It is an honor to us that you are considering our practice for yourself, your family or a friend. I knew from a fairly young age that I wanted to spend my life handing out hope,  I just wasn't always certain exactly what that would look like.  While in college at Oklahoma State University working for my bachelors in Sociology, I worked as a summer counselor at Kanakuk Kamps. I remained there after graduation for four years to serve on the Leadership Team and attend Doulos Ministries Discipleship Training Program. There I worked at Shelterwood, a licensed Christian residential teen treatment facility. It was the toughest yet most rewarding training there is.  And it set me on a path that led to where I am today.  

I spent 11 years in private practice with Family Resource Group of Eastern Oklahoma.  Prior to joining that group of clinicians I worked as a psychiatric technician at Brookhaven Hospital, a DHS social worker, the manager of pizza place and mowed lawns in order to finance getting my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. After graduation I worked in various community mental health facilities as a therapist, case-manager, and social worker. I spent 9 1/2 years as the director of outpatient services for Shadow Mountain Behavioral Health. I have taught Psychology and Social Work classes as an adjunct professor at Tulsa Community College and St. Gregory's University.  I have enjoyed the learning, the teaching and the growing in all of these years.
