Broken Arrow

Summary

Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) certified by the Oklahoma State Board of Behavioral Health, dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges and navigate complex problems. With 16 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, including 8 years as an LPC, I bring a wealth of expertise to the practice. Educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Oklahoma State University and a Master's degree in Human Relations and clinical mental health from the University of Oklahoma. Throughout the career, provided outpatient therapy services in various settings, such as in-home, community mental health, school-based counseling, and private contract therapy. Working with a diverse population, offers therapeutic services to individuals of all ages, couples, and families struggling with social, emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. Specializes in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and interpersonal conflicts. Additionally, possesses pragmatic skills in group and family systems therapy, focusing on improving dynamics, fostering healthy relationships, and resolving conflicts. Approach integrates multiple therapeutic modalities such as person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamics, solution-focused therapy, play therapy, and family therapy. By utilizing the process model of helping (PMH), which combines exploration, insight, and action with CBT, person-centered therapy, and psychodynamics, guides clients in examining their thoughts and feelings to promote personal growth and agency. Ultimately, my goal is to assist individuals in leading more meaningful and purposeful lives.
