About
Life has handed me my fair share of struggles, and because of that, I feel I can help others overcome their pain.
I am an LPC with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in both community-based settings and private practice, supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
I earned my master’s degree in community counseling from the University of Oklahoma. My clinical approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, and I am trauma-trained. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs while providing practical tools to support emotional growth and long-term change.
I am dedicated to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful goals. Together, we will build strategies to help you navigate life with greater confidence, resilience, and clarity. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.

My go-to approaches for helping people in family therapy are strengthening open communication and staying focused on the family's strengths rather than individual problems.
I teach the following tools in family therapy: positive communication skills, healthy family dynamics, family gratitude, and connectedness.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when families reduce the frequency of conflict and increase meaningful engagement with one another.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy by engaging in exercises and activities provided.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can think of 3 goals they would like to achieve that would improve overall relationship satisfaction within the family system.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Oklahoma City, OK usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Oklahoma City, OK offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Family members are usually so close emotionally that it’s hard to disentangle from a conflict and find the insights necessary to find resolution. Sometimes family issues require an unbiased outsider’s guidance and perspective. That’s where family therapy at Thriveworks in Oklahoma City, OK can help.
