I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

The human spirit is more powerful than any drug, and it is that we need to nurture. Lives get off track for many reason, but they can get back on track. I am honored to help. For the last 30 years, I was employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Since 1998, I served as a Drug Treatment Specialist, working with adult male offenders with substance use disorders. The previous 7 years, I was employed in Human Resources and unit management. I left that job due to mandatory retirement. I loved the work because I found it meaningful. Even though the primary focus was a cognitive-behavioral approach to addiction, I counseled our clients regarding grief and loss and relationship issues of all kinds. I enjoyed working with people who had forgotten their own potential and watching them grow and take control of the rest of their lives. EDUCATION Master of Arts in Personnel and Organizational Psychology in 1992, from the University of Central Oklahoma (formerly Central State University) in Edmond, Oklahoma. Bachelor of Business Administration in 1988, from Central State University, Edmond, Oklahoma.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been providing therapy since 2017. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, grief and loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, chronic stress, and adjustment to major life changes. My professional background includes work in emergency and crisis mental health settings, where I supported individuals experiencing acute psychiatric crises, suicidality, severe mental health symptoms, and major life disruptions. I have worked extensively with veterans, active-duty military personnel, first responders, and individuals exposed to high-stress and traumatic environments. As a veteran, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work with military and veteran populations. I have experience helping individuals navigate military trauma, combat-related stress, operational stress injuries, moral injury, reintegration challenges, traumatic loss, and the psychological impact of prolonged exposure to conflict and violence. I have also worked with individuals who have lived, worked, or served in war and combat environments, as well as family members and loved ones affected by military service and deployment. In addition to supporting service members and veterans, I have experience working with spouses, partners, parents, and family members of active-duty personnel and combat veterans. Military service can affect entire families, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the unique challenges of military life, deployment, loss, caregiving responsibilities, relationship strain, and the transition back to civilian life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical, helping clients better understand themselves while building skills to navigate life's challenges. I tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, neurodivergence, stress, military-related challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is respectful, authentic, and focused on meaningful growth. Seeking support takes courage, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

Find a therapist near you in Hardesty, Oklahoma

Finding a therapist near you in Hardesty, Oklahoma starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Oklahoma is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Oklahoma, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Oklahoma, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Oklahoma

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Oklahoma, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
