Therapists in Oklahoma

My office is designed to be a safe place for all clients; I will honor your identity fully. No matter the circumstances in life, I believe we all have choices & ways to make meaning from our experiences. In therapy, I work with clients to establish a relationship based on trust, respect, & understanding. I help my clients to illuminate the choices that are available & process ways to find meaningful connections within themselves & in their relationships with others. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist & love working with clients in the LGBTQ+ community!

As a therapist I focus mainly on marriage and couples counseling. I enjoy helping couples improve communication, increase conflict resolution and deepen their connection. I aim to provide a safe and confidential place to unpack struggles and give specific strategies and tools for improving the lives and relationships of my clients. I have seen first had the effectiveness of counseling and believe it is a great avenue where healthy changes can be made. I am a level 3 trained Gottman Method therapist, which is a evidence based, research oriented approach to couples work.

My counseling philosophy begins by receiving clients with unconditional positive regard and creating a compassionate environment where clients feel safe and supported as they seek to navigate the difficulties of life. Complicated life experiences can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and potentially learned helplessness that negatively impact our self-worth and behaviors in a profound way. I believe that engaging in therapy can increase human capacity for a richer, more meaningful life by clarifying our values and determining what is truly purposeful and fulfilling for our life.

My clients often feel alone in their struggle with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, time management, substance abuse or behavioral addictions. My clients are often limited in their potential because of the unprocessed trauma they hold from their past. My clients very often know what they want but don’t know how to achieve a life that is more reflective of their authentic self. My clients are often experiencing a conflict in their life and seek to explore their meaning and purpose.

Sometimes "talk therapy" isn't enough. EMDR works directly with the brain and the way thoughts, memory, feelings, beliefs and body sensations are stored when we experience disturbing events/trauma. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist experienced in treating traumatic stress reactions, depression, anxiety, grief & loss. I specialize in using EMDR, IFS-EMDR, Flash Technique, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT), somatic awareness, and mindfulness tools with a focus on: the helping professions, survivors of trauma, natural disasters, critical incidents, adverse childhood/ life experiences.

My approach to mental health counseling is very simple, one that encompasses unconditional positive regard and that encourages self-exploration throughout the therapeutic encounter. The client is considered the expert of his/her own life who may need support when challenges or obstacles become overwhelming and/or problematic (maladaptive). Through this therapeutic collaboration clients learn to identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors may positively or negatively impact their daily experience. If problematic belief patterns are identified, the client will co-create a treatment plan aimed to reduce the negative symptomatology while enhancing the client's self-esteem and overall well-being.

Clients of mine desire deeper connections in their relationship to themselves, to others, and to our world. I aim to cultivate a conscious therapeutic container wherein you can explore who you really are. From this place of acceptance you are free to grow into new ways of being and belonging.

As a depth counselor, I assist clients who need deep healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and other wounds to find wholeness in Self and relationships again. It takes a lot of courage to shine a light into the darkest places within, and to uncover and work with the roots of our pain. I truly believe even the most difficult symptoms hold gifts for us, and its my life's work to provide the space for my clients to face the scariest parts of being human, find those gifts, and turn the uncovered material into the stuff they need to move from surviving to actually thriving.

As your therapist, I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to navigate the complex and challenging parts of life. Therapy can be a powerful tool to help facilitate growth and healing. My work with clients often focuses on things like stress and anxiety management, life transitions, increasing self-esteem/confidence, relationship issues, coping skills and beyond. I practice non-religious therapy and I welcome people of all races, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.

This work is my passion. In addition to working with individuals facing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and difficulties with navigating life events I have specialized training in healing trauma, grief, childhood issues, and working with behavioral and substance addictions. I am deeply committed to respecting the dignity of each individual and creating a safe emotional environment to heal obstacles and difficulties in a positively focused way. I am committed to being culturally sensitive and aware of each individual's uniques assets and differences and helping them strengthen that as a part of who they are.

Therapy is for all. For the hurt. For the worried. For the strong & the brave aspiring for something greater. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, grief, loss, anxiety, or life transitions; whatever your reason, whatever your goals, I'm here to help walk alongside you in your journey toward growth, understanding, and healing. I offer a calm, comforting, and compassionate space for you to explore life's challenges, grow your personal insight, & gain or regain hope for your future.

My ideal client is someone who will work hard both in and out of session; it may be someone who is looking to work on improving their romantic relationship, wanting to understand their sexual identity, or just someone who is in need of having a safe space to process uncomfortable topics. From a secular approach, I enjoy helping my clients develop new skills and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone, all while maintaining a safe space. If you are willing to try something new to improve yourself or your relationships, therapy is a perfect way to start your journey.

We all struggle with something. Taking the first step toward living a more meaningful, fulfilling life is a big jump for some. I know what it feels like to sit in the client's chair and how scary it can be to get started in therapy. When I was younger, I found myself burdened by debilitating anxiety, depression, and a lot of unhelpful coping mechanisms which resulted in feeling stuck, loneliness, and relational problems with family, friends, and romantic partners alike. Does this sound familiar? If so, you may be the perfect client for me. I can't wait to meet you. Call or email to request an appointment today!

Navigating various relationships, life transitions, trauma, parenting issues, or a crisis in life can be extremely challenging. In overwhelming times, we often struggle to find the authentic support we seek through our journey. The choice to pursue healing and personal growth through counseling takes a tremendous amount of courage, and I greatly value and appreciate each interaction with my clients for this strength. It is my privilege to provide a safe, accepting and warm environment where we travel alongside each other in your unique experience.

We all come from different backgrounds or walks of life, and often times, it is difficult to feel like you are being heard for who you are. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming and collaborative environment in order to accomplish meaningful change and progress in your life.

I have counseled for over 25 years in the private practice setting. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients ranging from adolescents to those in their golden years.

As a certified grief specialist (CGCS), I treat individuals who are experiencing varying levels of grief from life-shattering events to losses of daily routines and relationships.

My goal is to help you evolve into the person you want to be. I want to work with you to identify your passions, personality, strengths, and weaknesses and forge a path to fulfillment. The goals you set will be the focal point of our time together.
