Therapists in Broken Arrow, OK

I have worked with clients who see spirituality as an especially important part of their therapy. I have treated successfully clients dealing with spiritual and religious abuse, anger towards God, depression, anxiety, abandonment and rejection, obsessive and compulsive thoughts, eating disorders, body image issues, sexuality concerns, women struggling with post- abortion depression, childhood sexual abuse and trauma. I have worked with religious leaders and their families.

Therapy is for you and therapeutic goals will always be focused on what you hope to achieve through the therapeutic process. I see my role as one that facilitates the change you hope to experience by equipping you with tools, helping you process emotions and thoughts, and empowering you to achieve your goals. I approach the therapeutic experience from a systems perspective. We live in relationship to others and our mental health is effected by and affects those relationships. Whether I am working with an individual, a couple, or a family, I am considering the impact of the systems and relationships my clients are living within.

I enjoy people and I enjoy helping people. People struggle, it is most often a fact of life. Nobody is immune. Sometimes mental illness affects progression of life and sometimes life causes mental health struggles. Either way, the struggle is real. We get drug down by life, we struggle to solve problems, anger gets in the way, anxiety, depression, problem solving. The constant battle between our brain and emotions can be overwhelming. I like people to feel and see results of their work. My goal in my work and life is to help others find and create changes and joy in their own lives despite the hardships they face.

Accepting new clients. Are you feeling stuck, repeating old patterns you can't seem to break? Are painful memories keeping you from enjoying the present moment?

Are you & your lover struggling with relational & sexual intimacy? You are not alone! Unfortunately, our society shrouds topics of sexuality in secrecy & shame, which leaves folks unsure of where they can turn for help. The leading causes of sexual struggle are related to natural aging, chronic health conditions, cancer treatment, habits, & lifestyle choices. Couples with sexual problems can get lost in a viscous cycle of physical distancing, loss of intimacy, isolation, & negative thoughts about themselves & their mate. I want to hear your story & be the guide for you and your mate as you navigate these delicate conversations.

Are you browsing for a therapist to help with mental fatigue or problematic events, and not sure what to do or who to trust?

Sometimes having negative thoughts or certain feelings becomes so overwhelming it can lead to tears, frustration, or uncertainty of having a positive outcome. Does it seem when you feel you are trying your best that it's never good enough? As a cancer survivor, I have been there and life can be complicated at times. However, there is hope and I would love to help you find your positive outcomes.

Accepting new clients. Do you suddenly feel at a place in life where you are stuck..that there is no way out? No matter what you do it just doesn’t help.

Hope that happiness is possible and that you can achieve your innermost desires. You are worthy and deserving of love, hope, and joy. Let me help you get back on the road you were meant to travel.

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. When you step into the office nerves are on edge, maybe you finally decided to leave the abuse, no one really understands or believes you. To talk about it causes intense feelings of fear and you have to talk to a stranger. To overcome trauma of any kind, physical, sexual or emotional takes time and learning to love yourself in the presence of others that support you empower you and walk side by side with compassion care and experience to give you the tools you need to change YOU forever.

Are you struggling with your job? Feeling burned out, used up, and not sure what to do? I can help address your work stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, or secondary trauma. That's my area of speciality. Using an Accelerated Program of Recovery, I can help you regain a sense of direction, hope, and vision for the future.

The people I thoroughly enjoy working with the most are those that are tired of living a less than desirable life. They may not be sure how to get to an empowered, joyful, passionate way of life yet. They can sometimes describe their journey as traumatic, and they use words like “depressed”, “fearful”, and/or “anxious”. However, there’s something tugging inside of them that there has to be a way out of that dark, overwhelming hole that they currently call life. They want more for themselves even if it only starts with a small glimmer of hope.

Limited Availability.Tired of feeling not good enough, being taken for granted, walking on eggshells, or feeling exhausted from always trying to fit in? Are you hoping that things will get better if you just do what you’re told? Are you being told that it's YOUR fault that your partner loses their temper and hits you? You have tried to make things better but nothing has worked.You feel trapped and defeated. I can help you change this. I am trained to help people recover from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, domestic violence, and suicidal ideations. I can help you feel more hopeful and be in more control of your life.

I believe that you matter. Everything that you are and want to be is within you. When you are struggling, hurting, contemplating, worrying, or doubting, let’s work together to develop and maintain a healthy and productive lifestyle.

An ideal client has specific goals or problems in mind they want to work on. I love helping others make their lives happier and healthier! I love helping parents work on difficult situations with their children, couples work on strengthening their relationships, and children/teens work to realize their potential. I am available for home visits on a case-by-case basis depending on location and situation. Let's discuss!

Overwhelmed? Struggling to keep it together for family, work, and friends? People are depending on you and some days are just rough! Overwhelm has major consequences... Maybe you procrastinate or lose yourself in social media or television shows. Do you take it out on other people? If you are struggling to find joy in your relationships because the daily events are overwhelming, please know that there is hope! The things of your past don't have to hold you back. We can find some relief. I would be honored to walk with you and your family as you work towards finding balance again.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked with clients of all ages for the past 10 years in both a school and clinic setting, helping address trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional and behavioral issues. I utilize a person-centered approach incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy as well as other modalities to meet the individual needs of each person I meet with.
