I specialize in child-centered play therapy, using psychodynamic and evidence-based interventions for children aged 3-13 dealing with ADHD, ODD, life transitions, parenting issues, anxiety, and depression.
Life is a journey full of changes, and sometimes, these changes can be overwhelming. For children and families, it can be challenging to overcome the struggles that come with daily life, trauma, or a diagnosis. However, it is essential to know that seeking help is a valid option, and you don't have to face it alone. Therapy can give you the knowledge and tools to recognize your strengths and abilities. It can help you heal, no matter your age or life stage. Don't let the struggles of life hold you back. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, and therapy can be a powerful source of healing.

I am humbled every day when clients allow me to walk along side of them through their personal challenges and then cheer them on as they work towards the goals we have set together. We live in a world where there is more time spent on a phone instead of face-to-face conversations. Therapy gets us back to the basics of really hearing each other and figuring out a highly individualized approach. Whether you need a therapist for individual work, couple counseling, or help for your child. I will be honored to help you in your process to a healthier and happier life.

I have 9 years of experience and training as a counselor in Oklahoma helping people who have experienced trauma, grief, relationship and attachment difficulties, and parent/child relationship problems.
Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is born through kindness and self compassion. Trauma, feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of hope or motivation, and disconnection can cause us to lose compassion for ourselves and others. We want to feel good, be active, and live the way we want to live but sometimes stress and adversity create roadblocks that stand in the way. “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” ― Maya Angelou. Welcome to Kind Minds - it takes bravery to seek therapy, I'm glad you're here!

My primary clients are individuals between 2 - 21 years (Adults on a case-by-case basis). I work with children and their families to provide more information about current presenting social, emotional, and/or behavioral concerns through a thorough assessment (i.e., 5+ hours of direct assessment) and/or through counseling. In counseling, I alone cannot change the person once per week or every other week; parents are key to successful treatment by implementing appropriate strategies, support, and structure needed for improvement (i.e., there is work for the adults too!). I can also help with navigating the school system. So, "How can I help?"

I have worked with children, adults, families, and adolescents over the last ten years.
We've all heard phrases like, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" or "You have a lot to be thankful for!" Often times these phrases are more hurtful than helpful. They make you feel alone and unsure if what you're feeling is real. I love being able to help my clients realize that they're not alone, their feelings are valid, and that they do matter. When you make the steps to seek help. You are not weak, you are BRAVE!

You wake up every morning with a pit in your stomach. You feel nauseated and just can't calm down. Everything in your life feels like a mountain that you have to climb. School is overwhelming and you can't stay on top of your classes. The expectations at your job are growing faster than you are able to keep up. You try daily to fend off the panic, the worry, the stress. When you finally try to sleep, you spend hours fighting off the negative thoughts and fears, only to wake up and do it all again tomorrow.

Sometimes life throws problems at you that are bigger than you know how to handle. Struggling with pain can make you wonder where or when you went wrong or if there's something you could have done differently. You feel like you've tried everything but nothing seems to work and you're worried things will get worse. You might feel disconnected from others or even yourself. You do not have to live with shame and guilt. Working with someone who understands you can open up possibilities for change and growth to help you get your life back.
