Throughout my life, some of the most meaningful moments have come from simply sitting with others in honest, heartfelt conversation. There’s something powerful about being truly seen and heard—and those are the moments when I’ve felt most connected to others and to my own purpose. That’s what drew me to counseling. I’m deeply honored by the chance to walk alongside people, to listen, and to help carry life’s burdens together.
I strive to create a welcoming, supportive space where individuals and families feel safe, valued, and understood. I believe that healing happens best in the context of trust, and I’m committed to showing up with compassion, consistency, and respect.
My approach is rooted in the belief—echoing the wisdom of Maya Angelou—that we usually do the best we can with what we know, and as we learn and grow, we become more equipped to make choices that reflect who we truly want to be. With support and insight, change is possible.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have a special passion for working with young children and their families. I see behavior as a form of communication, especially in children, and I believe that when we slow down and listen—really listen—we can begin to understand what’s underneath the surface. With the right tools, support, and encouragement, both kids and caregivers can experience meaningful growth and healing.
I’m trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and I regularly draw from the principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention to support attachment, build trust, and strengthen family relationships. I also make frequent use of play in my work—as I believe it’s one of the most natural and powerful ways to connect with children in their own world.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Harding University and completed my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at OSU-Tulsa. Since then, I’ve worked as both a mental health consultant and a school-based therapist in early childhood education settings, where I’ve gained firsthand experience in helping young children and their families navigate life’s challenges.
My husband and I live in Tulsa with our rescue dog, Sable, and feel fortunate to be close to family. We love spending time with our loved ones—especially our nieces and nephews—and try to soak up as many everyday moments with them as we can. I’m also involved in a women’s ministry at our church that supports women who have experienced trauma, which is deeply meaningful to me. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, drinking coffee, and traveling to the beach or the mountains.
