Therapists in Oklahoma

I enjoy working with anyone who is struggling to understand themselves and their behavior. While we can not force someone else to change, changing how we react to others can often bring about change in the relationship. I see counseling as a journey. You are the driver and I am the passenger pointing out road signs. My job is not to judge but to make sure you are aware of your options and their consequences. Whether it is childhood issues, parenting skills, stress, anxiety, depression or problematic relationships, talking to an unbiased trained professional can be of great benefit.

My primary passion and area of focus is children of divorce, blended families, and healing marriages. I have been working within this area of interest professionally since 2010, with personal experiences of having a blended family since 2005. Then opening Anchor of Hope in 2018 to help other families. Treatment often includes both individual and family counseling with a focus on grief following a divorce, strengthening and healing biological family relationships, and understanding and encouraging the process of blending that often takes place through remarriage and other life transitions, such as new siblings, moving, etc.

I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor, State of Oklahoma, (LPC) for the past 17 years. I own the outpatient counseling office Center for Positive Change, Inc. in Yukon. We are CARF accredited, accept most major insurance as well as Sooner Care. I particularly enjoy working with women and their unique issues and concerns. I also have worked with children and families involved in special family situations, i.e., grief, divorce and DHS. My agency employs a variety of licensed therapists to meet the diverse needs of this community.

Do you feel like life is overwhelming you? Are you battling depression or anxiety? Our journey in life can be difficult and at times filled with pain, loss, grief, struggle and full of questions. My passion is to journey alongside you, helping you make sense of what is happening and continue moving on your path finding respite, hope and support along the way. Whether it be due to trauma, depression, anxiety, divorce or marital issues I will be glad to listen to who you are and what makes your journey unique and help you find the path toward wholeness and healing.

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. Working with couples who desire to save their marriage and with families struggling to succeed with adolescent challenges are some of my favorite areas of focus. My doctoral level research involved conducting a clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of the EMDR method.

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.

It is my desire to join with you in seeking release of past struggles and looking to the future. With families, couples, and individuals I can offer resources to assist in the desires for healing and wholeness while reaching the full potential in your life. If that journey deals with grief/loss, addictions, trauma, divorce, family challenges, or individual challenges, I would consider meeting you where you are on that journey a privilege.

My passion is for children and adolescents to truly know their value and to encourage parents on the journey of raising their family. My goal is to provide an environment based on trust, respect, empathy and validation. My role is to listen and encourage my clients while challenging their thoughts, emotions and choices that are difficult to manage. Together we will learn healthy skills to fight against anxiety, low self esteem, difficult relationships, negative thinking, depression and difficulty communicating

I work with children, teens, and families. I also work with couples and individual adults. I use a family systems theoretical approach.

Christian Family Institute serves all persons, but specializes in being sensitive to faith issues, combining those resources with the best science from the mental health disciplines.

The only thing constant in life is change..., but change can be scary and contribute to anxiety. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, loss of employment, divorce, or a new dynamic in your family, counseling can help. I offer a non-judgmental approach to counseling with an emphasis on helpful vs. unhelpful thinking. I am excited to announce that I am now providing Neurofeedback for a wide variety of disorders. Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to perform optimally. Neurofeedback is not counseling. A QEEG brain map will show the areas of the brain that could benefit from training.

My personal philosophy regarding therapy is to focus on the family unit and meet each individual member of the family where they are and treat them as an important part of the therapy. Parents often call me and state they need help for their child and my first response is to treat the child but consider the whole family unit as a part of the therapy treatment plan. Meeting the individual needs of the client is of the utmost importance.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Anyone can dream, but it takes true courage to look inside ourselves and begin the journey of awakening. I would love the opportunity to guide you in your journey of self-discovery. As a therapist I will provide you with a safe and accepting environment that fosters growth and supports you while you transform the vision of the life you were always meant to live into a reality. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Carl Jung

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's never-ending demands? Have you ever sat in your car and cried because it's all too much? Do you search the internet for illnesses to explain why you feel so awful? Maybe you hide in the closet or avoid going home because you are desperate for time alone? (I get it, I’ve been there too). I can help you feel better. If you feel lost juggling everything and worry you’re missing out on life, I can help you sort through the chaos, get back your time and feel light enough to focus on what really matters to you.

So here's the deal. How often do you say things like, "suck it up" and "rub some dirt on it" when things get tough? What are you hoping to gain from avoiding the truth that brought you to say those things? Are you bottling your feelings? That's the real issue, how you deal with life's roadblocks and speed bumps, not whether or not they exist. Often there is more than just you involved, you have children and they look to you as an example. emotions are human, YOU are human, THEY are human. But HOW in the HELL do you deal? Grab life by the horns and let's make a game plan! Life isn't easy...call me...you are not alone!
