My focus in counseling is person-centered with a strong emphasis on mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and empowerment.
In this ever-changing and evolving world, we are all feeling some confusion, perhaps isolation, and a little anxiety in our lives. I see this in my clients’ lives and in my own. Therefore, I am dedicated to working with adults and teens in individual and couples counseling because I can empathize and help people learn new tools to live a healthier, more joyous life. Trauma, relationships, and even family can sometimes negatively affect us. I strive to empower people to become unstuck and move forward with more positivity and strategies to make great changes for themselves.

Using Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBST), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) along with other modalities, I work with adults in Oklahoma, Utah and Oregon via virtual services to diminish negative core beliefs and move forward into clarity.
Do you find yourself struggling with finding clarity due to trauma, feeling like you don’t understand who you are, having feelings of worthlessness and like your relationships aren’t satisfying? Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship/intimacy difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem, impulse control and lack of motivation can be hard to overcome on your own. Maybe you find yourself frustrated and want to give up because changing how you’re responding to others and even yourself seems impossible. This is the place for you to better know the life you’re leading now, deal with complex trauma, phobias and life stressors.

I provide therapy to adult and adolescent individuals, via Telehealth, with a variety of issues, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, life transitions, meditation, mind-body connection, and mindfulness.
Telehealth Therapist: Throughout our lifetime we encounter various transitions and challenges, I believe these experiences hold opportunity for transformation and growth. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that each person’s journey is unique; therefore, this is not a “one size fits all” therapeutic experience. I strive to assist people in achieving their highest potential for fulfillment and wellbeing. It is my aim to assist clients in discovering their authentic self by providing a trusting and compassionate therapeutic environment where you feel safe engaging in problem solving and self-discovery.

I use a Psychodynamic and Mindfulness approach to achieve self-compassion/understanding of one's needs by considering both conscious and unconscious levels.
You deserve to feel seen and live a life of authenticity without the stress and anxiety of being afraid to show others who you are or who you want to be. So often we find ourselves holding back our needs to ensure the needs of others are being met but this pattern leaves many of us feeling lonely and isolated in our relationships. Therapy can be a way to help you achieve the authenticity you are seeking through processing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in your way of showing up for yourself.

I use numerous proven therapy approaches, including attachment, Gottman therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapies in the therapy relationship to help you develop skills to achieve a grounded resilient happy connectedness.
I work extensively with adults, adolescents, couples and families addressing the challenges in creating a satisfying and meaningful life. Often times we can feel stuck in our lives, using emotion-regulation and relational skills that served us in the past. Like outdated software, these skills no longer serve us as we have matured, as our circumstances have changed or as we have developed relationships with others who bring a different relational culture. This sense of stuckness may lead to depression, anxiety, addictions, compulsions and/or relational difficulties that leads people to work with me.

org You can also Google "Mindfulness," "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy," "Motivational Interviewing," and "REBT" to learn more about just some of the therapies I use.
Most clients I see experience anxiety and depression. These are life's greatest thieves, stealing away joy and hope and leaving many clients to feel powerless. Depression and anxiety usually accompany stress that comes with problems in personal or work relationships, or failing health. Or perhaps it runs deeper than that and you have been dogged by fear and melancholy for most of your life, searching but not finding any explanation. Most clients lose faith that they can overcome these problems. I help clients find their personal strengths and overcome beliefs that leave them feeling vulnerable.

Mindfulness is about learning to live in the moment and fully accepting life’s truths.
Few of us get through this life without experiencing some trauma. Yet we all have the capacity to experience post-traumatic growth with the help of therapist whose role is to remove barriers that prevent us from moving past our past. When clients leave my office they have improved capacity for facing life head-on. Finding the right therapist is about “fit,” which is about feeling affirmed and validated for who you are.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
