ABOUT ME

I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Oklahoma.  I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma, my Master's Degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and completed my practicum and supervision working with young people in the Community At Risk (CARS) Program, as well as with families and adults in the Logan County area. After several years outside of Edmond, I returned to invest my time and passion within my own community. 

I have worked in many different settings with people of all ages, ethnicities, orientations, and beliefs. I base my practice in cognitive behavior therapy but equally find value in both family systems and solution focused approaches. I believe its important to prioritize education, training and growth while providing services and building effective relationships through the use of evidence-based practices. 

​

The counseling experience can be challenging and rewarding. It is not unusual for a client to have started and stopped the process several times with several therapists before finding someone they feel safe working with. I value the relationships I share with clients and realize how special it is to be trusted with what are often the most sensitive and intimate details in a person's story to-date. I look forward to most days as an adventure with the goal to help create a renewed sense of hope and strength with clients as they find their own rhythm that moves them towards personal growth and insight. When we are hopeful, we take better care of ourselves, our resilience grows and we are more likely to participate in meaningful and connected relationships.

​

There is no place for judgement in therapy.  I am committed to providing a confidential environment free of all bias and judgement allowing you the safety and security to freely express yourself.  All sessions, whether in office or online, are a safe space for you to be you.
