In my way of working with you, I lay my personal issues aside for our time together and give myself plenty of internal space to resonate with you on a gut level. As I hear your story in words I also hear it in feelings. A good therapist puts these two narratives together, the spoken one and the emotional one, in getting to an accurate understanding of you. When I merge this understanding with my training in psychology, which is extensive, I'm able to reflect purposefully with you about what might be wrong; about "how" you're hurting.

I provide an open, caring and safe environment for you to discuss your most private difficulties and challenges. I focus on building a positive therapeutic relationship to promote maximum positive change and growth. I specialize in highlighting the goals and standards that you want to achieve and processing how your daily decisions/actions bring you closer to success within that goal... or take you further away from what you would like to accomplish. I use Reality Therapy to help clients on improving present relationships and circumstances, while steering away from much discussion of past events.

The bravery it takes to begin therapy is often underestimated. So is the pain. That pain is often a symptom of a psychological wound that needs to be treated with care and attentiveness. Working with me feels similar to physical therapy: soothing at times and challenging at others, but ultimately, healing.

I am an experienced therapist with over 40 years of working with individuals and couples in helping to improve their lives. My approach is interactive, solution focused and respectful of all persons. Clients in my practice typically find improvement in how they feel and how they relate to others.

At Brain & Life Renewal Center, I am 1 of 4 BCIA Certified Practitioners in the Oklahoma City area. Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that takes electrical impulses from the brain and creates a unique therapeutic protocol, based on the data received, to improve brain function. We can detect subtle electrical impulses from the brain by placing an electrode cap on the head. These electrical impulses are amplified, giving the Neurofeedback monitor the information needed to generate an individualized training program.
