Codependency Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

Shame, perfectionism, trauma, codependency . If those words describe part of your story, I'm glad you're here. Therapy is a process through which you get to decide on how the rest of your story goes and see yourself from a new, more gentle perspective. Whether you want to explore difficult family dynamics, heal from a trauma or painful past relationship, cope with anxiety or depression, understand patterns in your romantic life, or unhook from the pain of perfectionism, I can help. I will provide you with a warm, supportive, and inspiring space to talk through what you need to explore, judgment-free.

Everyone's experience is unique and unfortunately can involve moments of pain, trauma and feelings of shame. Counseling can provide a safe place, free of judgement to work through anxiety, depression, low self esteem, codependency and relationship issues that are often a result of trauma. I offer a kind and accepting environment to explore struggles and assist clients in moving toward a place of healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in mental health care as well as health care in general. I bring years of experience dealing with a multitude of issues including, chronic health conditions, traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, PTSD, OCD, low self esteem, all forms of abuse as a child, adolescent or adult, domestic abuse and violence, psychotic disorders as well as personality disorders. My approach is client centered, compassionate, safe, caring and spiritual. Let me help you with your issues in a safe, non-judgemental atmosphere.

You may be seeking help because you experience moods and challenges that you feel less-than equipped to manage all on your own. As Brene Brown has told us, and told us "we are hard-wired to connect... and when we go out into the world searching for reasons we are not enough, we will always find it." It's not enough to hear the quotes, read the books, and listen to the podcasts though. Aligning to our values is tough when we have been conditioned to accept so much less than what our specific wants and needs call for.

I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2011 and I am a LADC (Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor). I have helped individuals transform their lives by teaching them effective coping skills. I help clients identify behavioral patterns that prevent them from progressing. I help them increase self-care, self-esteem, self-worth and ways to add value to their lives. Throughout the therapy experience clients learn to implement healthy boundaries, increase communication skills and add mindfulness techniques to their daily routine.

Online Therapy focus due to Covid-19 precautions. Be confident you’re safe while you get professional care.I specialize in helping people work through their pain, worry, confusion, and anxiety. Sometimes it isn't easy to know where to start or how to ask for help. It is equally challenging to know where to go to get it. You can start here. Schedule a private and confidential appointment in a place were you can work on resolving the challenges you are experiencing. Whether individuals, couples, children/teenagers, employees, contractors, business men, clergy, great or distressed background, you are welcome here as a place to start.

My ideal client is one who is motivated to change and is willing to work with me collaboratively in achieving progress. I work with a multitude of issues including substance dependence, legal issues, DHS involved cases, anxiety, depression, anger and other co-occurring disorders.

I enjoy clients who have already been doing significant personal and spiritual growth work and want a seasoned therapist who will both hold space for their unique journey while also showing up, sharing feedback, and noting opportunities for growth.

All of your issues, troubles and worries are valid, normal and understandably are impacting your life. Only you can fully know what its like to walk in your shoes. But with me, the help of a seasoned therapist, we can sift through the areas that are currently getting in the way and are not serving you and your life. Together we can figure out how to create more peace and joy and lessen the negative feelings that may still be lingering from past relationships, experiences or trauma.

Life is a journey and striving to be our best self is an ongoing task. Throughout life difficulties arise like marital difficulties, divorce, parenting uncertainties, career changes, mental health symptoms, addiction, life-span transitions, family relationships, traumatic events, and more. Part of the journey in life is adapting and coping to changes, while discovering oneself. Together, we are a team, working toward the same goal. As your therapist I offer support, but will also ensure you are lovingly challenged toward personal growth.

Do you struggle in relationships with your parent? Experience out-of-control thoughts or emotions? Would like to heal painful experiences from your past? Or want to feel more confident? Getting through life can often feel hard, but it doesn't have to be.

The smallest change can affect your whole life. Life seems to continue even if we don't feel prepared for it. Moments of anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming. A new diagnosis or loss can create feelings that are difficult to control. Both past and present trauma can leave a lasting impact without support. Addiction can ruin relationships with friends and family. Any of these issues can cause problems in a person's life and therapy can create change in one's life. I believe all clients deserve to be in a place that is judgement free.
