About
As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have a unique perspective on how life can be overwhelming and difficult, but how empowering it can be to grow and bloom into something greater.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and have a natural ability to make others feel accepted, understood, and valued. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, affirming space for everyone, especially those within the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals who are neurodivergent or living with learning differences. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward growth and self-acceptance.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Grand Canyon University, where I developed a foundation in evidence-based approaches to emotional wellness. My counseling style integrates empathy, collaboration, and mindfulness to help clients build resilience, develop insight, and embrace their individuality on their healing journey.
Every journey has a beginning, and I want you to know that you don’t have to change for anyone but yourself. Together, we’ll move at your pace, uncover strengths, process struggles, and create a meaningful path forward. I would love the opportunity to connect and explore how I can support you in this process.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
At Thriveworks Oklahoma City, we understand that it can be difficult to acknowledge a problem like an eating disorder. We also understand that many people need support as they heal and work toward a healthy relationship with their bodies.
Our therapists and counselors have offered that help to many clients. Simply call us at (405) 347-7772 to get started today.
One of the cultural forces that may open the door for an eating disorder to develop is an obsession with being skinny and thin. Somehow, being slim has become synonymous with being healthy, but the reality is that having a low body weight may pose serious health risks. Bulimia and anorexia are examples of how pursuing a thin body can lead to serious medical complications.
Anorexia has the highest death rate of any psychiatric disorder. Other medical complications from this illness include infertility, low blood pressure, menstrual cycle disruptions, heart failure, kidney damage, low white blood cells, endocrine disruptions, abnormal heartbeat, premature osteoporosis, low heart rate, anemia, and death.
Bulimia also comes with potential and severe medical complications, including gastric rupture, tooth decay, electrolyte imbalance, gastroesophageal reflux disease, kidney damage, ulcers, and heart failure.
One key to fighting eating disorders may be early intervention and treatment. When people recognize the early signs of an eating disorder and take action, they may be able to offset many of the medical complications before they develop.
While eating disorders come in a variety of forms, bulimia and anorexia are often the eating disorders that are seen most commonly. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) gives detailed diagnostics for identifying them.
Anorexia Nervosa diagnostics include:
Bulimia Nervosa diagnostics include:
