Nurturing Guidance: Therapy in Oklahoma
Science Provides the Map; Compassion Helps You Walk It.
I listen deeply and with compassion, helping clients feel truly understood while making sense of their experiences and patterns.
And when life feels overwhelming, I guide them with the tools that meet them where they are—drawing from a toolbox of 50+ skills they can carry with them to feel calmer, steadier, and more whole.
Together, We’ll Work To:
Untangle thoughts and feelings,
Soothe your nervous system,
Gently desensitize triggers,
So you can begin to listen to the part of you that already knows. The wise part. The steady part.
Move from IDK’s to clarity flows.
My goal is for you to leave our sessions with a practical tool or a meaningful insight to apply between sessions.
Most people who I see do improve! They tell me it’s by far one of the best things they have done for themselves.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy should be more helpful than just venting. I offer therapy that blends depth and helpful direction.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, panic, low self-worth, or constant "what-ifs," I provide a calm, compassionate space to build practices that matter.
I strive for my therapy to be warm, clear, and collaborative. I show up with genuine presence, valuable insights, and the conviction that you can feel whole again.
Build Inner Calm & Confidence
With My Background in Psychology & Sociology,
I understand both your inner world & the environment around you. They both matter and affect how you feel. Together, we’ll explore the challenges around you & within you to build a balanced life.
I use easy-to-grasp metaphors & diagrams so you can quickly connect the concepts to your life.
Initially, our focus may be on cultivating emotional grounding skills.
These tools will equip you to explore your feelings without becoming overwhelmed.
This foundational work enables us to delve into both your present situations and past, to foster a healing understanding.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to become your own productive therapist.
What You Can Expect…
Maybe You Had Therapy Before…
But you are ready for something more substantial beyond regular talk therapy & a couple of skills.
I guide my clients step-by-step, building the skills to reduce high anxiety levels.
Skills that support "in the storm"
And skills that alleviate the tension baseline (the kind you carry all week).
I help my clients sort through thoughts & where the extra emotions originate.
I help their hearts dissolve the experiences that linger & make them feel unsettled.
My work is grounded in evidence-based psychology and the neuroscience of emotional healing, but the real art is knowing when and how to use each approach. Some therapy styles can help one person but overwhelm another. That’s why I tailor your treatment to what your nervous system, history, and goals actually need.
Therapy That Fits — Not a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
