Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

Trying to recover from addiction or mental illness on your own is tremendously difficult. This is true for not only the one with the disorder, but for each family member who may feel desperate for change. You probably feel like you have exhausted yourself trying to recover or to help someone recover, but no positive change seems to last. Although reaching out for help is hard, the willingness to engage in counseling with an experienced therapist can give you the push you need and provide you with tools you would not have access to if you continue try to use the same ineffective strategies to solve the problems on your own.

My goal as a therapist is to understand where you are in life and work to overcome the difficulties you are facing. I believe that the most important thing I can do as a therapist is to provide unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental attitude, as well as research-based treatment. However, I also believe that Christ is the ultimate and true healer. While we can affect emotional, cognitive and behavioral changes, I believe that long-term health and healing is ultimately found at the foot of the Cross. Therefore, my preference is to take a more holistic approach addressing the body, soul and spirit.

The ideal clients have made an honest self-assessment of their lives, acknowledged an awareness of issues or concerns that are robbing them of their joy, and are committed to developing and integrating new strategies for meeting life's challenges with renewed hope and optimism.

Life throws almost everyone a curve ball at some point in their life. My primary goal is to provide you with a safe, caring environment in which, together, we can process the issues and the feelings around them, that disrupt the balance and harmony in your life. Identifying strengths you may have lost sight of, exploring options and challenging you to risk new thoughts and/or behaviors can help you rediscover the path you want to travel.

I have 28 years in the Deaf Education classroom as a teacher and have changed over to being a nationally certified counselor of the Deaf/HOH and their families.

I am a licensed professional counselor who is skillful at finding the best in each person and inviting it to come forth. I believe everyone has within them what is needed to heal. I see my role as a facilitator, mentor, and guide, finding and removing any blocks that might interfere with the healing process. I have no agenda other than to be of service, utilizing therapeutic tools in order to assist people on their journey. I am open-minded, non-judgmental, and believe in the sanctity of all life.

As a Licensed Counselor, I'm here to help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you, and how to do it successfully. It is my goal to provide a safe environment and develop a therapeutic relationship with trust and empathy.

Life can be tough and I believe everyone experiences difficulties at some point in their life. We can become overwhelmed, depressed, angry, anxious and confused about the circumstances in our lives. Sometimes things feel out of control and we want to escape the pain. For some, the tools they have are not working, in fact, their attempts to deal with the pain actually creates more pain. Counseling is a tool that can aid in change and healing. It can provide options to deal more effectively with the pain and solving the problems a person faces.

Do you have difficult relationships? Do you put everyone's needs before your own? Do you wonder why do don't get as good as you give? Do you suffer from overwhelm? Do you experience a lack of motivation? Do you ruminate over the little things? Do you have trouble sleeping because you can't stop your thoughts? Do you feel frequently tired? If you have answered "yes" to any or all of these questions, then you are not living the life you deserve. I have cherished my time I have spent working with folks to get through the difficulties of life. I have 30+ years in sacred service to others and I LOVE what I do. Offering Saturday apts.

Most people will have various periods in their life that they feel anxious, depressed, or have difficulty adjusting to change. You might be feeling overwhelmed, angry, confused, & scared. My goal is to provide my clients the opportunity to unpack, explore & make sense of their thoughts & feelings in a safe environment. The treatment approach I use helps clients increase self-awareness, insight, & promotes growth. By doing so, clients can develop a deeper understanding how the past affects the present so that long-term change in the future can be made possible.

You want to live in the present, yet you feel trapped in the past. Despite having aspirations, the grip of depression & anxiety have left you feeling stuck in a never-ending loop. You feel like you are just going through the motions of life, without any real purpose or joy. Depression drains your energy & motivation level. Anxiety gets you spiraling down a rabbit hole of negative thoughts, “if onlys,” & “what ifs,” leading to an endless stream of self-doubt & self-criticism. The possibility of negative outcomes & painful memories lead to a constant state of unease, making it difficult to appreciate the positive aspects of life.
