Interpersonal Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

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.

Life can be a struggle at times. I have great respect for anyone who's willing to be vulnerable during the therapeutic process so they can meet their goals. I have devoted my life to helping people heal & bring balance back to their lives. I provide individual therapy by using a wide range of tools & techniques, I help people overcome obstacles within themselves & in their relationships. I've worked with clients to successfully address a wide variety of challenges related to interpersonal, home, family, & romantic relationships.

I want to help you by offering a non-judgmental, warm and accepting atmosphere where you can voice your concerns, fears, and feelings that you are experiencing. Confusion, depression, anger and sadness are some of the reasons people come in to therapy. They have doubts about their own feelings, thoughts and sometimes identity, which results in lowered self esteem and a lack of personal motivation. Therapy won't change who you are, it improves who you already are, leading to self acceptance and peace.

"We all experience challenges in life allow those to bring us down/overcome them. Ideally through those situations we can learn & draw strength & wisdom that's where I'd like to come in to help. Change isn't easy but together we can work to minimize your negative coping skills, thoughts &reactions. Learn to cope in healthy ways &improve your quality of life. I'd like to walk alongside you during that journey & see you come out the other side a stronger, healthier, happier person." Therapy is an opportunity to re-establish balance in your life &reconnect with yourself & others in new & meaningful ways.

My goal as your therapist is to provide an honest and encouraging atmosphere to help you navigate through life's highs and lows. I will help you build upon your own unique set of strengths in order to confront problems and overcome obstacles. I will listen to you in a nonjudgmental manner and we will work to smooth out the worry and confusion that life can throw at you. Working together in a relationship of trust and sharing I can help you set a new course in life where you can achieve self-fulfillment and awareness.

Reaching out for help is not a weakness or proof that something is broken. Instead, it takes courage and is rooted in hope. My passion is to tap into and foster the very hope and courage that brings people into therapy. From a family systems perspective, I work within the context of relationships such as couples, parent/child, siblings or other interpersonal relationships. I believe a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial to helping others find solutions and achieve their goals.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide therapy services to adults and adolescents. My priority is to ensure I have a full understanding of a client’s needs to ultimately create a safe and comfortable space. It is my belief that problems addressed in therapy do not exist in isolation. Therefore, I commonly explore personal stressors, relationships, and identities with my clients. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches into my work, including Multi-Cultural, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies.

Now accepting new clients. Therapy is a space where rather than asking "What is wrong with you?" we can answer the question "What happened to you?" The impact of trauma, relationship disruptions, and the general disappointments of life impact us and we all develop coping skills to deal with them in the moment. The journey of healing, self-discovery, and self-awareness means exploring what coping skills are still beneficial and which ones might no longer serve their purpose. Together, we can tackle the goals you’ve identified to help make life more meaningful, richer, joyful, and peaceful.

I am a transgender, sex positive, tattooed, feminist counselor. My space is gender affirming, kink aware, non-monogamy friendly, and sex worker allied. My counseling style is collaborative in nature. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and should be treated as such. Each therapy plan is individualized to fit each client’s unique needs and wants. My therapy model is relational, and systems focused. Let’s work together to explore and create space for growth and healing. I work with individuals and couples/partners, ages 18 and over.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I am a LPC with twenty years of mental health experience. I believe that therapy works best when it is a collaborative effort with therapist and client working together. While my approach is eclectic, recognizing that there is not a 'one size fits all' approach to counseling, I do work primarily from a Psychodynamic and Interpersonal perspective. There is more to counseling than a particular theoretical orientation. Providing a safe, supportive environment and the ability to sense what a person needs at a particular time are important therapeutic skills.

​I consider it a great honor when someone invites me to help with their struggles. My passion is to help people heal who have been devastated by trauma, addiction, and stressful life events. I work with all kinds of trauma such as childhood abuse/neglect, unexpected life events, a health crisis, and betrayal trauma caused by deception related to infidelity, porn, emotional affairs, and addiction. I use unique blends of EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model in healing betrayal trauma. My therapeutic style utilizes a blend of attachment & polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I am commited to helping individuals make positive changes in their lives. Searching for a therapist can be a confusing and intimidating process. During this time, I will strive to create a safe place for you to heal, grow, and achieve your goals. My clientele include children, adolesents, and adults and I have over 20 years experience working both in education and private practice.

Congratulations on seeking help, searching for a therapist is the first brave step you can take. Therapy can help you effectively deal with life’s challenges and improve your quality of life. I use a cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, humanistic, and positive psychology approach in my work. I work with clients on how to use a variety of specific proven strategies and tools to manage their emotions, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve their relationships.

As a therapist, I am passionate about working with people who are trying to make sense of the painful patterns in their lives. Often, the symptoms that bring people to therapy are an indication of deeper emotional wounds. The type of therapy I provide focuses on both resolving current symptoms and healing problematic relational patterns through the creation of a safe, consistent environment in which to understand the complexity of a person's experiences and history. Together we will work towards greater self-knowledge, compassion, and growth.

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.

After over 20 years as a psychologist, I have moved to a completely online practice. While this format may not be appropriate or comfortable for all people, for many it can be a great resource. Perhaps you live in an area of Oklahoma that makes it difficult for you to access services, or you want the convenience of meeting in the privacy of your home or office without spending to time going back and forth to a different location. The online format for therapy has been shown to be therapeutically effective, and it can be a great vehicle for forming a strong, caring therapeutic alliance that is the basis for future growth.

It's normal for people to feel unsure in knowing where to start when understanding difficult experiences. Life can often can leave us feeling overwhelmed, and we need someone to come alongside us as we sift through our own emotions, whether old or new. Within my practice, I'm looking to meet people in the places they're at, and working to create spaces that feel safe and hospitable for all. The hope in creating this space for clients is for therapy to give client's a space that helps them to better understand themselves, how they relate to others, and how they are capable of change.

Do you go to bed believing you’re a failure and wake up feeling stressed or guilty? Many people I work with, especially moms and women, feel this way. I help people who are dealing with stress, life transitions, parenting, or relationship struggles. I specialize in treating postpartum depression and related problems. You may not be able to eliminate every problem in your life, but you can develop an effective set of coping skills so you can feel less stressed and more optimistic about your future. My job is to help you recognize and enhance your strengths so you can create the life you want and deserve.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.
