Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Broken Arrow, OK

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. In therapy, I believe you deserve to feel heard and valued as you work toward your goals. I aim to maintain a safe, collaborative space where you're free to express yourself fully, explore the difficulties you've been carrying, and grow in ways guided by your values and strengths.

I am trained in and provide Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Filial Therapy, and I’m a Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, relaxed space where you are in control. My approach is laid back and client-led, allowing you to dictate the direction of your therapy based on what feels most important to you. I don’t come in with a rigid agenda or a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, I’m here to listen, support, and gently guide you as you work toward the areas of growth and healing you want to focus on. Together, we’ll move at your pace, building insight, skills, and confidence in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. Evening and Saturday appointment available.

Hi! I'm glad you are here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with all ages and can help with most things, especially anxiety, depression, and life stress. You will be seen, valued, and understood.

You may be the person everyone turns to, the one who keeps going no matter what, but inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, questioning your choices, repeating the same relationship patterns, or wondering why certain emotions keep resurfacing. I work with adults who are ready to slow down, understand themselves more deeply, and create a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University and have a strong psychodynamic foundation that guides my work. I support clients navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My goal is to offer a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported as we make sense of your story together.

l've spent almost all of my adult life working in the public behavioral health field: Eight years at a Community Mental Health Center and 30 years for the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health. Working for the state taught me the overwhelming need for compassionate mental health services in our state, along with the enormous resilience of our citizens.

As a child of the 70's, I:

Have seen enormous cultural changes in my life;

Am a parent of a blended family and grandparent;

Have been divorced and remarried;

Have an adult grandchild living with my wife and I;

Have lost loved ones;

Have been a caregiver;

Am a cancer survivor;

Am (mostly) a retiree;

Have been burned out at my job.

In short, I am a human who has gone through much of what most of us have gone through.

It would be my honor to explore with you what will help you make the most out of your life.
