Grief counselors and therapists in Norman, OK

You have made a difficult decision to engage in therapy. I am here to help you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Change is hard — especially when you’re carrying trauma, family stress, or just the weight of everything life throws at you. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.

With over 15 years of experience across private practice and intensive settings, I’ve spent much of my career helping people through some of their toughest moments.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility and emotions they’ve been holding alone, some for a long time. They are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship stress, or trauma that keep showing up in current life in ways they don’t fully understand. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to themselves — not constantly reacting from fear, guilt, or survival mode. Their goal isn’t just to “cope,” but to actually heal and create a life that feels peaceful, balanced,and aligned with who they are. They want clarity — to understand what’s happening inside them and why.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Nationally Board-Certified Counselor, I hold a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, and a Doctoral Degree of Ministry. With a wealth of experience, I am committed to guiding you towards positive change. My mission is to equip individuals, couples, and families with the tools they need for success.

If you’re here, chances are you’re carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and maybe a quiet sense that something needs to shift. You don’t have to keep doing it all the hard way.

My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real-life change. Together, we’ll uncover the strengths you already have and build tools you can actually use—so you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and more in control of your life.

You won’t just talk about your stress—you’ll learn how to manage it. You’ll leave our work together with a clear plan for self-care, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection to what truly matters to you. My goal is for you to feel better, yes—but also to live better, with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.
