Accepting New Clients
Get To Know Me
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
I became passionate about helping others through chronic illness after my own struggle with various chronic illnesses that devastated and disrupted my life. I enjoy helping people find ways to manage their illness in a way that helps them live a life that is just as meaningful and purposeful in spite of their limitations and losses.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Success in therapy does not mean that life is now perfect and you have no issues. Instead, success looks like minimizing the amount of distress you are in and learning effective ways to manage whatever it was that brought you into therapy. Success in therapy often looks like having a healthier perspective about yourself or others, more hopeful about your situation and future, and better tools to manage stress and unforeseen circumstances in the future.
What does a first session with you look like?
The first session looks like just getting to know one another and what brings you into counseling. I usually like to ask questions that help me better understand the issue at hand, what you are looking for, what hasn't helped thus far, and what your goals are for counseling. I know seeking out help from a complete stranger can be anxiety-provoking and so I do my best to create a safe, calm, and supportive atmosphere.

Work HistoryUpon graduating with my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I spent many years working as a crisis therapist, answering phones for the national suicide line and working with first responders, medical, and school professionals to ensure those at immediate risk had access to mental health care. I then spent the next several years working at a college university providing counseling to University students in a faith-based setting. I have since opened up my own teletherapy practice where I provide both traditional and faith-based counseling to those living in Oklahoma and Texas. A few of my specialties and interests include treating issues of chronic illness, stress management, identity, relational concerns, and spirituality.
