When an individual experiences adverse childhood events, constant severe life stressors, or a traumatic experience, often times they find that their life starts to fall apart. My endeavor is to bring understanding to my clients who have experienced adverse childhood events, constant severe life stressors, or a traumatic experience. Working together with my clients that include children, adults, and families my work is centered on helping them find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their positive and supportive relationships in an effort to know themselves as peaceful, complete, safe and whole.
Working with a wide array of diverse populations I have been trained in a range of modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Training in the application and use of Brain Spotting, Relational Gestalt Therapy, Positive Psychology, Play Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing approaches to treat individuals exposed to adverse childhood events, constant severe life stressors, or a traumatic experience.
My educational background includes a MS in Mental Health Counseling from Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Training in the practical application of Brainspotting from Rocky Mountain Brainspotting Institute (RMBI) in Boulder Colorado, BS in Human Development and Family Science from Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have an AA in Psychology from Tulsa Community College in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
