Clients leave sessions feeling more empowered to set healthy boundaries, use practical coping skills, and incorporate mindfulness into their daily lives. Most importantly, they walk away feeling safe, heard, supported—and more confident in their ability to take back control of their lives.
I encourage clients to bring their full range of emotions to our time together. Tears, fears, anger, and laughter are all welcome.

My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply rooted in my faith and sense of calling. I believe the Lord led me to this work through my own experiences of hurt, grief, and trauma. Over time, I’ve seen how God can transform our messes into meaningful messages—stories that bring healing, encouragement, and hope to others.
There was a time in my life when I didn’t have a safe space to share my struggles. I didn’t feel fully seen or heard. That experience shaped my heart for this work. Today, I am committed to being that safe, compassionate presence for children, teens, and adults who need someone to truly listen.
Every story matters. Your story matters. My hope is that through our work together, you not only feel heard and valued, but also begin to see the light of hope ahead—and believe that healing is possible.
It’s your turn to get the help you deserve.
