Listen without defending and speak without offending

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a certified school psychologist. I have experience working with school aged children of a wide range of disabilities. I have a Bachelors of psychology and a Masters in psychological studies , both from East Central University. Healing my own trauma helped me find passion to help and advocate for others. I believe true growth takes time and support.

I love working with teenagers and adults to help navigate this unpredictable world. Life is hard and we are here to aid when it becomes too overwhelming. I allow client guided sessions to support exactly what is trivial in your life; as well as CBT. It is important for you to feel in control and to have a say in the therapeutic process. I offer individual, family, and couples counseling with a wide range of ages.   

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from Oklahoma State University and a Masters of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Central Oklahoma and a second Masters of Arts degree in School Counseling with 30 additional hours applying towards the LPC from the University of Central Oklahoma. As a LPC I know that throughout life everyone experiences a time where they feel powerless and out of control. i believe it is important to empower clients by giving them the tools to meet their personal goals. I want to empower the client so they understand that they have the ability to control how they cope or react to these life circumstances. The atmosphere of each session offers a safe empathetic and nonjudgmental place for clients to feel safe through their healing process. I hope to inspire in each of client confidence and innate resiliency that I believe is in each of us. I have a passion for working with young children and teenagers as they struggle to define their identities and search for the place where they fit in best. My other passion and area of expertise lies in dealing with relationship issues, grief, and trauma. This includes marital issues, parent/child, and blended families working through relationship conflict.   

 I am a licensed professional counselor and certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have a Master's degree in counseling from The Southern Nazarene University. I care for every client as an individual, keeping in mind that they each have their own unique struggles and experiences that have brought them here. I offer a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential environment for the client to feel respected and valued during this process. I am compassionate and caring, and enjoy working with clients to set attainable goals to be able to work through their current struggles. I want the client to feel comfortable to explore their thoughts and feelings as I assist them on this Journey. I provide individual and family counseling services to adults, adolescents, and children. I have experience working with clients who struggle with a wide range of difficulties. I encourage all of my clients to work towards open communication so they can begin to build themselves up and in the process pushing themselves to reach their goals.  

In this dog eat dog world, I find that most people need someone that will provide a nonjudgmental environment. In this environment a safe place to meet the client where they are at. Psychological services provided that are a collaborative of ideas and goals from the client and myself. Treatment and skills structured to the individual specifically. Clients being empowered and able to explore and make positive changes to live the best life possible. 

My education background is from East Central University with a Master of Arts in psychological services. I am an evidence-based counselor with a focus in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and parent child interaction therapy (PCIT). However, I will use the best approach for the client based on their needs. My experience and joy includes working with all ages of clients from different backgrounds.
