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.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Oklahoma City, OK provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Oklahoma City is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a way of challenging, in a safe environment, the maladaptive thoughts and beliefs that can lead to poor mental health and behavioral outcomes. For example, a psychologist at Thriveworks in Oklahoma City, OK might treat someone’s social anxiety by confronting the client’s irrational automatic thoughts and core beliefs. After facing those elements of cognition, the therapist and client can work together on modifying them.
A therapist might also use the behavioral method called exposure therapy or desensitization so the client will feel more relaxed the next time they’re in a social environment. CBT is one of the most effective psychotherapies for anxiety and depression.
