As a licensed therapist in Oklahoma with two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for personal growth.
I focus on addressing challenges such as depression, anxiety, social isolation, and life transitions. My therapeutic work emphasizes building communication skills, enhancing self-esteem, and supporting individuals through periods of uncertainty and personal transformation.
My practice is grounded in compassionate, evidence-based techniques that honor each client's unique journey. I believe in creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rediscover their inner strength.
Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, family conflicts, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. Together, we can work towards healing, personal insight, and sustainable emotional well-being.

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.
