Somatic Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

I think what most of us are seeking is a life that feels meaningful and worthwhile. Sometimes, the hardest part of that work is knowing who we truly are, and knowing what we need to get us there. Beneath it all, we hunger for peace and clarity? I am confident these things are possible for each of us. However, occasionally we just need a little help sorting it all out. I am a secular/non-religious therapist providing somatic, experiential, and cognitive modalities. I provide an affirming environment wherein you can explore, grow, and become your most authentic self. If you are ready brave person, I'd love to hear your story.

Clients of mine desire deeper connections in their relationship to themselves, to others, and to our world. I aim to cultivate a conscious therapeutic container wherein you can explore who you really are. From this place of acceptance you are free to grow into new ways of being and belonging.

Life is a journey, not a destination. I am here to help people along their path, whatever that may bring. I serve children, teens, adults, families and couples. I come form a multi- cultural and diverse background that helps me work with all populations while always taking into account the uniqueness of each of us. I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, autism, anger, OCD, trauma, ADHD, personality disorders, difficult life transitions, low self-esteem, work place stress, and/or relationship difficulties.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! I am an experienced therapist that's willing to listen and validate you. My goal is to have everyone feel welcomed and heard. I am an adolescent and adult certified professional trauma, CSAYC (Credentialed Sexual Abuse Youth Clinician) therapist working with trauma victims from war, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, physical and emotional abuse, individuals fleeing countries, of all ages and backgrounds, using somatic psychology, trauma-focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive trauma therapy, and EMDR tools, family system approach, and client center therapy.

Have you been in therapy for as long as you can remember and still have no idea how to regulate your emotions, what to do with your life, or how to maintain healthy relationships? Do you feel things so very deeply, and no one else seems to understand? Maybe you don't know how to turn off intrusive thoughts in your mind, and are desperate to find connection with something that’s real. Are you a caregiver navigating complex parenting dynamics and feeling distressed and hopeless? Have you suffered loss, invalidation, or abuse and have never been able to fully put that weight down? If so, you are my people.

​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.

I also work with children, adolescents and adults at Anchored in Hope, focusing on developmental and attachment trauma. I offer an intuitive and highly skilled healing process that blends trauma training with traditional and holistic modalities to meet the needs of each unique individual and nervous system.

If you've ever found yourself thinking "I don't know who I am/what I want/what I need", I am the therapist for you. Together, we will address negative self-talk while fostering hope, a kinder inner voice, and freedom from perfectionism. I help clients assert boundaries and end people-pleasing habits. My clients learn to reconnect with themselves, manage overwhelming emotions and burnout, and find peace from inner shame. My approach addresses trauma, helps cultivate authentic identity, and supports clients in rediscovering meaning and purpose.

Is stress, exhaustion, and being overwhelmed getting in the way of living the life you desire? Do past distressing events or having a history of unmet needs causing you not to fully connect with your loved ones or friends? Feelings of shame, being stuck, or unable to be fully present in the ‘here and now’ can be overwhelming and exhausting. My intention is to walk with client’s on their journey of finding inner peace, empowerment, and healing. I am a bilingual somatic psychotherapist and specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma, childhood abuse, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and peri/postpartum support.

At some point, we often find ourselves struggling to get past a problem, whether that problem is with an important relationship, or an inner emotional struggle. I enjoy working with others to understand how one came to be in such conflict and how one can move from old ways of coping to newer healthier ways. I believe working from a relational perspective is an important way to create an atmosphere of trust. I strive to help my patients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The more we know about ourselves the more freedom we have to make better choices in work, play, and relationships.

My practice is currently full, and I am unable to take on new clients at this time. This is a space where you draw from courage, show up, and let yourself be seen. You may be feeling uncertain, grief, heavy, or misunderstood. Maybe you are feeling stuck somewhere between something that has happened to you and something for which you feel responsible, powerless, or maybe unloved. Whether you are experiencing issues with adjustment or you are ready to heal from a life altering experience(s), it would be an honor to help you on your sacred journey to healing.

There is more to life than just "getting through." We all have a desire to live a fulfilling & impactful life but this society does NOT show us how. To create that is absolutely possible if you have the right education, lifestyle, & mentor that fits you. This was the case in my life, & is why I respect that each person is different & requires their own path. So, I create personalized programs for all my patients & clients to address their issues at the ROOT & rebuild their daily lives on a foundation of knowledge, joy, & habits that align them with their true intentions. Once the wins start accruing.. success is guaranteed.

I am often asked how I help my clients. First, I see you as more than a client. I could be in your shoes. I would want you to treat me like real person instead of just another client. I get to know you...the real you. I dedicate time to hear where you have been and how those experiences helped shape who you are today. Next, we identify the roadblocks that have kept you stuck. Lastly, we move into solutions. We work together to identify strategies and the most effective ways to implement them.

Navigating various relationships, life transitions, trauma, parenting issues, or a crisis in life can be extremely challenging. In overwhelming times, we often struggle to find the authentic support we seek through our journey. The choice to pursue healing and personal growth through counseling takes a tremendous amount of courage, and I greatly value and appreciate each interaction with my clients for this strength. It is my privilege to provide a safe, accepting and warm environment where we travel alongside each other in your unique experience.
