I completed a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Oklahoma State University in 1994 and have worked as a licensed psychologist since 1996. I have experience working in secure care, inpatient psychiatric, residential treatment, nonprofit outpatient settings, and have maintained a local private practice for over 20 years. I have extensive experience treating trauma, conducting psychological evaluations, and helping children, adults, and families with a variety of psychological and life-adjustment issues.
I have devoted my career to helping people find creative solutions for their problems, but I wanted to positively impact even more people’s lives by assembling a team of like-minded, top-notch counselors. As the Executive Director of Solutions Mental Health, I am thrilled to have assembled such a talented crew of diverse clinicians. At Solutions, we use our experience to tailor your therapy to meet your specific needs and to maximize your psychological wellbeing.
