Divorce Therapists in Tonkawa, OK

I am only taking new clients through the VA Care in the Community. I have over 10 years of experience working with both children and adults, specializing in trauma and symptoms related to trauma such as anxiety and depression. When Hemingway wrote "No man is an island" he was talking about this interconnectedness we have. Individual problems always always affect relationships and relationship problems always affect the individuals involved. In addition, we are whole beings and when one aspect of our wellness is off, it affects all areas. I, therefore, help you look at all the areas of your life to see where changes can benefit you.

Life is not always easy, kind, or fair. We face challenges every day. Most of the time, those challenges help us grow. Some challenges threaten to overwhelm us. Your challenges may be personal and recent like a job loss, death, or divorce. Other times those challenges have built up over years of pain. Often those challenges involve some of our most vital relationships including our parents or spouse. In those times a trained professional can be helpful.

Life is a journey and striving to be our best self is an ongoing task. Throughout life difficulties arise like marital difficulties, divorce, parenting uncertainties, career changes, mental health symptoms, addiction, life-span transitions, family relationships, traumatic events, and more. Part of the journey in life is adapting and coping to changes, while discovering oneself. Together, we are a team, working toward the same goal. As your therapist I offer support, but will also ensure you are lovingly challenged toward personal growth.

I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families achieve their therapy goals. My personal therapeutic philosophy is that emotional healing takes place when you address the well-being of the whole person - Mind, Body, and Soul. There is nothing better than seeing an individual caught in the grip of anxiety and depression, find lasting relief; or a couple on the brink of divorce transform into a healthy, loving relationship; or someone finding peace and healing from lifelong childhood-trauma.

I have worked with children and families for over twenty-five years and I never cease to be amazed at their resiliency. What I have learned is that children do cope with life struggles, but increasing the likelihood that they develop positive coping skills often depends on the support that surrounds them. Working with children and adults to recognize their own strengths and to learn new strategies for success remains a focus of my practice.

I have enjoyed the private practice of outpatient mental health in Oklahoma and around the world with our military. In addition to a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Tulsa, I am a graduate of the Menninger's Institute Program for Community Practitioners of Marriage and Family Therapy.

My doctoral level research involved conducting a clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of the EMDR method.

Our experienced and licensed therapists provide psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who struggle with interpersonal conflicts and emotional disturbances that may be inadvertently caused by substance use, domestic violence, mental illness, or transitional stages in life. We understand the ambivalent feelings individuals may have when seeing a counselor and are committed to ensuring your comfort and safety. Many of our clients are men. Our goal is to provide hope and to partner with you as we navigate the obstacles in your life. "Hope" is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in Oklahoma City. (please refer to other profile for more details). I wanted a secondary profile to provide information about another aspect of my services - Divorce Management. As our society has become more complicated by the ever-changing economy and increased use of technology, our traditional concept of love, marriage, and raising children has caused weakening of family ties and more focus on adult satisfaction. Divorce has become normalized as an alternative to ‘sticking it out for the sake of the family’.
