Emotionally Focused Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, becoming who you are meant to be, and I am here to share this courageous "deep dive". Are you ready to make conscious those things you already feel so raw and vulnerably in your body, to seat your feelings so close as to live to the point of tears? Like picking up a new and unfamiliar musical instrument, the first necessary step is to begin, does not matter where, or how, poorly or well. Beginning is difficult, we are reluctant to take that first close-in, brave step to reclaiming the happiness of actually having started. Living to the fullest is my goal for all of us.

Is your relationship suffering? Do you feel like you don't matter to the one person who should care the most? Do you feel like no matter what you do, you keep getting it wrong in your most important relationship? That's a miserable place to be. It can be extremely challenging to function at work or with your children when there's a problem in your relationship. Talking with someone who knows how to repair the connection in your closest relationships can help. That is my passion; I love to help people repair their relationships and feel close again.

Couples are my primary specialty; I also do trauma work with individual adults. I work with people who are wrestling with feeling lonely, exhausted, sad, anxious, disconnected, or failing in their most important relationships, those who believe they aren’t enough or aren’t good enough for their person, those who just want peace, those who are afraid their person will leave, those who move away from emotions and those who are all too aware of them.

I think we can all agree that starting something new, or even continuing with where we may have left off, can be quite challenging at times. This makes a lot of sense because change is scary. 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.

We all suffer, there is nothing wrong with you. Counseling is a collaborative process that we, you and I, use to actively construct a way of living. Sometimes our conversations will reveal previously unseen solutions. Anything that I propose is yours to question, modify, elaborate, or reject. You are a unique person who knows what has worked and what has not worked in the past. Life is an ongoing practice, made more meaningful and less confusing when engaged in authentic dialogue with others. Maybe, through shared inquiry, we can discover new possibilities. I would be honored to visit with you and find our way together.

Are you a couple in crisis due to recent events in your relationship? Do you need help with conflict, communication, friendship, and intimacy? Do you want to change patterns of selfishness and increase empathy and understanding in your relationship, building trust and commitment? In couples therapy, I help each partner gain insight into their own past, emotions, motivations, and defenses. If one or both of the individuals in the relationship are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or personality disorders, I am also trained to work with those diagnoses. We can work together to find healing.

We don't want to feel alone. My practice is based in a process known as Emotionally Focused Therapy ("EFT"). EFT is based on ideas of attachment/connection with others. It helps us understand how emotions impact our sense of connection in life.
