Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Oklahoma City, OK covered by United Healthcare

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and my journey in the helping professions began long before I became a therapist. Prior to my counseling career, I owned and operated a franchise staffing agency, giving me valuable experience in career development and human connection.

As a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working in both residential and outpatient settings, as well as private practice. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and groups on their journey toward healing and growth.

Life has offered me a rich tapestry of experiences, blending personal challenges and blessings with professional knowledge. This blend enriches my approach and empathy as a therapist.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my wife, our two adult daughters, and our beloved dogs, Maggie, Matilda Maisy . I also enjoy golfing and traveling whenever possible. I’m a resourceful, straightforward, and inspiring professional who values goals, challenges, and overall well-being.

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.

Imagine what life would be like if you had the space to explore the nuances of the struggles you've been battling. Making the decision to seek professional help is probably one that you have been pondering over for awhile. I specialize in working with multicultural individuals, in particular with South Asian/Middle Eastern natives, as well as those affected by chronic illnesses, issues related to parenting, immigration, and spirituality.

I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than 15 years of licensed nursing experience, most of that in mental health care. My background includes inpatient psychiatry, outpatient care, geriatric mental health, and caring for people through different stages of life, so I’ve seen how mental health concerns can show up in very real, everyday ways.

Over the years, I’ve learned that people don’t always have the words for what they’re experiencing. Sometimes they just know something feels off. Maybe it’s constant worry, low energy, feeling overwhelmed, having trouble sleeping, or simply not feeling like themselves anymore. That’s where I come in.

I help adults understand what may be going on and find practical, effective ways to address it. Medication may be part of the plan when appropriate, but we also look at the bigger picture and talk through the options together. My goal is to make mental health care feel clear, approachable, and personal, not confusing or overwhelming.

I work with adults, teens, couples and families.

I have a private office in midtown Tulsa, and also offer telehealth sessions.

I am a clinical social worker committed to helping individuals achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life. I value the therapeutic relationship for the establishment of trust and comfort. My style involves a client-centered, genuine, non-judgemental approach to exploring and establishing goals. I believe you know who you are best, and you have the strength and power to achieve your goals.

I use a trauma informed lens in my practice with training in attachment styles, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
