Counseling & Treatment Philosophy
Since no two people or paths are alike, counseling must be adaptive and helpful as both science and art. I utilize several psychological theories in working with people on their journey: Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Family Systems Theory, and Client-Centered. These schools of thought focus on reducing symptoms of mental distress and are scientifically-based approaches that have been trial tested with positive results. The art of therapy is knowing when and where to make applications and interventions as therapist and client build a sacred space of trust and healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Oklahoma LPC #5798) who graduated from Southern Nazarene University in 2013 with a Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy. I also have a Masters in Ministry from Oklahoma Christian University.
