Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) based in Oklahoma with a Master’s degree from Capella University and five years of experience in the field. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges related to stress, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and parenting issues. My compassionate and collaborative approach empowers clients to find practical solutions, healing, and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, supportive space for everyone to explore their concerns and reach their goals.
In our first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and confidential environment where we begin building trust and rapport. We’ll go over the reasons that brought you to therapy, any specific goals or concerns you have, and a bit about your personal history and current life situation. I’ll explain my approach to therapy and answer any questions you may have to help you feel comfortable with the process. Together, we’ll set the groundwork for our work ahead, ensuring that our sessions align with your needs and objectives.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe and empathetic space for clients to express themselves, my trauma-informed approach, and my commitment to working collaboratively with clients toward their goals. I am highly attuned to each person’s unique needs and adapt my methods to best support their healing and growth. My diverse background in various therapeutic approaches allows me to offer flexibility whether a client requires structured interventions like CBT or a more exploratory, insight-driven approach like psychodynamic therapy. My compassion, patience, and dedication to each client’s journey set me apart in fostering lasting change.
I serve clients who are navigating the challenges of trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. My approach is centered on creating a safe, empathetic environment that allows clients to explore their experiences without judgment. I work with individuals who are ready to understand and process past traumas, develop coping strategies for anxiety and depressive symptoms, and rebuild a positive self-image. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, improve their mental health, and foster a greater sense of self-worth and confidence in their daily lives.
My approach emphasizes creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can process trauma at their own pace, fostering empowerment, choice, and trust.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
In my practice, I use PCIT to guide parents in building strong, positive connections with their children while also managing challenging behaviors.
I use psychoanalytic techniques to help clients gain insight into underlying issues, such as childhood experiences or internalized beliefs, that may contribute to present-day challenges.
I use psychodynamic techniques to help clients identify and understand these deeper influences, bringing greater awareness to recurring patterns in their lives.
