Therapists in Edmond, OK

Today, you can begin a different path in relationships with others and with yourself. In some way, we are impacted every day by our view of ourselves and by those around us. I believe a large part of healing from negative experiences starts with being honest with ourselves and opening up. Depression, anxiety, shame, resentment, and many other issues affect us and our relationships on a regular basis. Together, we can begin to turn difficulties into experiences that lead to a better future.

I have a passion to help people overcome trials of life, go in the direction of grace and acceptance, and come to terms with their shortcomings without feeling condemnation. My aim is to help people learn how to be hospitable rather than exist in a state of hostility or loneliness. While we cannot change difficult situations of our past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the resulting challenges in our life. We all share a common need to express emotions and learn new ways to cope effectively.

Is your relationship a roller coaster of painful conflict, followed by reconciliation and hope that things will get better?

Creating meaning and finding clarity in life – especially during times of emotional distress – can lead to greater knowledge and understanding of self. Insight through the counseling process and the therapeutic relationship oftentimes reveals relational patterns that have been established throughout the lifetime. This awareness can lead to deepened relationships that nurture our deepest desires for connection and intimacy.

Trauma leaves us feeling stuck in a loop of stress, doubt, fear, & shame. You may be fed up with reliving unpleasant memories & experiencing the world disconnected, looking out from behind the veil of trauma. Perhaps you don’t even remember a time when this was not your reality - but one thing is certain: you deserve some relief. You’re ready to let go of fear & face the world with confidence. Most of all, you are ready to regain self-worth and emotionally heal.

There are many things that can contribute to the stressors of life. Our mental health and overall sense of well-being are incredibly important to how we deal with this stress. For some people there are very clear mental health issues such as symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mood issues that have caused problems for them. For other people there may not be identifiable mental health issues, rather a general sense that something in life is not going right, or something needs to change.

Many people struggle with issues of the heart and relationships, whether betrayal, trauma, addiction, or obsession.
