Grief counselors and therapists in Norman, OK

My approach is compassionate, practical, and personalized to each client’s goals. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and performance while building skills they can use in everyday life and under pressure.

Depending on your needs, we may work on focus and concentration, visualization and imagery, stress management, performance anxiety, goal-setting, emotional well-being, or recovery from difficult experiences. I also incorporate EMDR when appropriate and tailor our work to help you feel more confident, prepared, and capable both on and off the field.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and the power to write their own future. I have over ten years experience in the mental health field and have been a licensed therapist for five years. I work with all age groups and like to meet individuals where they are, and walk with them through their journey to better mental health.

I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in trauma-informed care. I support individuals in building self-determination and addressing maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Hola, me alegro estás aquí. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma who works with individuals and families navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use, and family-related challenges.

If life feels overwhelming, relationships feel strained, or past experiences are still affecting your present, you don’t have to carry that alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to better understand what’s going on and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help you feel safer, stronger, and more in control of your life moving forward.

It takes courage to reach out for help! Showing up that first time may be the hardest part of the journey. Being someone who has sat in that chair, I have a good idea how you are feeling. Being someone who has done her own personal work of therapy and helped hundreds of others with theirs, I also know how much better life can be! Emotional wounds can be heavy. Medication may help, but the feelings can make living feel like swimming with a shot put ball.

I strive to come alongside those struggling to provide support, education and encouragement. I have worked with clients from age 5 to 103, and what I have found to be most important is the connection (or the “fit.”) You need a therapist you can bring your authentic self to. You are hiring me to do a job, to help you think, feel, and behave better. I want that for you, even if it is not me, so never be afraid to interview a few therapists before deciding! After all, if it is me, I will be in your corner and I will challenge you, at the same time. You want to know you chose wisely for yourself.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Oklahoma working with individuals who are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are highly functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain underneath. I provide a supportive, grounded space where you can slow down, sort through what is going on and begin moving forward with clarity. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I enjoy helping others gain knowledge and an understanding of themselves; helping manage their thoughts and emotions; gaining peace and improved relationships in their lives. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

I was born and raised in Chicago, and my early years were shaped by challenges that taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of being truly heard. Those experiences didn’t define me, but they deeply influenced my desire to help others express their feelings, identify their emotions, and process their pain with dignity.

With over 14+ years of counseling experience, I bring loyalty, compassion, and a steady presence to every session. I believe in creating a non‐judgment zone where people can show up exactly as they are. My values guide the way I care for clients — with grace, integrity, and a genuine love for people. My eclectic approach allows me to use CBT, behavioral techniques, and other modalities to meet each person’s unique needs.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor passionate about helping clients move past what's holding them back from being their best selves. I am a proud alumnus of North Carolina Central University (B.A.) and Nova Southeastern University (M.S., Mental Health Counseling). I welcome clients from all walks of life and every stage of the journey, whether you're new to therapy or returning. Together, we identify what isn't working, build on what is, and create a path toward real, lasting change. My goal is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and equipped to move forward.
