I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I have worked in the behavioral health field since the age of 21 and bring over 25 years of experience to my clinical practice. Throughout my career, I have supported children, adolescents, adults, and families in navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, panic disorders, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. My approach My emphasis is on empowerment, strength-based frameworks, and creative modalities. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), art & music therapy, narrative work, and more. I believe in tailoring each session to my clients’ unique needs. My focus I work with children, teens, adults, and families who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, panic, and relationship stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the future. I provide a safe and affirming space where they can process their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Whether you are seeking healing from the past or support with current struggles, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward growth and resilience. My communication style I communicate with warmth, honesty, and empathy. I listen actively and with care, while also challenging clients and, when needed, confronting them to help consider new perspectives and possibilities. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward.
