Hope Anchors the Soul​

Living in a broken world can sometimes leave us feeling like broken people. Grief, loss, depression, anxiety, uncertainty, and so much more can pile up and keep us from seeing our true worth. By seeking help, you are taking those first steps in recognizing that there is so much more in store for you. I have spent many years working with people to overcome life’s challenges and find new growth even through the pain. I look forward to walking this journey with you toward rediscovering hope.

​

Every person enters the room with unique gifts, perspectives, beliefs, experiences, and expectations. As a result, each therapeutic journey will also be unique. I will work with you to discover your strengths and challenge your doubts. We will develop a plan designed to achieve the outcomes that matter most to you. Change isn’t easy, and growth can be uncomfortable, but I assure you the investment will be worth it.

My Background

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Michigan as well as a Bachelor of Science from Oklahoma Christian University. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Oklahoma. I spent many years as a hospice social worker before transitioning into private practice. I am EMDR-certified and an EMDR consultant-in-training, I also teach and provide trainings on specialized topics.

​

I have extensive experience working with people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. My counseling experience includes grief and loss, trauma, anxiety disorders, coping with terminal or chronic illnesses, and depression. I specialize in twin loss and childbearing losses (miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, etc).

 

My Approach & Philosophy

My approach to counseling is strengths-based and largely influenced by EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. I firmly believe in integrating skills and techniques from multiple therapeutic philosophies to best fit your needs and talents.  I also incorporate faith-based counseling when requested.
