Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worked licensed in both Oklahoma and Virginia. I received my Masters from Arizona State University and have been practicing for 5 years. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked over 30 years as an educator. I enjoy helping all people struggling with career stress, trauma and burnout. I want everyone to become the best versions of themselves.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a former educator, I think my greatest strengths as a provider lies in knowing that being successful means seeing results. Having worked with families for many years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
EMDR has been effective for treating trauma and PTSD. I guide client through recalling distressing events while performing bilateral stimulation which helps my clients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
CBT focuses on identifying and challenging irrational or negative thoughts that contribute to anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. I work with clients to recognize these patterns and understand their impact on emotions and behaviors.
Grief therapy help clients navigate with the emotional and psychological challenges associated with loss. Whether the loss involves a loved one, a relationship, a job or any other significant life change.
Family therapy helps resolve conflicts and enhance the overall functioning of family systems.
Gender-affirming therapy helps my clients navigate the complex emotional, social and physical aspect of their gender experience.
