Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Norman, OK

About Me

Hello and welcome. You don't need to have everything figured out before seeking help. We can start where you are, identify what's getting in the way, and develop a path toward where you want to be.

The answers may be closer than you think.

I bring over 18 years of clinical counseling experience and graduate education in Christian Counseling, Rehabilitation Psychology, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology. My training extends to Family-Divorce Mediation, and Guardian Ad Litem applications although I am not an attorney in order to assist with the complexities of mental health challenges in divorce, custody and seperation contexts. For those seeking to restore their relationship, my Gottman relationship training focuses on helping distressed couples improve communication, reconnect, repair relationship injuries, and explore reconciliation.

My experience includes working within private practice, psychiatric hospitals, dual-diagnosis and residential programs, healthcare, and military settings. I have supported attorneys, doctors, police officers, engineers, CEO's, professional and paraprofessional workers, college students, educators, health care professionals, and veterans and active-duty service members and military families.

I work with couples, adults, seniors, adolescents, veterans, and professionals facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, men's issues, workplace stress, life transitions, and faith-related concerns.

My approach is compassionate, practical, collaborative, and solution-focused. Together, we identify patterns contributing to distress, develop practical skills, strengthen healthy coping, and work toward meaningful change.

I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, United HealthCare, Optum, Medicare, TRICARE, and many other insurance plans. Coverage can be verified before services begin.

So you're considering therapy. Kudos for taking the first step! You should know that I have a clinical mental health counseling degree and five years of clinical experience. I also work primarily with teens and adults.

As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and build a life worth celebrating.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families understand and resolve current challenges by exploring the long-standing patterns and perceptions that may be holding you back.

By integrating complementary therapy techniques, I provide a supportive space to work through difficult situations and move toward a more fulfilling future."

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience.I work with adults who may be dealing with anxiety, trauma, substance use, chronic health challenges, cultural or identity-related stress, family issues, grief, and relationship struggles. Some of my clients feel constantly on edge, stuck in survival mode, emotionally drained, or overwhelmed by stress that never seems to let up. Others may be coping with painful experiences, using substances to get through the day, carrying grief that feels heavy, or trying to manage the emotional toll of chronic conditions on their mood, energy, and relationships. I also support clients who are navigating questions around identity, cultural stress, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else.

I refer to myself as a person who holds people’s pain for a living, whatever that pain may be. I believe I am very good at what I do. I am a compassionate guide who navigates others on their path to the best they can possibly be.

I’m a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. My style is warm, supportive, and down‐to‐earth—I believe real healing happens when you feel safe to be yourself. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you find practical ways to manage stress, build confidence, and move forward. My goal is to meet you where you are and work together toward a calmer, more balanced life. I do not prescribe medication.

As a seasoned therapist of 20 years, my experience has allowed me to work in various facets of mental health, including home-based therapy, residential care, school, inpatient and an outpatient clinic setting. I have treated all ages, from little ones to geriatric adults. For over the past decade, my treatment focus has been working with marginalized communities dealing with significant trauma and chronic health issues. I believe there is no problem that is too big or too insignificant, that therapy can’t help.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have a passion for helping people work through life's challenges, assisting them in reaching their full potential, and figuring out what it is that they most want from life. I believe that being heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are is where healing begins.
