- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Oklahoma, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges with compassion and expertise. My practice focuses on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those experiencing stress, anxiety, and relationship dynamics.
I bring deep understanding to issues surrounding self-love, communication challenges, social anxiety, and personal growth. My approach centers on helping clients explore their unique experiences, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate greater emotional resilience.
With extensive experience supporting diverse populations, I'm committed to addressing a wide range of concerns—from workplace stress and life transitions to identity exploration and interpersonal relationships. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering non-judgmental guidance that honors individual strengths and experiences.
My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and personalized support. I'm dedicated to walking alongside clients as they navigate their most challenging moments and discover pathways toward healing and self-understanding.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My all time favorite therapist he’s so kind always hears me never judge me for my actions always responds on time
Brian has been a great listener so far I’ve only had two sessions with him. But he has really been there for me in the last couple of weeks via chat. And has provided me with some resources and worksheets that have gave me great tips.
I’ve only had one session with him but he seems like a very kind and understanding person.
Brian works well for me.
Brian is the real deal. He’s compassionate and very knowledgeable. I feel am in my safe space when we talk.
Pretty good so far
