As a licensed therapist in Oklahoma, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction, with a deep commitment to LGBTQ+ affirming care. I work closely with clients experiencing challenges around self-love, communication, social anxiety, isolation, and life transitions.
My approach centers on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I have extensive experience supporting men, veterans, first responders, and individuals dealing with relationship dynamics, substance use, and family challenges.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients build resilience, improve interpersonal skills, and rediscover their sense of purpose. Whether you're struggling with guilt, shame, body image, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
