- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in Oklahoma with extensive experience supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and anger management concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey and values.
I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, and work through isolation, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I also support those facing panic attacks, PTSD, social anxiety, relationship transitions, attachment challenges, and caregiver stress. Whether you're processing workplace difficulties, women's issues, young adult transitions, or family-of-origin patterns, I'm here to help you build resilience and clarity.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to address co-occurring challenges, codependency, mood disorders, and life purpose questions. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients work through abandonment fears, control issues, self-harm urges, and the complexities of infidelity and separation.
My style is person-centered and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and worldview, and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace, connection, and wholeness. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you.

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.
