About
Socrates taught that we have all the answers within our innermost selves; we just need to ask or be asked the right questions. I approach therapy in much the same way, and I hope to serve as a guide on yourjourney towardsa deeper understanding of yourself.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have extensive experience working with adults in crisis, including those navigating severe mental illness, suicidal ideation, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders. My clinical background includes work in psychiatric hospital settings, providing intensive therapeutic support.
I hold a master’s in counseling psychology from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. My eclectic approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. I am open-minded and nonjudgmental, and I incorporate humor into sessions when appropriate to help build connection and ease difficult conversations.
I consider it a privilege to support individuals as they move through their healing journey. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward meaningful change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I invite you to schedule an appointment to get started.

I understand the strength it takes to keep going while supporting a military family, and I bring that same compassion and resilience to the way I walk alongside my clients in therapy.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I help clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted reconnect with their strengths, build clarity, and move toward emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of direction.
I earned my master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from Langston University. My work draws from trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and integrative strategies to help clients build coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.
You deserve a space where you feel supported, understood, and valued. Reaching out takes courage, and you do not have to navigate this journey alone. I would be honored to walk with you as you work toward healing, growth, and a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My goal with DBT is to assist individuals in working through challenges with anxiety, anger, and bothersome thoughts.
The use of educational tools such as grounding skills worksheets and physical aids is a helpful way for individuals to maximize the benefits of DBT.
I know when individuals achieving success through self-reports of decreased bothersome feelings and behaviors.
Clients can practice treatment interventions and review skills sheets regularly.
An individual can prepare for DBT by understanding what it is they hope to achieve, such as decreased anxiety, improved personal relationships, and a decrease in bothersome thoughts and behaviors.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Oklahoma City, OK is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
