If you are tired of ruminating, done thinking about past shoulda/coulda/woulda’s, and done with playing the “what if” game in the future…then we can work together to increase living in the present moment. The first time we meet, there will be a full psychological evaluation and then after that will be regular talk therapy.

About:
Originally from Austin, Texas…I began my counseling journey at a young age..in a weird way. As a 5th grader in elementary school, the one I attended, had a peer mediation program. I learned communication skills early and continue to learn new things. I knew then I would pursue psychology and my intention never changed. Did it go like I planned? No, but I decided I’m good without any more letters around my name. I moved to Oklahoma in 2013 to be close to family that lives here and pursue becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. I open the doors to my sole proprietor private practice on 4/1/2016. I also pursued dual licensure in Massachusetts to expand the area I am able to serve so I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor able to meet online with Massachusetts residents. Being self employed allows me to make time instead of constantly trying to find it. I will make time for you. 

Interests: I enjoy working with adults and adolescents. I excel working with survivors of childhood abuse as well as chronic suicidal ideations and other self-destructive behaviors. Rather than seeing someone as “resistant” if not improving, it means I am not using my skills in the most helpful way and if I am unable to assist, we will find you someone who can. There is no such thing as a resistant or uncooperative client. 
My outside of work interests include gardening, camping, baking, going on walks, real time strategy gaming (Minecraft), and hanging with my family and friends be it online or in person.

Why choose me as your counselor? I provide complete confidentiality for self-pay consumers and offer a discrete location as well as telehealth services. Working with me will be different from other counseling experiences as I have over a decade of experience as well as unique perspective. I utilize evidence based methods including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavioral techniques, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy techniques.
