Attachment-based Therapists in Washington County, OK

Life comes with many challenges and changes that can be difficult to navigate, and sometimes it can feel as though you are lacking the support you need.

Do you feel: sad, angry, afraid, lonely, powerless, stuck, or numb? Emotions are messages from the deep Self that something needs your attention. It may be a relationship, a past trauma, a lack of living your true purpose, or simply increasing threats to your personal health or well being, as well as that of our planet. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space in which we can explore the particular areas in your life that are asking for your attention.

So often we have a tendency to gaslight ourselves into thinking there's something wrong with us or that we're making a big deal out of nothing or that there's something we should be doing differently to elicit a different response from the people in our lives. What if there isn't anything wrong with you? What if it actually is a big deal? Because if it's feeling like a big deal to you, there's a reason and we can explore that. And what if you stopped taking responsibility for the emotions and behaviors of others in your life and focused on taking responsibility for yours instead? How might life be different for you then?
