As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe good mental health is paramount for a stable and happy life. Congratulations on taking the first step in seeking help for your mental health! I’ve been practicing for 3 years with my main focus now on female clients aged 15-55 who are struggling with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.

I hold a master's degree in counseling and I'm licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC), with certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I've worked across agency and private practice settings with a wide range of clients, which showed me early on how much this work can support people in very different seasons of life.

My focus is on relationships: with a partner, with yourself, or with people you've never quite felt close to. I work with individuals, teens, and couples, and I'm EMDR-trained and Gottman Level 1 Trained for that work. Whether someone is feeling disconnected from a partner, unsure how to make decisions without worrying what everyone else thinks, or carrying anxiety and stress that's built up over time, my approach centers on figuring out, together, what isn't working and how to shift it in a way that actually fits their life.

I have nearly 30 years of professional work as a LMFT. I completed graduate school at Oklahoma State University. I believe I will never be more of an expert in your life than you are. Yes, I have education and experience that is helpful, but that does not make me more of an expert in your life than you are. I approach working with people with respect and curiosity to learn specific details about their lives that are unique to them.
