If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, postpartum or trauma.
I’m guessing, those crap moments of life are getting the best of you. They bring chaos that can suck the life out of us and literally ruin some or all areas we have worked so hard to be successful in, relationships, career growth, raising amazing kids, or even the small things like keeping the kitchen clean not being late to work, brushing our teeth like we have been told our entire lives. Being consistently overwhelmed can create anxiety or depression, which often turns into isolation and irritation; and we become our worst critics. As you try to do all the things to manage life, there is still no relief.

I am passionate about helping children who are in families going through the tough stuff. I believe children learn and heal best through play. I also enjoy working with adolescents, families, and individual adults. I believe we were created to live in connection with others. The nature of sharing our burdens and hardships with another human who is listening and showing empathy is healing in itself. It is my goal in therapy to create a safe space where you feel heard. We are not promised a life free of hardships but we can journey through it together.

Unresolved childhood trauma has a lingering impact. You may look back on certain events or relationships and feel overwhelmed by painful emotions, hurtful memories, and confusion. You might struggle to set boundaries, honor your values, express your needs, or be kind to yourself. Childhood trauma might also be a reason you feel stuck in relationship patterns, manage stress in unhealthy ways, feel disconnected from your body or emotions, or struggle with perfectionism and shame. If this is you, I'm so glad you are here. You deserve to heal, to feel safe, to be the one who decides how your life goes moving forward.

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.

It can be unfamiliar and sometimes extremely hard to adapt to. So allow me to take a moment to encourage you by providing a safe space for you to take the first step. I am committed to providing you support through life’s hardships. By working alongside you, I will tailor the therapeutic process to your unique needs as the client.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
